I do not feel this school is all it's cracked up to be. For one, having studied the test scores over the years it's evident that the elementary is carrying the middle school. Why is it that the 6-8th grade scores are so poor? They are the same kids who went there in elementary. The principals need

It greatly disappoints me that I'll have to move my daughter for middle school, possibly even 5th. Test scores do not give the whole picture, but with students like the ones Cubberley gets, the scores should be better. The kids deserve the same education others are getting just a few miles up the road. Read less

This is a phenomenal school. My husband and I purchased a home in our neighborhood because it is within 'Cubberley' boundaries. As far as fundraising goes - PTA has no choice but to fundraise all the time. The amount of money a school receives from the State is coorelated to the number of students a

Cubberley does not have very many of these students, and the State does not send Cubberley as much money as schools in lower socio-economic areas. Without fundraising money, Cubberley would not be able to provide the extras we as parents have all come to expect from the schools we send out children to. With regard to the rigor at Cubberley - I am very pleased. When my children leave Cubberley, I know they will be well prepared for high school and whatever lies ahead of them. Read less

I agree, I do believe this school is way overrated. I have not been happy with the level of instruction and communication since my child has begun. I will be looking into private school as well.

This school is highly overrated. Higher level district employees should be looking into things that are going on because it's not a very professional place and it trickles down to what matters: student achievement and my children are suffering for it. We will be taking them to private school next year.

This school fundraises too much, and nothing seems to get done. There are rules, but nothing is strictly enforced. The disciplinary actions are inadequate.

I have been very happy with my children's education at Cubberley. They have high, but reasonable expectations, but they are not high pressure. The fundraising was out of control, but they have recently created a foundation which will work to make those fundraisers more effective and efficient. I love
