    Serious favoritism issues with the staff and students. People who tell you they enjoyed their experience here are most likely one of the favorites. Very few options for electives, which are extremely underfunded. Teachers and administation are hired based on who they know, not merit or skill. Useless guidance counselor and countless useless teachers. In the 8 years I went here I can count on one hand the teachers I actually learned from. Social life at Cornerstone is poor, consisting of a few niches. Don’t send your kids here unless you’re okay with them being very unprepared for college and adult life.

    As an attendee of Cornerstone Charter Academy over the past 7 years, I have definitely had many experiences. Overall, I have really enjoyed my time spent at this school as it is quickly coming to an end in my last few days of seniot year. A really enjoyful part of the school is the smaller calss load and the more advanced coursework due to it being a moreso elite school. However, with the good comes the bad... it has taken many years for the school to progress to a normal level where it's functioning the same as many other high schools as well as having limited space due to overpopulation.
    Cornerstone was the best thing that happened to me. The small class sizes made it easy to receive help when needed by teachers. It is a very safe school and have a home town feel. Graduation was very personalized to the 101 graduating seniors in 2017. I loved it and always recommend!
