Our experience at Cedar Road Elementary School has been a nightmare. The data on the U.S. Department of Education website tells a concerning story: test scores are declining, enrollment is increasing, disciplinary actions are rising, and per-pupil spending is lower than both the district and state averages.Beyond the numbers, there appears to be significant teacher turnover and an administrative culture that focuses more on punishment and documenting student shortcomings than on supporting growth and success.

I do not recommend this school. Everyone claims this is a great school but it is not. I have spoken to many other parents who also feel that the school does not have the students' best interests at heart and the administration would rather students be injured or embarrassed than be helped and show kindness.The principal doesn't like young children behaving as children and the teachers are so overly focused on SPED students they ignore non-sped.When students are injured by other students the victim is blamed.Do not believe the 8/10 rating, it is heavily inaccurate to the reality of the school.

I have NEVER been happier with any other childcare my son has attended. I have had so many issues finding a trustworthy childcare that would look after my son as I would. And FINALLY I have found that and more! I am currently pregnant with my second child and I guarantee he will be attending this childcare as well! Its like dropping your child off with family every day! :)

My children attended CRCA from Pre-K to 1st grade, and unfortunately, their transition to public school was extremely difficult. I initially thought they were doing well academically since I never received negative feedback during parent-teacher conferences, and their report cards were always good. However, I was blindsided when, during the last week of school, my preschooler’s teacher suddenly informed me of multiple issues—far too late to address them. When I questioned this, I was told it was due to teacher turnover and differences in teaching styles.Frequent staff changes were a major problem. Teachers were constantly being fired or leaving, making it difficult for students to adjust and maintain academic progress. Despite the smaller class sizes and supposed one-on-one attention, my children were significantly behind when they entered public school, struggling both academically and with the larger classroom environment.While I appreciated the school’s small, family-oriented atmosphere, the education was severely lacking. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this school.

Dishonest: Lie, Deceive, and then Hide. Unfortunately, my experience with this place has been deeply disappointing. I was given misleading information and false promises, from the head of the school, shen bennett. She is ready to say whatever is needed to secure payment, including statements that later proved untrue. After payment was made, communication abruptly stopped — emails went unanswered and follow-up became impossible.I had hoped for a much better experience, but instead was misled and ignored. I would strongly caution others to be very careful before engaging with this organization.
