My child, now a third grader has been attending CPA since Kindergarten. She began K with slight recognition of letters in the Alphabet. Within the first 3 months she was reading/spelling very proficiently and exceeding my expectations by far. She is now reading 2.7 grades ahead of her current grade as

i am a very motivated parent, indeed. I was with my child for homework and classroom celebrations. I volunteered often and became very known with the teacher. However, I do not believe in food as a reward system (and yes, this was brought up at a PTA meeting this past year). I have written emails and

There is definitely a communication issue.Perhaps I just did not mesh well the personality of the teacher, I am waiting to find out. However, to say I was incoherent on procedure is not fair. 'Parental incoherence' does not cover a teachers lack of communication. My family is in education and they can tell you it's just bad policy not to answer parent concerns. It would be different if I experienced this just once, but this was throughout the whole year. Read less

I was not incoherent when I heard the expectations before school; however I did expect them to keep their word which was 20 min of homework for kindergarten and then an additional 10 min per year after. After completing 1st grade this year, I can assure you a complete hour every night of homework. Sure

When they start out the year loving school; math, reading etc... and end up hating it all you have to evaluate what is going on daily. I have seen it over this past year pressure, pressure, pressure. Couple that with the lack of leadership from the Board and the Directors inability to communicate effectively with her staff or in the case of parents.. complete failure to bother communicating when she doesn't deem it necessary and you have great academic scores and a miserable environment.

As I read over some of the other reviews I am amazed at how many parents must have been incoherent before school had even started. The teachers were in contact with us letting us know what was expected of our child months before school started. We knew they would have homework four nights a week, math

We knew that they were going to be rewarded with one small piece of candy & a treasure box toy on Friday, if they had no behavior problems during the week. If we did not like any of these requirements or procedures then we had the choice to remove our child before the school year even started! And now as my child is ending kindergarten I am amazed in the amount of growth she has made this year! Thank you CPA for your dedication to teaching! Read less

A lot of the kids are really struggling in our kindergaten class. The teachers are struggling and I think the teachers aide does a much better job with the kids.

I agree that the homework expectations are a bit high, especially for the Kindergarten class. However, my son went into school and did not have the ability to read or write, and now does both easily. He's also in the midst of a first grade math curriculum, which I would not have expected such a young

Not what I had in mind for my childs first year of school. The kindergarten class has 3 pages of homework plus reading every night. The kids are bribed with candy on a daily basis and teachers wonder why they are out of control. It seems to be a very stressful environment for most of the kids in my
