I love this school! Each and every grade prepares you for the next. In all my 9 years at this school, I have never been disappointed with it. All the teachers, faculty, and staff are kind, understanding, loving, and smart. I couldn't ask for better teachers. All the projects I did in elementary school were entertaining and fun. In middle school, I enjoy reasearching for projects. Despite COVID guidelines, my 6th grade year went good. I would have liked to be in-person more, but we want to be safe. I like how this year we get to choose as well. Miss Rohr prepares us great for 6th grade. She taught us great study skills and about learning. The teachers don't correct us harshly. I feel safe at this school and couldn't think that this school could be much better. Mr. Leach does a great job running this school, and I am very greatful. So far, this year has been great! I would just like to say to the faculty and staff at CLS, thank you so, so much for all that you do for us as students!
We transferred our children to CLS early in the Pandemic from MCPS to receive in-person schooling so we can continue to work. The amount of dedication and selflessness the staff and teachers displayed during this challenging and stressful time was a testament to their pride in their work and love of God.
The quality in the schooling is good. Cursive, hand writing, language arts and grammar were deficient in the public schools and I was grateful that it is emphasized here. There was a lot of catching up for my kids! Living a life of good character is discussed regularly.
My older child’s math did not grow much this year but it was because he was in accelerated math and this is not available at the school. I hope this can change.
We are keeping both our children in this school this coming year.

1. I'd like to see more solicitation of feedback through out the year across all schools (Elementary, Middle, High). I think this is the first time I'm seeing this type of opportunity for direct feedback.
2. It would have been nice for administration to check in on new families 1 and 2 months in to see how they are learning the ropes. Would be helpful to create a FAQ for new families.
3. Drivers in the afterschool pick up line could use regular reminders on being courteous and patient. Folks need to STOP jumping the line and CUTTING in front of others. It is so disrespectful and really makes me question what kind of example they are setting for their children if they can't respect others in a car pick up line!
4. Not sure if the admissions form has changed, but in the past it did NOT have a option for noting student's ethnicity as Hispanic/Latino or Other/Mix. The diversity has changed drastically over the past several years. Important to acknowledge this
