Cambridge Elementary School

Students with disabilities are getting Little to no support. They are being warehouse and poorly run special ed classrooms that function more like overpaid babysitters. No learning is happening there.Accommodations are not being met, and there is no accountability.

If you are looking for a school with a communal feel where parents are familiar not only with their child's teacher but with all administration and teachers in other grades, this is the school for your child. Even the custodial and cafeteria staff know all the children by name and are greeted by them on a daily basis. Teachers know their craft, know their students and families. This is my 4th year teaching at this school and I have never taught at a school that has felt like everyone is family and everyone's opinion matters. This school is very strong on diversity and social/emotional learning. Children learn that differences are a norm and how to advocate for other children who are having a difficult day. There are times, where I am walking down the hall and I get tackled from behind with a big hug from a student. Teachers absolutely love their little scholars and they feel important and understand that teachers want them to succeed. Teachers are extremely knowledgeable in their craft. Special Education department is flexible and knowledgeable. Special Education teachers advocate for their student's need to provide the tools they need to be successful in the classroom.

The PIP program is nothing but a bunch of gossipers. They go to your home then all discuss your home with other parents. The “director” is a joke and puts the bug in parents ear about “divorce”. Be careful. She says many parents of deaf children are divorced becuz she left her hubs years ago.
