This school helped my son graduate. After My husband passed my son had a difficult time adjusting and became defiant. His home school all but gave up on him and CCTA wasn't sure he would qualify for their program. They gave him a chance and now he is finished with his classes and ready to graduate in June. The teachers are really caring and work with the family as a whole. The administration goes far beyond what I see most do nowadays. One of my favorite individuals there is Ms. Ruiz. That beautiful soul cares so much for the kids, constantly going above and beyond her duties.
