Cherry Hill Gt Program

I have had children at Cherry Hill since 2004. Mrs. Hart (current principal) is excellent. My children have been in the dual language program and have learned a lot. We are looking forward to being able to use the whole school when the rebuild is complete. Until it is done the sack lunches three days per week and pizza two days per week are the best we can get so my kids mostly have sack lunch from home. Parents are always welcome to talk with the principal about concerns and are invited to join PTA and be involved with activities going on at the school. I have been able to meet with teachers to address concerns about my children and have found most of the teachers able to work with me and my kids. I have also interacted with teachers who do not teach my kids. Some years I have visited every classroom some and I have been delighted to see the positive learning atmosphere created in each room.

We love the teachers and their support of the arts. We also love the afterschool partnership with the boys and girls club of America.

We LOVE Westmore! It has a very diverse population with many cultures and the teachers are incredible. We also love the music program, the science program and the school play!

HORRIBLE SCHOOL! This school was so traumatizing for me. I got bullied and was almost forced to doing drugs. we tried to inform the school about this but we got nothing back they told us it wasn't their problem which clearly it was. I love playing the cello and my mom came to one of my concerts before the concert my mom went into the bathroom to wash her hands. She told me that it smelled like cigarettes . I don’t know how every student went through the day without passing out every single time they went to the bathroom. I also had horrible times with the food I have pictures of RAW meat that I took when it was lunch time. Don’t recommend this school.1. Doing nothing about drugs 2. Bullying. They don’t care3. Food spoiled milk and raw meat 4. Specific colors of uniform or you will be forced to change and call home..One semester passed and I moved to a way better school.

We recently moved out of state, but while we were in Utah, we had such an incredible experience at Arches. At Arches, all of the teachers and employees have such intentionality and pride in what they are building. They are passionate about teaching and instilling knowledge, skills and good character in our children. The teachers care so much and during parent-teacher conference it is clear they are really paying attention to our childrens' development, and actively trying to help them grow. I also love the focus on character, leadership and behavior development. My young kids learned how to follow instructions, respect other peoples' space, respect authority, work hard, find joy in learning, be responsible for completing assignments, and be organized. Also, all of our kids made massive leaps academically at Arches, which has set them all up very well. The intentionality of Arches cannot be beat. Arches has left a positive mark on each of our children that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Thank you!
