The 2009 Stanford 10 test results are in for Grades K-8, and once again CPS students have strong results. ALL median grade equivalents were 1 to 3 years above national median grades. The sixth grade was particularly strong, with many subtest results 2 1/2 to 5 levels above grade. More details are under Academics--Elementary. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR AMAZING STUDENTS AND TEACHERS!

With just a little over a month for planning, DreamFest 2009 raised over $18,000 profit for CPS. The event was well-attended and enjoyed by all. The few brief rainshowers did not dampen spirits or slow partiicpation. Jimbo Miller of Cajun Rides was so impressed by our school and the polite behavior of our students that he made a donation to CP at the end of the fair.
