  We felt very welcomed from the moment we started there. Principal, teachers, and administrative staff have all been wonderful, kind, and professional. They communicate well, the teachers seem to genuinely love and care for their students, and they strive to celebrate individuality while also trying to ensure that everyone is given the attention needed to keep them on the same learning path. Been very pleased with our experience there so far and our child is very happy and thriving! Looking forward to what is yet to come!

  There is no sense of community unless you are part of one small circle. Suggestions from parents are not welcomed or acknowledged even though such would benefit the children. Arrogant. Communication is lacking, but unprofesionalism is thriving there. Information that you should receive without asking has to be requested. And Heaven forbid if you have a child who has a disabilty. They have inadequate training, but what is worse than that is some of the staff's unwillingness to understand children with special needs. Transfer if you can.

  I was also a single parent at this school. We supported the school as much as any other. They would have places like mcdonald's for raising money. When i went to them the principal would walk around and talk to everyone but single parents and my daughter won a lunch with her. You would think she could of noticed her. Her third grade teacher had told me that all she had to do was standard learning and there were other kids that needed to be brought up to speed while my daughter got no education. I switched to woodland and they are excellent with my daughter and they push her to do more than standard..

  Similar to other comments that have been posted I feel the principal and other staff members at Cherokee have no clue on how to create an environment that focuses on learning. I would recommend any parent to skip this school and look elsewhere because of the principal. I am glad to move on.

  I was told this school was great, and being in JC you would think so. It's not, It's a joke. My daughter was months ahead when she came here and was never ever anything but bored,

  I also am a single parent with children at Cherokee Elementary School and I too feel that if you are a single parent with children you are automatically singled out. I have two children there and I feel that it depends on the teacher as well as their perspective of different cultures. My daughter has had two wonderful teachers and my son had a great teacher last year. However, this year his teacher hasn't been that great and I feel degraded because my child is biracial and I raise my children alone. I have been referred to by the counselors at Cherokee. I feel that my children can't be children without being singled out. My children have a right to happiness and well-being without feeling secluded and degraded. Hopefully next year he will get a teacher with compassion and nurturing skills who doesn't differentiate. My children deserve to be individuals.
