We went to Cumberland for 5 years and had 3 kids. Everything changed when Mrs. Carlson arrived. She behaves like a robot, zero humanity and don’t listen to parents or students. I have soooo many talks about this qith other moms. The school is lacking academics every year more and more. They only teach the basic, no homework, no test, movie day every 2 weeks and not evolution. We move this year to another school and WOW we could see the difference!!! We have test every term and we can see how the kids are doing and can measure the progress during the year. PTA is strong and really good.

Personally speaking, the teachers are amazing. One example is Mr. Huang, who is very helpful with whatever you need, and he is very caring. The school's admin team is mostly good, but the principal is really hard to reach for both parents, students, and staff, which is poor management in my opinion, but the assistant principal team is great and always ready to help. The math and science curriculum they use is fine, but the textbooks are very bad; the science TCI curriculum is very bad. One example is this year, Miss Villareal (7th grade, SS Teacher) converted the TCI lessons into fun activities that still taught us the same things. The cafeteria food is awful, so I recommend bringing food from home every single day. Maybe try the pizza, but the rest is.....not good.Overall, the school is good, with some major flaws that could be fixed easily, but the principal is "too busy" to care.

This school is a unique type of evil. I was one of the top students at my old school and in this new one I am struggling just not to fail. The administration is the worst part of the school with you being suspended for minor things that shouldn't even get someone reprimanded like using the s-word. This school is also not for those with a view more right-leaning than left wing extremists. The school offers "special education" to those people and also says they will sue them if they will not keep quiet. Safety is also another concern though not in the way you think, people there will intentionally bore you out until you are too bored to even stay in your chair. School is more of a competition with kids aiming for straight 4.0 GPAs unweighted and teachers and family can't even be bothered to tell them school is not life.
