... Read more this year, it is an administrative monstrosity! Mrs. Pergerson (Principal) and Mrs. Lorton (Assistant Principal) are available, caring, and personal. Every school has areas in which it can improve; the Cape is no different; but I'd be hard-pressed to find a school I like better, or that my son likes better! Read less

We've had a great experience at Cape. Problems have been resolved quickly with a minimum of theatrics. Admin staff is very brusque -- just ignore them.

Both of my girls transferred to Cape from a Montessori program. Now they are both in middle school, and I am happy to say my expectations have been exceeded in every way. I cannot recommend the CSCES highly enough!

My son has been there for 4 years now. The teachers we have had have been awesome. My son has ADHD and each year his teacher has worked with me, worked with my son, has exercised a ton of patience to get him thru the year. This is all around an amazing school.

My Kids love this school and they are smart kids.....Here is the major problem - the office staff treats the volunteers like trash. They have not respect for all the work that the volunteers do in that school. Ms. Myers needs to find another job where she is not around people. She is very very rude

I had an unbearable experience with this school. The teachers and the principal are unwilling to work on a problem with children being bullied. I would never recommend this school to anyone.

My daughter is a fourth grader at Cape, and has been there since Kindergarten. My son attended 4th and 5th grade at Cape, and is now a High School Junior. Both kids are somewhat average academically, but I was very impressed with the academic support and encouragement they received from the teachers.
... Read more Four out of my daughters five teachers have been incredibly warm, friendly, happy people, who clearly love their jobs, love the kids, and share that enthusiasm in the classroom. My son's earlier grade-school years were spent in Northern Virginia, and the contrast is shocking. We should have moved here years earlier. The music and sports programs are great, and the onsite before-and-after-care program is absolutely wonderful - even better than the high-priced private programs nearby. Read less
