Principle is terrible.. she lies and discriminates against My child with special needs..Called him a liar and stubborn in front of His First IEP MEETING in front of all the team.. she was so unprofessional that a district administrator had to step in. And take over.. she lied about. Hecking up on my child with special health needs. Took teachers side.. than from guilt through the counselor under the bus. Saying she even said my child was a liar.. she's horrible. You don't treat kids with special needs so harshly..she needs to get out of her position as principle..

The teachers bully the students. I have had 3 children here over a long period of years and not impressed at all. They may have high test scores but everything else is a mess.

Cram has a wonderful office staff and principal. They work hard to keep Cram a friendly inviting place that is safe for children to learn. Some teachers are great, and some are newer and lack experience.

Cram is an excellent school. The teachers really care about the kids and helping them all to grow and achieve academic excellence. The office staff are extremely helpful and the principle, Mrs Cinq Mars knows most of the kids by name and is always out in the morning and after school to help the children and greet them. My son who is in first grade loves going to school and I do to.

My son is currently in first grade at Cram. While I was thrilled with his teacher and experience in Kindergarten last year, I have not been so thrilled this year. His homework averaged out throughout the week takes between one to one and a half hours, which I think is ridiculous for a six-year-old. From what I have read, the research done on homework agrees with my summation - it is simply too much. When I brought my concerns to the teacher, she completely brushed me off. My son is doing very well academically, but for children who struggle, this won't be a good fit. I personally could go without the stressful daily homework sessions, and I know there are others who feel the same. The monthly awards ceremonies are a bit tedious too. All they seem to do for us is tell my own student that he didn't get an award that month other than that for attendance - which should really be my award in the first place since I'm the one making sure he gets to school on time each day. And what if he gets sick and simply can't go to school, does he not get an award for that? They're just silly.
