Our experience at Cashell has been outstanding. We are very grateful with the school staff and community

We are really happy with the school

The elementary school is acceptable, (and why I gave 2 stars and not 1) but it used to be excellent. Before COVID, the school had strong leadership under a principal who was a Godly man who set a clear tone and high standards. After he left, the overall quality declined significantly.The upper school (6th grade and above) has been especially disappointing. Since COVID, the school has grown too quickly and does not seem to have managed that growth well. In my experience, this has led to the hiring of teachers and assistants who appear unprepared or severely unqualified, and the academic environment and overall student moral has suffered as a result.Before COVID, this school was a very different place and I would have recommended it without hesitation. Today, based on our experience and in talking to other parents and students, I would not recommend the school. At this point, I would suggest that families seriously consider other options. Even public school should be considered over this school. In its current state, (since 2020) I believe this school may do more harm than good for many students.
