I have nothing good to say about this school. I have spent thousands on therapy for my child. I have finally had a transfer to another school across the county approved because the principals at this school will do nothing to stop the daily harassment and bullying of my child.

We have an amazing staff who care deeply about the success of all our students. Materials and ideas are freely shared among teachers at grade and subject levels. While the state standards are of appropriate importance, we emphasize character development, personal responsibility, and critical thinking. Preparation for lifelong success is paramount. While reality dictates that we cannot be all things to all people, it nevertheless does not prevent us from approaching each child and situation as unique and important.

There are increasingly rare situations in public education where catering to the needs of the whole child rather than simply grinding through rote memorization for standardized tests is set as the benchmark for success. Cub Run is one such school. The little things still matter in this building. Individual principal signatures on ALL (yes 598) student report cards, time and individual attention by teachers and a dynamic and engaged cadre of parents and community volunteers provide for exceptional foundational learning opportunities for students. The "magic" at this school is palpable upon entering the door.
