Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
Why is my child's grade lower than expected?
Many 9th and 10th graders have not embraced the habit of STUDYING! We are a college-prep school which requires students to study weekly vocabulary and be prepared for pop-quizzes. Also, many students entering CMA are not setting aside the time required for completing homework in all classes.Back to Top

Why can my child not make up homework without an excused absence?
CMA defines an excused absence as one with documentation from a physician, court official, or an absence in regards to a funeral. These are the only excuses that will be accepted from a higher institution (college/university)which we are assuming is the ultimate goal for our CMA students. As we all know, there will be times that a student does not need to visit a physician and is merely sick with a cold, asthma, etc. Therefore, there are many opportunities at CMA for extra credit in order to make up the work for any particular absence. All students are advised to take advantage of these opportunities in case of future absences that may be unexcused!Back to Top
