already graduated but i figured i should leave a review. i hear mrs allen is gone, thank goodness! she put me and my grade through hell. she def chose favorites and gave me iss for a really stupid reason that wasnt against the rules, trying to stay anon so im not specifying. she was out to get me or something. a lot of the teachers wouldnt take you seriously and you would have to get used to the belittling. theres a few teachers that were good, like mr pshar. i never learnt math as well as i did when in his class. amazing teacher. but on top of that they only really seemed to care about how good you made the school look. didnt matter if you wanted to go online, half time, etc. if you made them look good they refuse to let you go. i found it really difficult to learn in my chemistry class but the teacher was nice, it seems a lot of other students had that problem too. the school is very unorganized as well. i also wish my teach area actually taught us stuff. marketing prepares you to be a walmart employee, not a manager or someone successful. i found that really disappointing. the dances were awful too loll, just go to your home schools dances. not only were the dances extremely lame but it looked like they were thrown together last minute. and i dont want to get ableist but they throw in low functioning people with normal people causing the class to significantly slow. i have no problem with those people besides when it takes away from my education and it most definitely did. we have life skills which is for those types of people but it seems they just dont put a lot of people who need to be in that, in that. i think i summed up my expierence well and overall it was an okay school considering the classes were easier than my homeschool. less...

So my experience at CCTI was alright but still wasn't the best. Now I will say that some of the teachers there are pretty great and a few of them helped me through tough times but the truth is CCTI likes to cover up the bad stuff. All they care about is winning trophies so there school looks good on the outside but on the inside things are far worse to how they treat their students and how they handle situations. You could also say there is a lot of favoritism in that school. Now what I experienced was getting basically told I'm not allowed to come to the nurse for anything because I apparently was going to many times. So I resorted to bringing my own stuff with me so I didn't have to go to the nurse what so ever and maybe that's not allowed but majority of the time the school nurse will get mad at you for coming there too many times. I also had a teacher who favored the girls over the guys and basically told us a lot of the time that guys were inferior. This academic teacher also used photo's of me without my consent and gave me more complements than I was comfortable with. So CCTI has its perks but there's not a lot of good things going on with...

I attended that school from 2021 to 2024; on January 2, 2024, my mother pulled me out. My issue with the school extended beyond the children; I didn't really give a damn about what they had to say. The administration chose to single me out for abuse during my entire stay; they don't give a damn about IEPs and disregard them. the idea Allen is absurd. I went to the school to retrieve my belongings after my mom pulled me away from them because of her, and I can't tolerate how phony she is. They tried to get me to sign documents saying I was quitting school altogether and wouldn't be attending another one. I used to enjoy the idea of graduating from school from where my parents went, but don't send your kids here; it's not a well-rounded school. The health-med teacher is incompetent and makes fun of her own students in front of other students. Most of the staff members lack the proper codes, and kids from all the classes are treated poorly. They search every student without cause and give them strange looks when they push their shirts against their chests to make sure they aren't...
