Horrible experience. No equity, no racial diversity.

The leadership in this school is outstanding, and are extremely patient with the children. My children have received top notch education at this school, as they hold the students to a higher standard than what is required. Both of my children have excelled in this school.

Our daughter has attended Cedar Fork since Kindergarten. She is currently in 3rd grade. We absolutely love the diversity of this school, both in the student body and the faculty/staff. The school is quite large, but we have felt our daughter has been supported and challenged most of the time. Academics are rigorous and teachers seem to do their best navigating the new Common Core, making opportunities for creative learning experiences when they are able. We have been very thankful for our daughter's experiences at Cedar Fork.

My Child came from India and joined this school in 1st grade. The environment, fluency in English everything is new for her. I take this opportunity to thank her class teacher Ca....., ESL teacher and all of them who had made my child very comfortable and i see a tremendous change with my daughter. To me the best school in Morrisville is CEDAR FORK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL who gives full attention to each and every child.

My 3rd child is now attending Cedar Fork and we could not be more pleased with the teaching quality. All teachers (except one who is no longer there) have been phenomenal. They have cared deeply about the kids in the class. Most of the teachers gave my kids opportunities for additional challenge and learning beyond the core class work. We have been thrilled with our kids' experience. I will make one important point, however, and that is that both my wife and I are VERY involved in the school and in our kids classes. We volunteer as often as possible, both in our kids individual classes and in other areas of the school. In general, parental involvement at Cedar Fork is amazing--much better than the school in Arizona where our oldest attended kindergarten--and there is a definite feeling of community.

My children attend this school and I am very pleased with their progress and the best part is the teachers are very dedicated and give their best to the students.

The review stating the principal concentrates on the students and parents' concerns as her first priority is the way all schools should be. This is the advantage that private schools have over public schools. A Teachers' focus has to be based on student success and they should find their fulfillment in this way. I lived in the Washington DC area for several years and moved to Montgomery County rather than Washington DC because DC's school system was run for the benefit of the teachers and school administrators---not the students. Washington DC had one of the highest expenditures/student in the U.S. with one of the lowest levels of student success. Teachers should have fulfilling careers but the focus of schools must be the success of the students.

I am disappointed to see that a negative review was deleted from this site recently. As a parent and a friend of a former teacher at this school, I have to say that the administrators at this school create a very poor working environment. The principal undermines the authority of the teachers on a regular basis, and is an absolute pushover when it comes to parent concerns/issues. She does not stand up for her teachers, and fails to support them through tough situations. The TEACHERS ARE FANTASTIC and the majority of the students are high achieving and hard working. Good place to be a student and parent, but BAD PLACE TO BE EMPLOYED!

This school is absolutely a gem! Super friendly staff and parents; wonderful caring and involved teachers. Both my kids have scored in the high 90s on their EOGs each year at this school. One of the few naturally diverse schools in Wake County. This school is like a big family and principal is so nuturing and supportive of all the students - she even remembers all their names!

The teachers are amazing, but the administration leaves a LOT to be desired! The principal tries only to be a parent pleaser without any regard what is logical and what is in the best interest of the children. The assistant principal is even worse, because he doesn't know what is going on half the time. This school would be a perfect ten if the leadership was changed! Teachers at Cedar Fork WANT to be creative and create vibrant and engaging lessons for all learners, but are constantly held back because of "what it might look like" to outsiders. The administration should stop trying to keep up with appearances, and start realizing the negative ramifications of their thoughtless actions.

My daughter studied in this school for a year and I am proud of her progress. She has shined in all the areas. The teacher is doing a great job. My daughter is happy to go to school. I was satisfied as a parent that my child was doing good. Only that they don't have many electives compared to other schools.
