The CFMS has a nice new addition thanks to the taxpayers, but this school is a full of virtue signaling liberal teachers. The Principal, Mr. Kunsman, signs all his emails to the students with his preferred pronouns and the teachers wear pins stating their preferred pronouns as well. Mr. Kunsman also promotes LQBTQAI+ sexuality during his morning announcements. These are middle school not Highschool students and this whole narrative disunity belong in school period. There is also a lot of critical race theory taught. If you're okay with this then you''ll love the Chippewa Falls public schools as for me my child will be going to private school from now on.

This Middle School was nothing but happy times and a lot of good friends. I would really recommend to anyone in the area.

I do not recommend this middle school. As a concerned parent regarding an issue that occurred 12-21-18 right before the students were released for Christmas break, it came to my attention that 2 students were engaging in sexual acts in class during a lockdown. When I brought it to the attention of the teacher and principal they brushed it off. This is not okay behavior and should have been properly addressed. This middle school does not care about the students. Teachers are judgemental and really make kids feel like they are nothing. Most have no business teaching. Wish we had more options in this district.
