Our kids have attended 2 schools before we moved here. Cadence Park School is by far our favorite school! The principle is wonderful and very involved and supported. The teachers are all fabulous! Not to mention the PTSA of Cadence are doing so much to make students school life enriched! Overall we love this school.

Teachers are amazing, engaging, and overall help students "dig in" to what the curriculum is (and beyond), at a very high level. Facilities are nice and are maintained well. Physical incidents between students are extremely rare, and during my experience of this school I have not once heard of an actual fight between students.

Private school attention in a public school. A gem of a school that is very forward thinking, all inclusive and looks at the whole child and not just state test scores yet students test high in that as well. Growth mindset is a driving factor in the way the teachers teach here. You can also tell all the teachers here love teaching, love teaching at this school and it all trickles down to the students. We have a child that has learning differences and they have supported her the whole way without us having to fight for services. Truly feels like I can reach out to the teachers anytime and that they are equally invested in my children’s growth and education. The principal here Mr Grasso has done a fantastic job creating a wonderful school community. The love the staff have for this school is apparent.

Our family has been part of Cadence Park School ("CPS") since it opened in 2018. During this time, we have witnessed its tremendous growth as well as its extraordinary response to the COVID pandemic. It seems no matter what challenge CPS is presented with, its leadership and staff have respond the most spectacularly effective, supportive, safe and compassionate manner. Principal Grasso is a strong leader who has created a safe and positive learning environment with a multi-cultural focus. Assistant Principal Hopkins has a special talent for handling disciplinary issues, such as bullying, name-calling, etc. In these situations, I have seen her employ a collaborative/teaching protocol with the offending students; which, in my opinion, is far more effective than the typical punitive response. The teaching staff is highly motivated, passionate, caring and dedicated to making sure that all students have the opportunity to learn under the multiple learning platforms (traditional, hybrid or virtual). Together, this exceptional group of talented professionals have created an environment that values participatory teaching and learning, resulting in trust and rapport among students and between the staff and students. It is our experience that students at CPS are challenged to achieve high expectations and they receive the support necessary to meet those expectations. We are truly blessed to be a part of the CPS community.

Big school, small feel..... just like a private school! The teachers in the middle school are outstanding, so very supportive, enthusiastic, and seem to be so happy to be there! Great middle school choice, for your 6th-8th grader!
