What Parents Should Know

Collegium Cs is a large school: 2,610 students. Size usually brings more course choices and activities than a smaller school can staff, but kids can also blend into the crowd. Ask how the school keeps students known and supported.

At 9.7:1 students to teachers, Collegium Cs sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

Collegium Cs is a charter school: publicly funded, but run with more independence than a traditional district school. Many charters are built around a specific model or focus, so it's worth understanding this one's mission, how enrollment works, and how it differs from the district schools nearby.
