Small classrooms, great and caring staff! This is a wonderful school in a large school district.

I would rate this school a three due to large class sizes.

Kidstop - Terrible program. The staff needs better training. The staff disregards the kids to be social vs. doing their jobs. The program claims to be educational, but my child either colored, gym time or computer lab to play games. One improvement the program could use is creating a homework club where kids can have time to complete their homework and get help. Nope...the staff is not interested in working with the kids...only interested in gossiping and avoiding the kids. Sad.

I've been extremely disappointed with Cedar Island. They spend more time dealing with behavior issues, than teaching. My son was bored a lot and not challenged. As a parent volunteer, i was appalled by the way his teacher behaved. The before and after school program is filled with people who seem to prefer to socialize rather than interact with the children.

Hello. I am in my 5th year as Cedar Island's princpal. I am proud to serve this school community. One of our great strengths is parent involvement. We have parents volunteering daily at Cedar Island. Parents help by working with children on their curriculum, doing clerical work for teachers and organizing school social and fundraising events. Cedar Island regularly has test scores above state and district averages. We have a gifted and talented program for students who qualify and have a full service special education program. We also have programming for children with developmental and cognitive disabilities. Our facility underwent updating in the summer of 2004. Our hallways were brightened with new lighting, we have all new windows and air conditioning. This year, 2007-2008, we have a reading incentive program called Bobcats Read! Our goal is to read a total of 1 million minutes. Children have certificates for reaching different goals such as our '1000 minute' monthly reading club. We also participate in the Reading is Fundamental program. Children get to pick out 3 books during the year to keep - free of charge. I encourage families who are researching schools to check us out and get a tour.
