Poor - My child has had one or two excellent teachers and the rest of the time got stuck with teachers who were known to the administration ineffective - which is unfortunate. I will not be sending my younger child there.

As a student, I think I can speak correctly about the overall school. The current principal there Dr. Clark only cares about her "image" she does not interact with the students and when she does only to yell at them at the office door. She has rules in place that help but can be inconvenient and not helpful to most students. The overall school is poorly taken care of there is water leaking from the ceilings in the bathrooms and gym. For most of the bathrooms, there are locks missing from half of the stalls most of the stalls have inappropriate graphite on the walls that have been there since the 2021-2022 school year. Bullying is a nightmare if you are being bullied they tell you they will stop it but never do. Where most of the bullying goes on on the buses the people on the buses make a child's school day miserable. The kids will fight and throw stuff curse and bully anyone minding their own business. They let the kids off with a warning which does not work. There is little punishment and when they try punishment it never works. My friend had racist things said to her but they said "That is not ok we will talk to them about it". They tell them to stop they don't and they don't receive punishment. This has been an ongoing thing. The lunch is too long with short recess and they make you come in and sit down and make everyone quiet for 5 minutes then you can get your food which you should be able to do when you walk in and not have to wait to waste your recess. The teachers are pretty good some can be too much. When you are in 6th grade in music you have to do the "On tour Project" nobody wants to do it you are not even making music and they make you perform in front of two classes. This doesn't sound so bad but when a lot of kids today have social anxiety it can be too much. The students are quick to judge and talk about people none does anything about it. I will say you will make friends here that will be your friends for life but that Is one of the only things I look forward to.

Cheltenham School District is NOT safe for students let alone teachers … they are slow to respond to students safety where there are violent fights going on between students practically every day … student disrespect teachers and each other … there is NO order or direction for anyone.

The teachers and staff at Cedarbrook are the best. They are wonderful educators who really care about their students. Both my daughter and my son have had great experiences at CBK.
