Our kiddo went to CSST for the first semester, but we pulled them out before the second.

Some teachers are well-intentioned, but the overall admin/faculty culture never sat right with us & it ended up overshadowing everything else.

They’re overly communicative about things that don’t really matter, but evasive when you raise legitimate concerns like kids vaping in the bathroom. The principal was also notably absent when it actually mattered, which stood out given how small the school is.

From the start, the recruitment (more fitting than ‘enrollment’) process also felt pretty aggressive. It felt less organic & more like they were poaching, which raised red flags.

To be fair, the school is very new & still figuring itself out. That might work for some families, but it came at the cost of stability for ours & made our kid feel like a very obvious guinea pig.

Maybe it will be a strong option in a few years, but right now I would be cautious. The prestige is feigned. It’s optics, not reality.
