Cedar River Elementary

School needs help, kids with learning disabilities just flying threw. No help or communication unless it’s all about what’s not happening. For other students who are great at learning homework would be nice so when they get into high school, middle school they are prepared for the real world.

Crestwood is an amazing school! I have two kids currently attending and have been for four years, we have never had a teacher we don’t like. The teachers truly care about their students. PTA does such fun events for all the kids and are very involved.

My son went to Rock Creek and loved this school so much! His experience was great with all the activities and learning this school provides for each and every student. My son used to always come home happy after every school day because of his teachers and friends. My son loves this school, thank you so much!

I went to this school a while ago and it was just the best community I could have asked for and I was genuinely excited and happy to learn there and play with my friends. They provided a great learning experience and were willing to help kids who just needed an extra boost. It’s a great school and I’m so thankful that it’s here helping kids!

Our experience at Shadow Lake has been excellent! There is a great community, school and PTA plan tons of events thru the year, engaging parents and staff. Front office staff is always warm, friendly and helpful. The principal greets all the kids in the morning with a smile. Overall vibe of the school is happy and safe. So far all my kids teachers have been lovely, communicative and have addressed issues promptly.

My daughter attended the pre-K program here for 1.5 years (started mid-year) and also did 2 summers at the camps. She entered as a shy 3 year old and really blossomed, leaving at just shy of 6 with a strong personality, good friends, and great academic skills. She has always picked up reading and math easily, and here she was allowed to move beyond the basic counting and letter sounds she had mastered at 3 and entered kindergarten reading at a 1st grade level (based on kindergarten teacher's assessment) and adding and subtracting two digit numbers. She also loved the practical life skills, especially peeling boiled eggs. As a parent, I liked that pictures and sometimes even videos are uploaded regularly so I can see what she does there. I strongly wanted to keep her there for kindergarten and beyond but she wanted to go to the 'big school' with her sister and it would have been difficult financially so we left, but would go back in a heartbeat if she wasn't thriving in public school.

My daughter has been a student from Kinder through 3rd grade thus far. TES has been an amazing and safe learning place for her. She trusts and respects the majority of her teachers and the Principal. Communication has been pretty good each school year...even through the pandemic.Student projects and art work have been creative and impressive. Mr. Gaston is a remarkable leader for the staff, teachers, students, and parents. I have no experience with Special Education, so I did not include a review for that portion.
