Honestly one of the worst schools! Principal Peeples needs to go, I've heard from many MANY teachers about her love for playing favorites and how she bullies her own employees. Why doesn't she get moved? Oh guess what? She used to work in HR and so her buddies there don't do a thing about her turn over rate. Think about it. This school has some of the highest turn over rate and the biggest complaint I've heard is leadership. Wake up and smell the roses y'all! My kid has gotten hit and punched and shoved all year long and they are getting more chance to come back and continue to traumatize my kid! Why do we allow the few to ruin it for the bunch? Do better!!!!!!

Not a safe school. It has mold, leaking AC, and kids fight teachers and fights kids in all grades. It is not safe and the students are under a lot of stress because it is not safe for them and their teachers. Do not send your kid there. There are shootings in the area a lot too so there are tons of lockdowns. Lots of teachers leave a lot and don't want to be there because it too much. I wish my kid's teacher stayed and that the school was safer for her! Very disappointed!

This school works teachers to death. They have an extremely high turn over rate and do not respond to bad behavior with students or teachers in mind. I hope that they come under new administration soon to help these kids. This school is one of the most poverty striken schools in the county. The principal cares more about data than they do about my child. Do not go to this school if you can help it. I pray that this school can find better leadership.

Good school, great teachers and staffs. My daughter been to the school for two years and there hasn't been no issues. I was so grateful to have great teachers and the principal that will actually make time for the students and parents to develop our education. But of course there will be some students that don't know how to act because some parents would allow their children to do whatever they want in their home. Sometimes when it comes to testing, teachers will work really hard to try to work with the students. Whenever they don't know how to work with the students with the lessons they would try to help the students how work the problem and as far as the parents they will have a meeting to show the parents how to help the kids with their math and reading science, social studies homework. In the future I would recommend other kids come to the school. They do have a lot of events and some other activities, but not too much for field trips. After my daughter complete this year I will review after.

Doing a lot better than they were. Was worried about my daughter starting kindergarten there since she came from such a great preschool program, but it turned out the perception was not entirely true Thank goodness. There are always bad apples in the bunch, but a fid group of teachers. The principle is just OK.

This is one of the worst elementary schools in Guilford County. The majority (not all) of the teachers in the school care nothing about their students. The administration is horrible and the principal is a terrible excuse for a leader in a public education institution. All he (Mr. Weikhart) is concerned about is looking good on the outside to the superintendent and other bosses. There is no support from the administration for the teachers that do actually care. Parents, if you can help it at all DO NOT send your child(ren) to Ceasar Cone Elementary School in Greensboro NC!

This school has great teachers that are doing well with teaching the new common core curriculum. My children love going to school at Cone. In every thing that we do there is always room for growth and improvement.
