Ronald Reagan Elementary School

We are very happy with Patsy Sommer Elementary! The teachers are caring, dedicated, and truly invested in the students’ success. The principal leads with warmth and professionalism, creating a positive and welcoming school environment. My son loves going to school every day, and we feel grateful to be part of such a wonderful community!

We love Faubion. Our kid is thriving. We love the community of teachers, staff and parents. Our child struggles with anxiety and has two teachers and the counselor who regularly check in on them.

I have been to many schools before I came to Holy Family and I can say it is one of a kind. There are so many things that are great about this school the community, the education, the students are just a few of the wonderful things. The students thrive and grow together and it's beautiful to see them become servant leaders. The school offers a lot of extracurricular activities for the kids. For the elementary kids they have soccer, PSIA competitions, chess, choir, dance classes and more. The librarian is amazing not only does she make going to the library a fun experience but hosts mini museum exhibits and museum shows that are captivating. The middle schoolers have clubs such as the Neurology club, Student Council, One Act Play, miniatures, Minecraft, Book Club, Bible study, the Microscopes club, Angels for Life, rock band practice during lunch along with various sports such as soccer, flag and tackle football, cheer, teach, cross country basket ball, volleyball, golf and tennis. Middle school also has various electives they can choose from such as band, choir, orchestra, theater, art, ceramics, 3d art, pals program and library and office aides, Faith in Action, Environmental STEM, yearbook, Spanish and Computer science and Latin. Starting in 7th grade students have the opportunity to take accelerated courses some of which take place at the High School. This school is a fantastic school, my one warning would be to stay away from parent drama. Like at any school the few unhappy people speak the loudest but you just have to walk the halls and see the kids in action to know what a fabulous school this really is.

Thoughts from a CPM graduate:I attended CPM from 1st grade through 5th, I will graduate high school in 2026. To say I am grateful I went to Cedar Park Montessori would not be enough, this school impacted me in so many ways, it allowed me to embrace my creativity, ask questions, learn to share and pay attention and ultimately blossom into who I am now! I read once in a book, something along the lines of “If you're taught wrong in elementary school, you'll be trying to catch that train for the rest of your life." Through my experiences at other schools, they teach you very uniform, everyone is learning at the same speed and you are taught that raising your hand just makes the lesson longer, nobody likes a teachers pet or a goody two shoes. Whatever you do… Don’t challenge popular beliefs, you are taught to follow the system. CPM is quite literally the opposite, you are encouraged to look at things differently and ask “why?“ I used to question “why does this math problem even work?” And at CPM, I was greeted with an actual teacher who wanted me to understand not just pass. It’s a smaller more personal learning environment where instead of memorizing you actually learn!!! And its at YOUR pace, not the kids next to you, when you first grasp something it’s beautiful and at CPM that feeling was honored by teachers and staff, at CPM the reward isn't it in the candy it’s in the understanding. I learned how to love learning at CPM. This is my greatest strong suit; being able to find joy in seeking knowledge. Thats my favorite takeaway. After CPM I went to a public middle school, it was a bit rocky adjusting, not only to the education system but because Montessori kids are so much more emotionally aware. But by having good roots and being taught morals young, I was able to choose my path, I didn't fall into the wrong group, and to this day I've never given into peer pressure, (I know very few teenagers can say that!) and not to toot my own horn, but, im aware that my maturity level is higher than many of my peers because of my early education. I can’t thank my parents enough for choosing CPM, truly, one day, I wish to give my child the education and opportunities my parents gave me by enrolling me at Cedar Park Montessori.

Elsa England Elementary has been an incredible experience for our family. Our first year had a few hiccups so I waited for the 3rd year to finish to give a fair review. The environment is warm, welcoming, and—most importantly—safe. Principal Williams ensures there is a visible police presence during drop-off and pick-up, and she keeps families informed through timely email updates about any safety-related incidents—whether it's a suspicious person spotted nearby or something as routine as a water leak. Principal Williams is phenomenal. She’s approachable, communicative, and clearly respected by both staff and families. There was an incident at school that frightened our daughter, and Principal Williams responded immediately, even arranging counseling support to help her feel safe and heard. As a parent, it’s a huge relief to know your child is being cared for not just academically, but emotionally and socially as well. Her passion is evident as she leads with both heart and integrity, creating a school culture rooted in care and excellence.The teachers are equally outstanding—nurturing, creative, and deeply committed to their students’ growth, particularly Ms. Brooks and Ms. Cho! They go above and beyond to build strong relationships and create engaging, meaningful learning experiences.Due to some ongoing medical issues, I haven’t been able to volunteer as much as I would have liked. That said, one of the things I deeply appreciate about Elsa England is its incredibly engaged parent community. Families here are actively involved, and there are always parents volunteering, supporting events, and partnering with staff to create a vibrant school experience. It truly feels like a collaborative village. The campus itself is beautiful and well-maintained, with clean, modern facilities that reflect the pride the community takes in the school.If I had one suggestion for improvement, it would be the school website. At times, it can be difficult to navigate or find up-to-date information, which often leads me to reach out to staff for clarification. A clearer, more user-friendly website would make things easier for parents and reduce the number of inquiries staff receive.We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of Elsa England. 

Teachers have no control of the kids behaviors. My child has gotten spit on, with no known repercussions. When your child comes home and tells you they are not learning anything…it speaks volumes. Teachers quitting/being fired, and long term subs quitting, bc they cannot handle the kids. I’m sad for my kids elementary experience.
