GreatSchools Rating
My child has a special problem . The school staff were not helpful at all. I feel some discrimination to minors. My son went months without school, they did not let him do assignments at home without any reasons. They laugh my son and his anxieties problems as if they do not exist. The school counselor told me to go to hospital emergency room to get a letter for my son so he can be put on home bound. I did not know that it costs more than 1000 dollars for the emergency fee. The school counselor knew my son does not have insurance. We have to pay out of our pocket. It is only for a home bound medical letter. When I told them about the fee, they just walked away. My friends said it is very cruel to tell us to go to emergency room without informing about the cost. Moreover, it is psychological problem that won't be diagnosed by one visit. I think they have reasons why they don't want to put him at home bound, and the reason is racism.
My child was bullied by the teachers and other students. We have just moved here from other state. My son had problems concentrated because other students kept talking and talking in the class and during assignments. He got bad scores at the beginning, and the teachers did whatever they could so he would move out from the school. After I read other reviews, I understood what have happened so far. I agree that the principal only cares about grades, and she wants to eliminate students with bad grades. Actually my son was assessed by a psychologist and he found that he is very intelligent. It is the school which is too noisy that he could not study at all. What a waste of time sending a kid to this kind of school that does not educate children and only focus on test scores.
OMG, what a bunch of whining parents!! My child did her three yrs. at CHMS and LOVED it, as did I. These are pubescent "darlings" that need a thumb on them...NO RECESS? boo hoo...middle school is HARD people and it only gets tougher in high school. I think most of you still wipe your child's nose and don't expect them to do it themselves. It is no longer elementary school. Middle school and the rigorous academics are getting them ready for HIGH SCHOOL and the WORLD! if it is too tough, home school them because you are going to find all the same issues at any other middle school in Charlotte. The principal runs a tight ship and the AK principal runs an even tighter ship. I say GOOD for both of them!
We moved to Charlotte Meck after living in Marvin (Union County) and I must say we have been very pleased with this school, and was quite surprised how it stacked up to our last school. Our daughter is doing very well in Community House and we have had no issues. She goes to tutoring when its needed or the teacher feels its needed, we loved her 7th grade teachers and now she is in 8th grade and her math and science teacher are her favorite. For us as a family we made the right decision to move to Ballantyne as our daughter is getting an excellent education.
I think this school is okay. I just moved here. About the previous post on April 17 only on occasions is there one hour of homework. In fact my Algebra I teacher says if you spend more than an hour on your homework then put it aside and come to help. I like the before school tutoring and wiki thing. cmswiki.wikispaces.net Here is some info about the school: Grading Scale: 93-100 A 85-92 B 77-84 C 70-76 D 69 and below F Grade makeup: Formal(Tests and quizzes)-65% Informal(classwork and homework)-35% Grade makeup(High school credit course): Formal-70% Informal-30% Math courses for 6th grade: Math 6 Honours Math 6 Math 7 Algebra I??

Given the choice of schools in the area, I suppose this one would be the lesser of two evils and the greater of another. My children came from an elementary school in which the kids would potentially go to one of three different middle schools. We chose this one, because my oldest child had an IEP and most of the kids who knew him from Elementary were going here so we felt that the transition would be a bit easier. While we NEVER encountered a bullying issue - even with a child with special needs - we did find more than our fair share of teachers who are ill-equipped to do the job, and those who are well- equipped are being drowned by so many hands clutching for them to help them stay afloat. The IEP resources are a "joke." Most Resource personnel think that it is their job to just tell the kids what they're supposed to do to get a singular answer right, instead of showing them the methodologies required to get them ALL right (IOW they seem to fee it's easier to do their work for them instead of showing them how to do it). If you have a choice, choose somewhere else. Otherwise pray for a TOTAL Administrative change.
We relocated to CLT in late July, and this is our first year at CHMS, and last. My children have had the privilege to attend schools in two separates states in the USA and oversees, and my expectations of CHMS fell way short for my kids and I. The principal and front staff do not have a sense of service, but instead of incredible arrogance. Please serve others well all the time or get out. My kids are tired of the numerous wiki pages each individual teacher has. The work is not loaded most of the time. Most of the teachers are nice and well prepared, but we feel kids are squashed under unrelenting school procedures with no play time or socializing. I operate a company with 500+ employees I just relocated to Charlotte, and if any of my associates do not have a heart for service, an understanding that customers have needs, and need to be treated with decency with no exception are terminated on the spot.
8:30 am - 5:00 pm / M-F - that is child's school week. After 45 hours you would think there was some serious learning and teaching going on, to the contrary. 80 minute blocks with no talking, no moving, no socializing and then they assign homework. Forget after school sports or activities, there is at least an hour of homework every day. After being successful at every endeavor in his life, my son is failing to "learn how to do Community House". Orientation was a joke and instead of preparing our family for the transition, we were subjected to two hours of the incredibly arrogant principal to tell us what we were not going to do at "her school". Assignments are delivered to the kids in a collegiate format where we have to check each individual teacher's "wiki" pages nightly. Half the work or assignments are not uploaded, each wiki is in a different format, and it is a part time job managing my 6th graders school work. Our child is bright, well spoken, and popular and everything that makes him special is squashed under the unrelenting thumb of the procedures. We are pulling him out after this year and have nothing positive to say about our experience at CHMS.
We just moved here from the midwest and like many of the other reviews, feel the same way about the school being run like a prison. The children are given assigned seats for lunch and they can't socialize with anyone in the cafeteria unless they are at their specific table. There is ZERO socializing in the hallways before or after school, and no recess. The students are given 5 minutes to switch between classes and use the restroom. One teacher that my child has for math requires that at least one warm up problem is started during this 5 minute transition time. It makes it very hard for my child to get to the classroom, use the restroom, and have the work started. I wished we would have gone to Union county. I do like my child's teachers, I just don't care for the military style running of the building. If your child is new to the school, it will be EXTREMELY hard to meet new friends do to the lack of of time to just be a kid.
We moved here from upstate NY and could not believe the difference in schools. The front office staff at Community House MS was the most unfriendly, unhelpful staff I have ever encountered. I go to the office frequently and they definitely need some special training on how to treat parents and students. They all appear to hate their jobs. I worked in a school for 10 years while living in NY and in my experience front office staff members are usually very friendly and helpful. My child was bullied on facebook and on her phone. I called the school and they said there was nothing they could do about it if it did not occur at school. There were a couple of amazing teachers but for the most part the teachers were terrible. Wished we had a better experience.
I have read the last several reviews and I agree the school is run with an iron hand but with 1600 kids it has to be. In a perfect world we would have another middle school built but we don't have that so we have a school with a lot of kids. My daughter has had a pretty good experience. Her counselor was great and has taken the time to talk to me when I needed to I think south Charlotte schools take a very strong stance on bullying. And I can tell you my daughter hasn't seen half of what I saw and experienced in middle school which I am thankful for. I think its a good school. I feel that she is safe. I will say I have heard the high school we feed into is like a prison and I do think high schoolers need some freedom. But in middle school I think the structure is good.
There are so many problems with the previous post. First of all the bullying. I know it's hard to admit, but parents aren't as aware of what is going on in their child's life either because they're too busy, or b/c technology has made it easier for students to bully one another and keep things private. Tell your granddaughter's parents to do their parenting job and stop blaming the school. I know first hand that the school does everything they legally can to stop bullying. Tests on this site are state tests which are very high because the students are taught the curriculum which is what the test is based on. Parents of this school can be very demanding and if they don't get their way, they think the school is bad. As a former teacher, you should help your children be more supportive of the school. Be part of the solution - not a problem. Teachers and administration here hold students to high standards, but that's only truly effective with supportive parents.
My granddaughter attended CHMS last year and I sincerely hope her parents are able to find a better solution for her for the future. There is no leadership, no accountability, and little close supervision of the students. When a problem is brought to the attention of the administration, it is effectively swept under the carpet. Bullying is a huge problem at this school and virtually nothing is done to curtail it. Find another school, don't believe the hype! Test scores are high because students are allowed to retake the test when they fail something. "Teaching the test" is the order of the day! "Great Schools" uses tests as the basis for their rating, which explains their score of 10. Just for your information, I am a former teacher and have taught in four states. NEVER have I known of a poorer environment for students, nor have I seen a more lax administration. I would avoid this school at all costs if you value your student's self-esteem.
no wonder, children act the way they do, because of parents having their schildren under their skirts and spoiling all of their bad behaviors.
I wholeheartedly agree with the previous post. CHMS is not what it is hyped to be. The principal is completely data driven, with no regard for what is in the best interest of your child. The teachers, while some are terrific, the majority are mediocre at best, making it a luck of the draw depending on who your student ends up with. I have had 2 students go through that school and the first 3 years was quite a different experience from the last 3 years. It would be in the best interest of our wonderful neighborhood if this principal were to be transferred to another school in the district where her militaristic ways would serve those incorrigible kids and not those in Ballantyne who don't need that! CMS should oust her.
If you're moving to the Ballantyne area, looking for a middle school for your child & have a choice, then I strongly recommend sending your love one(s) somewhere else. The principle runs the school like a prison and appears more like a warden. Kids aren't allowed to be kids & experience recess, instead the time to make it between classes & allowing them to chew gum is her answer to excersice, REALLY. No wonder obesity is on the rise in South Charlotte. Kids are definitely second rated citizens and some of the teachers shouldn't be allowed to teach w/ their military No Talking, No Moving, No breathing mentality. I know this reads quite harsh but I assure you this is true, just ask kids that attend. Teachers seem grumpy & pleading your case to the Asst Principle will get you no where, he only appeases you and nothing gets resolved. I never intended having my child attend a Military School but even a Military School allows their cadets to be youthful & have breaks from their tough regimine. Avoid this school like the plague if you can, if you love your child you will. I speak on behalf of many fearful parents afraid of retaliation on their children. VERY DISSAPOINTED PARENT
My child has had problems with his schoolwork and the his school coounselor along with all the teachers have been more than supportive.
Community House is FANTASTIC! We recently withdrew from the private school world (Charlotte Latin) and have surprisingly found the academics at CHMS to be more rigorous than at Latin! The school is well-run, the teachers give individualized attention, and my child loves the environment. We are so glad we made the switch!
I am an 8th grd student at CHM. The classes are fine as are the teachers. There are a couple of teachers who are not so great but thy hve been warned and some have been removed. What I would like to explain is the bullying problem. I see what happens firsthand and heres a suprise. I dont find it to be too much of a problem. Some comments that should not be said are said but it's clear that they are not something tht depresses a student. The prob is that there are certain kids that go alert teachers the second they hear the a mean comment. Its usually just a joke. Thas wat makes kids bully. When they get in trouble for somthing that nobody honestly cares about. When i say nobody i mean that the person who recieved the comment doesn't really care wat was said about them. The reason there are probs are because some kids r fighting wars that don't need to be fought. i may have sounded mean or like a bully with this review, but i promise i am not. Im one of those kids who can just observe what is actually the situation. The school is fine though. By the way teachers and staff are taking actions. We have seminars and lessons about bullying. This is almost too much action being taken.
I have a 6th & 7th grader at this school. The teachers are excellent & very caring; however, there are serious bullying problems at this school. I have spoken with both teachers & administration about this problem, but they don't do anything. It seems to be getting worse. I am now looking for a private school to send my kids to next year.

The Comedians
From left, stars of this month's comedy Damsels in Distress: Aubrey Plaza, 27; Greta Gerwig, 28; Carrie MacLemore, 26; Analeigh Tipton, 24; and Megalyn Echikunwoke, 28.
The Sarcastic One
You know Plaza as Parks and Recreation's deadpan assistant, April. Her style? "I went to Catholic school, so a plaid skirt, a button-down and leather shoes were all I knew," she says. "That's still how I dress."
The Nerdy One
Gerwig jumps effortlessly from mainstream hits (No Strings Attached) to indies (Greenberg). "In high school, all I wanted was a T-shirt that said BEBE in rhinestones," says Gerwig. "That's what all the popular girls wore."
The Sweet One
MacLemore makes her feature-film debut in Damsels. "I'm obsessed with white sundresses," says the Alabama native, who recently got married to her hometown sweetheart. "He was my blind date to the debutante ball!"
The Low-Key One
Tipton got her start on America's Next Top Model and broke out in Crazy, Stupid, Love. "I wear high-tops all the time," Tipton says. "They're held together with duct tape. When I have a date, I have to ask, 'We're going to a dive bar…right?'"
The Fashion-Forward One
Echikunwoke has done the TV circuit (CSI: Miami, 90210) and is now moving into the major leagues. "I change, like, three times a day," she says. "I'll put something on and be like, 'Eh—over it.' I don't know why!"
Like NBC's Parenthood—or adorable puppies? You'll love this next girl.

Primary biliary cirrhosis is irritation and swelling (inflammation) of the bile ducts of the liver, which blocks the flow of bile. This obstruction damages liver cells and leads to scarring called cirrhosis.
The cause of inflamed bile ducts in the liver is not known. However, primary biliary cirrhosis is an autoimmune disorder. That means your body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
The disease more commonly affects middle-aged women.
Long-term bile obstruction is believed to lead to liver cirrhosis. The disease may be associated with autoimmune disorders such as:
More than half of patients have no symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Symptoms usually come on gradually and may include:
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam.
The following tests can check to see if your liver is working properly:
Other tests that can help diagnose this disease are:
The goal of treatment is to ease symptoms and prevent complications.
Cholestyramine (or colestipol) may reduce the itching. Ursodeoxycholic acid may improve removal of bile from the bloodstream may improve survival in some patients who have taken it for 4 years.
Vitamin replacement therapy restores vitamins A, K, and D, which are lost in fatty stools. A calcium supplement should be added to prevent or treat soft, weakened bones (osteomalacia).
Liver transplant before liver failure occurs may be successful.
The outcome can vary. If the condition is not treated, most patients will need a liver transplant to prevent death from this condition. About a quarter of patients who've had the disease for 10 years will experience liver failure. Doctors can now use a statistical model to predict the best time to do the transplant.
Progressive cirrhosis can lead to liver failure. Complications can include:

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This came out great for me, good quality paper and magnet. Sticks to the fridge very good. Arrived almost a week ahead of schedule. Images were a little smaller in person than anticipated, but they were to scale with the rest of the card, so it looked fine. Mailed out with only one stamp-- i was a little worried because they seemed a bit heavier than a normal envelope weight. I wish that would have been included in the description. Note that your pricing adds up correctly, I got a call a few days after the order was placed that I was under-charged by $15, ha! Overall however, I was very pleased with the outcome, I've gotten a lot of comments from friends/family on how nice my STD was!"
"I fell in love with this design when I first saw it, so when we finally got around to doing save-the-dates, I *HAD* to get these magnets!! They're decently-sized (not quite as big as a real postcard, but close), and the "stamps" in the corner are about the size of regular postage stamps, so plenty big to see details of the picture. Print quality is very nice!! The edges of the magnets did curve up a bit when I first got them, but I just stuck them all over my fridge and they flattened out nicely."
"We are having a very small out of town wedding, so we are opting not to do the traditional wedding invitations. But wanted to do something to mark the date. Absolutely love our save the dates!! Perfect for our personality, perfect for our needs, ordering was easy, shipped fast & received ahead of the shipping date schedule!! Highly recommend!!"
"I am really pleased with these beautiful magnets. The design is great, the quality is wonderful, and we get them on time. Thank you so much for your outstanding job."
"Once again, I was extremely satisfied with this product. One picture turned out a little saturated but it was a very minor detail ( I can be very picky) but other than that, I was very satisfied!"

International Programs
EPA Programs in Central Asia
Explore our work in Central Asia:
Each of these activities are detailed below.
The International Science and Technology Center (ISTC)
The International Science and Technology Center (ISTC) was established in Moscow by an international agreement in November 1992 as a nonproliferation program. The Center coordinates efforts of numerous governments, international organizations, and private sector industries, providing former weapons scientists from Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States with new opportunities for sustainable, peaceful employment.
ISTC activities include research projects, which employ scientists in the development of new science and technology, and supplemental programs, such as training and workshops. The United States is a funding party to the ISTC, and EPA has been an ISTC Partner since 2001.
US EPA is currently supporting three research projects in the region:
- Kazakhstan: Bioremediation of Mercury Contamination at a Former Chemical Plant, using Native Bacterial Cultures
- Kyrgystan: Trans-Continental Transport of Air Pollution from Central Asia
- Tajikistan: Identifying Sources of Persistent Organic Pollutants in Food
In the past, US EPA supported 5 additional projects in Kazakhstan and one in Uzbekistan.
Mercury Mining in Kyrgystan
The last mine known to export primary mined mercury to the global market is in the nation of Kyrgyzstan. Through the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership, EPA is assisting the nation of Kyrgyzstan to develop a plan to phase out primary mercury production at this mine.
Learn more about the Primary Mercury Supply Project of the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership.
Regional Environmental Center (REC) for Central Asia
From 2003-2009, EPA EPA supported the Regional Environmental Center (REC) for Central Asia, based in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
To improve the Water Supply to Villages of Illl-Balkhash Region, EPA supported repair and rehabilitation activities of water pipeline networks. With involvement of the local communities, projects were completed in four villages. Efforts included the establishment of local Water Consumers Associations, and funds from local communities were used to support a percentage of the work.
Global Methane Initiative
The Global Methane Initiative (GMI) is an international public-private initiative that advances cost effective, near-term methane recovery and use as a clean energy source in four sectors: agriculture, coal mines, landfills, and oil and gas systems.
Kazakhstan is a GMI partner country. A complete list of activities in Kazakhstan is available on the website of the Global Methane Initiative.

Grant was also known as Tyrannosaurus Rex Mullins.

"During the course of the investigation homicide detectives identified Brandon Lee Johnston as a suspect," said Ed Windbigler with the Elkhart County Prosecutor's Office. "The Elkhart County Prosecuting Attorney's Office filed the charge against Johnston in the Elkhart Circuit Court and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Johnston was arrested that same day and remains in the Elkhart County Correctional facility."
An initial hearing for 18-year-old Johnston has been set for August 23, 2012 at 8:30 a.m.
