Cedar Fork was the first school my son attened and since has been in 3 other schools. The 2nd school was because Wake County changed his school and the other 2 were because of moving. Out of all of these schools, Cedar Fork IS the best. The teachers are wonderful, the interaction with the parents from

My son felt safe in Cedar Fork and if it wasn't for his teacher and the wonderful program that the school has to help your children learn better, my son wouldn't be where he is today. THIS SCHOOL BY ALL MEANS IS A 5 STAR SCHOOL!!! Read less

This is most definitely a 5 star school in my opinion. I have 2 children at the school and we love it. The staff and teachers are warm and caring and the principal is absolutely wonderful. She is very approachable. The new assistant principal is terrific as well. You can tell that they both truly

I'm sorry but this is not a 10 school!!! Please really look into it. Those who are happy are pretty much lucky. This school has great personal teachers but not enough experience, and they take to long to help kids with learning difficulties. If Wake County demands academic achievements at certain levels,
... Read more teachers, assit, schools staff should address the fact that not all kids are cut with the same cookie shape. Routine and same procedure will not work and as teachers and principals dealing with kids should know this. How can you spec kids performing all great without enough PE, as they mentioned before. Also artistically the school lacks on performance, every holiday show is so boring and mediocre. Even do you have kids who are full of live and energy. But I'm not surprise, PE and energy is dead at Cedar Fork Elementary. Read less

Everyone has an opinion, but I must disagree with the post about the Principal. She is wonderful - manages the school to a T, is very caring, approachable & open with parental communication. Having had a kid at another school that was supposed to be in a great area, I know the difference when you don't
... Read more have a good principal (Brier Creek). Here you couldn't ask for better. The teachers are wonderful & caring. We love this school, it is cultural diverse & we desperately hope we don't get zoned out for the next year. We may move just to stay in the Cedar Fork district. As with any school you get out what you put in. Parents you must be involved. We enjoy being in the PTA and volunteering - it is a great school community & the students by and large are happy & do well. Read less

It is true what the previous poster has written about the class sizes, they have been larger each year, as Morrisville has continued to pass out building permits. Kudos to Wake county Board of Education for capping Cedar Fork for the next two years! The grading system is Wake County's new way and
... Read more it was an adjustment for all parents. I wish there was a better way to help parents understand the difference between a 3 and a 4. If your child earns a 3 they are doing well :o) Overall, Cedar Fork is a great school, with caring staff and administration, great PTA and wonderful parents and children. We are all here with one common goal: to see our children get the best education possible. As a parent, I couldn't be happier! Read less

This is our first year in North Carolina and our daugther's first year in private school. There some pros and cons about Cedar Fork. The classrooms are overcrowded but to the town of Morrisville's fault. They are approved all the construction of these new communities so it was not a well thought out
... Read more plan as far a big enough school. I do not like that the teachers do not correct the homework. They are concerened that students might be getting help at home. As a teacher myself you get to know your students after awhile can tell when someone's is getting help. Second the grading system, my daugther recieved a 100% on every spelling test but did not recieve a 4 because she did not go above and beyond (wake county policy).Huh? As someone mentioned before the do need more PE and more ways to challenge the gifted students. Read less

Although the staff is very nice, class size is just too large; principal lacks management skills and passion towards education. All she cares is grade. I don't feel 'my school' spirits at all.
