Chandler Preparatory Academy Review

Although I was only at Chandler Preparatory Academy for 3 years (6th-8th grade), I nevertheless hold it in the utmost esteem. Where do I begin? Firstly, I must address the claims in previous reviews that CPA allows inappropriate or dangerous behavior- this is simply not true and I am offended that former students would spread these sorts of falsehoods around the internet. On the contrary, the administration was very involved in the wellbeing of the student body, oftentimes encouraging students to speak up if anything was bothering them. I now go to a public high school, and I sometimes wish my teachers cared about me half as much as the CPA faculty. Continuing on that vein, the bonds I formed among my peers were amazing; bluntly stated, it is literally the easiest place in the world to make friends. However, while the academics are advertised as "highly challenging", I found that I was deeply bored and unstimulated at CPA, especially in the STEM subjects. It is truly a liberal arts curriculum, and I was appalled at the fact that no AP, IB or Capstone classes were offered. Additionally, I considered the homework load to be laughably small and the general atmosphere to be overly conservative; it was for these reasons that I had to break free. Of course, I am a hyper- competitive person when it comes to academics, and while I thought CPA was quite easy, a lot of my classmates regarded it as very challenging. In conclusion, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Chandler Preparatory Academy, and I would encourage potential students to come try it out for themselves!

When I was in elementary school, I knew I was in a not as good with education school. When I came here in sixth grade, it was a challenge at first, but now I feel smart and my self esteem has definetly went up since I have come here.

Arizona college prep is way better. Go there if you want a real challenge

attended 6th grade,Most of the teachers did not seem as if they wanted to teach and help others.

I went to Archway since Kindergarten and it was a very educationally stable school. I am now in seventh grade and it is going downhill. One girl is turning the whole school bad and is setting bad examples and drug selling. That is the only issue i have had other than harsh dress coding.

I have sent several kids through CPA over the last 8 years. The kids never love it when they are here, it is a rigorous academic school. But when they get to college they always thank us for making them stay with it. It prepares them very well. The sports programs are great too.

The school is very well designed to prepare middle schoolers to high school, and high schoolers to college. They prepare you to go to no matter what college you want to go to, and (if you went early) built everything they teach ground up. Although it is difficult to get in, and difficult to adjust in the new type of school, its friendly community welcome you and helps you get on level with everyone else. I don't know what these political rumors on here are, but i'm not familiar with any of those claims. Overall, its a really great school, and should be considered by every parent willing to pay some money to set up their child for success.

I'm a student and it's cool except for the shoes they make you wear and some teachers
