Cedaroak Park Primary School

If your child is serious about learning then they will have a great experience at Sunset. The teachers that my kids had are highly motivated, well trained and effective. People that leave negative reviews about the school are usually parents of the students that tend to cause problems at the school. If you want your child to be exposed to quality teaching in literacy and math then this is a very good school. Of course some of the teachers are better than others in certain grades but that is the case in all schools. Overall Sunset provides a great education and we are very content with how well prepared our children are academically.

My family's experience at Bolton was all bad. My child is very high achieving and was repeatedly punished and publicly shamed for showing normal signs of boredom with the material. They were also bullied by a classmate and even physically hurt by this classmate multiple times and no one at the school did anything. We were never even told that it was happening until our child told us. When we met with the teacher about it we were told that it had been a problem for months, but we were never informed and it was never stopped. We immediately switched schools for the next year and have been so happy. My child is encouraged to learn at their own excelerated pace and their uniqness as a person has been celebrated by every adult in the school. My child and I both look back on their time at Bolton with sadness. It was a really difficult year.

Head StartIn my experience, the school welcomes and includes families as partners in their children's education, providing an environment safe from violence, discrimination, and harsh punishment.

Please look else where when it comes to your child's education. Dr, Mike Thompson took over as principle for the 2016-2017 and has taken away all of the integrity this school had. All but 2 of the staff members have walked away from this school, Dr. Mike is a bully to the teachers, he ordered a new playground with out funds to pay for it etc. A few years back Dr. Mike was the principle of Stafford Academy here locally but the teachers were tired of what he did to their school so they walked out, families left and the school closed it doors forever. That is what is happening here. I and a bunch of other parents could list a lot of things but it will all be evident if you choose to enroll your child at this school. There are much better options then this school.

When we shop for a new house it is 100% about schools, schools, schools. We picked a home near Trillium after touring all of the local schools. It was easily the best school, in the best area. It also has the advantage of West Linn. No Portland problems, no Lake O prices for old small homes. My children flourished under their Trillium teachers. Trillium really promotes bonding with students new to the area, making sure they foster good friend groups with their peers. They loved to go out the door to class every day, and got great marks in class. We also loved all of the community events that Trillium offers throughout the year.
