My son is in his first year and we love the small size and caring community. Even as a kindergartener, my son has been encouraged to work hard--his reading and math are strong and the school has made that happen. I have not seen any bullying, etc.

The problem is the type of children who attend this school or should I say parents (the apple doesn t fall from the tree) Parents often drive too fast in the parking lot which is too small.

I have to agree that Ceders intentions are good, but fall a bit short because there too many children there with behavioral problems.

The school has also out grown it's current facility and should consider finding a new location to accommodate it's growth. There are some great teachers at Cedars who obviously love their jobs, but there are also some scary students their that make me feel uneasy.

Charter schools always sound great on paper, any I do believe this one has the greatest of intentions. I know the teachers work very hard and are definitely there for the love of teaching.
