Where do I start…Transportation: kids are ROUTINELY late to school and coming home (hour plus late both ways) because the district can’t find a transport company (100% outsourced) that can keep employees, and the ones they have are not safe drivers (there have been multiple accidents this year alone (2025/26))School environment: The school started construction and never finished, hallways blocked off, all lockers removed, cafeteria not big enough to handle the volume of students.Classrooms: teachers who are consistently late grading assignments (thus we get notifications of missing assignments). Teachers changing the syllabus mid year because they can’t keep up (had a teacher tell my student that they can’t keep up with the reading grades so they dropped the required book reading). Teachers have yelled at entire classrooms numerous times and when confronted admin will deny and counter accuse students of causing disruptive behavior. Teachers can’t keep up with their overcrowded classrooms so grades slip, Chromebooks are used as a tool to replace one on one learning because very few of the teachers appear to want to educate over collecting pay and going home.Bullying: Kids here either have to be thick skinned and a little mean or they’re getting ran over. Verbal boxing matches and insults are a daily routine both in the classroom and in the hallways. There have been students that have spoiled themselves in class numerous times and instead of the school addressing this they tell everyone else to be accepting. Kids meow and bark at their teachers and each other…..it’s a zooOverall LC feels like a movie set, the kind of school you’d see on a bad 90s movie where the students are out of control, bullying is rampant, teachers are burnt out, and the principals have rose colored lenses and are reminiscent of “the good old days”. It’s really sad that LC is in the state capitals district but feels liked something in a run down inner city with no funding.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this great school. My daughter loves it. It is just small enough that she knows more than half the school, and she is a first grader! Her teachers have always gone above and beyond what I would expect from teachers. The teachers wear their hearts on their sleeves and you can tell. There is a lot of parental involvement. While I was growing up, Cedar Hill was the best school, 20 years later, I would still say it is the best! Anytime I mention that my child goes to Cedar Hill, I get lots of compliments about how lucky we are to live in this school district.

I have serve anxiety and its hard for me to focus in my classes when I worry to much only some teacher care some staff members are really rude they should help student instead of making them have more anxiety only one really good teacher asks me everyday how my day is going Mrs Bischoff she is the best at helping algebra teacher
