After four years at another school in a G&T program, my son couldn't be happier in school. He has dedicated, smart, caring and innovative teachers. The principal is welcoming, involved and understands how kids really grow into responsible, thoughtful, scholarly citizens. The parent coordinator is

I don't think burning kids out with test prep and busy-work homework is how you raise outstanding students. It's how you burn kids out quickly! Read less

My child has attend this school since kindergarten and our entire family is ever so pleased.

It seems likely that a gifted program could have been attainable given my child's highly accelerated learning, but such children can thrive in this school, which treats kids as individuals and continues to move them rapidly ahead, even as they learn about the real world and interact with diverse classmates from many different backgrounds and with many different styles and paces of learning.

It took months of tours, research, and discussions with other parents for us to decide that CPE1 is the place we want our children to go for their elementary education. We have two children at the school (PK & 1) and we all love it. CPE1 is a breath of fresh air with its deemphasis on standardized
... Read more testing and its focus on really teaching children to think. My 1st grader is reading independently, has no problem with addition, is tackling subtraction, and knows enough about science and nature to 'rock' the Trivail Pursuit orange category (am I dating myself?). My PK child writes independently and in two short months has developed sufficient word recognition skills to where she 'reads' to me at night. This is a great school for all the right reasons and hopefully the seriously flawed schoolwide grading system will not detract from what CPE1 does so well. Read less

I cannot think of another school where I would like to have my two children attend. The teachers truly see each child as an individual and work extremely hard to foster their growth. Children really have the opportunity to make choices during the school day, which has made my children mature and centered.

Parents and families are a welcome presence at CPEl, and there are many community events which brings families closer together. If it takes a village to raise a child, this is one of those villages! Families who go to CPE know that a good education cannot be measured simply by test scores. We don't want our children taught to the test-we want our children to be learning. Read less

The open class room concept works and I can see that my daughter, who turns 5yrs in Dec 07 is sounding out words on the bus, or wherever we are and telling me things she is learning about 'seeds' or whatever the topic is that week!

CPE1 is a very unique public school. The teachers and principal involve themselves in the children's lives like I have never seen. It is amazing to find teachers that have insight into your children because they seriously care about teaching them. It is a holistic environment that teaches the 'basics'

There is room for and encouragement of diversity within the school because creativity, freedom, and friendship are fostered. There is no urgency, it seems, to compare one child to the next academically because they all seem to learn anyway. Teachers assist those that need extra help and motivate those that are moving ahead. The environment is not rigidly structured and therefore, not for everyone. Read less
