My daughter attended this school from the age of 3 (PK3) through the 6th grade. The academics were stellar and provided an incredible educational foundation for success. I would highly recommend Cambridge, just start your child at an early age. The pace was fast and the test scores proved my child was testing all the way up to high school levels in some areas. If your focus is academics, this is the place to be. Extra curricular activities are not available. My daughter received exactly what she needed from it. She has self initiative, is well mannered and is performing at the top of her class at her new school. Thank you Cambridge!

Cambridge square appears to be a good school when you inquire but after my child enrolled it is was a poor choice. It is a family-owned private school with many teachers that are not certified. This school has a limited number of teachers and students at each grade level. Pre-k -7th classes are merged often and combined into one class because of their low ratio of students and teachers. They do not have the funds for adequate cafeteria staff/vendors so they purchase food for lunch at fast food restaurants( long john silvers, taco bueno, taco bell, pizza hut etc). They do not have a robotics program as advertised with their enrollment packet/website. Prek-3rd grade children are not monitored accurately and are at risk for their safety because of their limited numbers of teachers/ funds. They accept all applicants and will allows any student to attend (behavior problems). Strongly not recommended!

I researched many schools and Cambridge Square is an AWESOME school for Pre-K through 3rd grade! They have an intense focus on academics! The tuition is affordable and there's no screening so it is a perfect school to start your child's education. Only complaint is there's a lack of communication with parents. I twice found out my child was performing in a program THE DAY OF! While the teachers are great (especially Ms. Johnson), I agree with the other commenter - the administration (principals) do not seem to appreciate (or even want sometimes) parent involvement. I've offered to volunteer many times and it seems it's almost an offense to them! It IS a family-run school, so there may be some control-freak issues. With all this, I would STILL do it all over again. For Pre-K through 3rd, you just can't beat the academics there!

The things that attracted us to the school were the robotics program, diversity, small class sizes, and qualified teachers. Over the past few years, the school has not offered the robotics program, and a change in the city's demographics has changed the diversity scale. The classes are small, but that s due to enrollment decline and the number of qualified teachers. The school does not screen its applicants, which has led the school to admit students with academic and behavior problems. Those kids are being thrust into an environment they are not prepared for which leads to distraction of the other students. Additionally, because of a limited number of teachers and students at each grade level, they have merged classes, 5 - 7th are all combined into one class. There are no extracurricular activities for the kids. The Pre-K thru 3rd grade program provides a good foundation.
