Cedar Valley Middle School offers programs for students in grades 6-8 in the Round Rock area. Academically, the school excels. The Texas Academic Report shows students averaging well over 90 percent above target aptitude in math, reading, writing, and science subject areas.
Teachers average 11 years of educational experience, so students enjoy top-notch teaching by qualified instructors who aren't new to the middle school atmosphere. Career and technical programs, a gifted program, a bilingual/ESL program, and a superbly-staffed special education program offer something for students with a wide range of skills, challenges, and goals.
An ever-growing fine arts program also enables students to explore their artistic interests under the instruction of top-notch teachers. Cedar Valley teachers listen to student interests, which has resulted in students' ability to enroll in their choice of electives 99 percent of the time, from music theater to art, choir, or band. This type of program allows students to choose the options they want to explore while growing according to Cedar Valley's nurturing but challenging academic expectations.
What Parents Are Saying
According to parents, the teachers are really the highlight of Cedar Valley: "Cedar Valley has been one of the best schools I've ever encountered. The teachers are wonderful and have a true spirit of higher learning." The availability of teachers and their dedication to crafting a positive, challenging learning experience is a common thing among reviewers, who say they wouldn't send their kids anywhere else.
"This school offers a wide range of core academic subjects, electives and extracurricular activities." The wide range of electives and options for student involvement makes Cedar Valley stand out from other middle schools in the Round Rock area and other parts of the country, some parents said. And because students play such a key role in which elective classes they take, those electives and extracurriculars continue to expand.
Another common thread among reviewers is the school's excellent communication with teachers, students, and the parents themselves. "This school defines what communication is all about," one parent said. Another emphasized that clear communication is given top priority. That emphasis, coupled with staff that truly care for students' growth and learning, makes for an unbeatable strategy to continue growing the school and providing more opportunities for students than ever before.
