In the 4 years my kid was at this school, she was having a bless. Even now she is at middle school and going to high school next year, she would still remember her teachers from Cedar wood and talks about them all the time. Every year she had an amazing teacher and especially at grade 3, I don't want to name name, but her grade 3 teacher was my kid's all time favor. All those teachers know their stuff and are very patient. We are very happy that we have lived in that neighborhood, with all those amazing teachers!

Attending Cedarwood Elementary for six years was an incredible experience that I was fortunate to have. The feedback received regarding academics was mostly positive. The staff were experienced and supportive without being overly strict. The school culture and exceptional social-emotional support left an indelible impression on me. Bullying was a rare occurrence, and I had a sizable group of friends before the pandemic. Overall, my experience at this school was one of belonging and I would strongly recommend it to anyone considering attending.

We moved to a particular area of Bothell so, our daughter could attend Cedar Wood Elementary. I do believe if your child is a typically developing child, then Cedar Wood would be perfect for you. I have been made aware that student's test scores who have IEPs are not factored into the school's average test scores. If they were, the school's overall rating would be significantly less prestigious. I have been battling with Cedar Wood as well as the Everett School District for several months now, to get specialized teacher than my daughter is entitled to, according to federal laws. It's as if the school and school district lacks the resources, funds and integrity to meet ALL the student's needs. Cedar Wood has been non-compliant with our daughter's IEP for 4 months now and the school district directors are still trying to get the services in place. Also, new at Cedar Wood this year is the Achievement Program. This program is intended for children with behavioral challenges. Some of these children have not been properly monitored or supervised and have been violent against staff numerous times as well as being known to cause extensive damage to the school. Again, Cedar Wood nor the Everett School District was prepared or equipped for such a program. There was no insight or planning for such potential problems that resulted in a teacher being reassigned elsewhere. It is all a very sad reality and it is the student's that suffer. There are such amazing general education teachers and specialists, who have such a passion for what they do and it shows. I really had such high hopes for Cedar Wood. There are many student's who are quite advanced from extensive parental involvement who excel at this school. I believe because of the rigorous parental involvement with a majority of the "gifted" student's is why Cedar Wood has such a high rating. If they were to get assessed on how they manage ALL student's, they would be receiving a failing grade. I truly hope things change and improve so that Cedar Wood can someday live up to it's mythological reputation.

My 9 year old daughter attends Cedar Wood. She has been diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia. Because of her learning disorders, my daughter was 2 years behind her peers in regards to reading. She entered her 3rd grade year reading at a 1st grade level. After only ONE semester she is now on par with her peers!!! This wouldn't be possible without her hard work, and the amazing staffs kind intervention. This school was such a wonderful gift upon our relocation from Texas.

Not only has the leadership and faculty at Cedarwood created an excellent learning environment for the children attending, they have also strengthened the community by reaching out to it, and leading by example to help provide a stronger and healthier community with lots of parent involvement. Cedarwood is a first class school!
