Once the current principal came in things went downhill fast. No holiday celebrations, no homework, no discipline and everything is to meet BSD bare minimum standards. Not sure how you learn math especially basics like multiplication and division without some basic form of practice. For a community that strives for more, the principal wants to just meet minimum standards even in spite of teachers protesting to go above and beyond for the kids. Lots of great teachers have left because of her. Even worst is the lack of ability to control IEP kids. No staffing which is not her fault but lack of awareness to raise issues to the district is on her. Incidents such as a boy punching a girl in the stomach in kindergarten, threats of gun violence, consistent bullying go basically unnoticed or at most a recess and half suspension even in situations when police are involved. There were times when the principal told students not to tell other students in school about a possible gun threat…even the parents weren’t notified! The district is no better as they are just waiting for something terrible to happen before making a change. Look for alternatives if private school is not an option till the current principal leaves the school.

The quality of teachers here is pretty inconsistent especially with parent-teacher communication. I've had teachers that do absolutely 0-barely any communication about what's going on in the class while other teachers in the same grade level do weekly communication and constantly post on see saw. Homework here is pretty much non-existent except for one Kindergarten teacher that gives optional assignments out for the advanced students. If your student is advanced and in the TAG program, keep your expectations real low since your child won't be getting much out of this program here. Don't be suprised when your child struggles in math in middle school.

The principal stands outside every morning to greet students as they are dropped off. He does this in 30 degree freezing rain or 72 degree sun. This tells you everything you need to know about how much this school cares about its students.

The worst school experience ever! The teachers and faculty are very rude and disrespectful. If you don't like the small town mentality and classless people, this school is not for you! They don't care what your child's needs are. They are more focused in on what's best for the child than on what's convenient or what works out best for the school and the teachers!

My daughter, who has a learning disability, recently began her fourth year at Cedar Mill. She absolutely loves it. The Principal (Mr. Horne) has gone out of his way to help guide our daughter through her challenging times. The Counselor (Ms. Blakeslee) is also fantastic and has provided our child with much needed support. All of the teachers she has had have been exceptional. I have seen my daughter grow exponentially academically and socially and credit the caring and knowledgeable Cedar Mill staff. This school is charming and community-centric - with carnivals, pancake breakfasts, and barbeques - and the families and kids are welcoming.

It all starts at the top and the Principal here is strongly devoted to the development of each child there. My Son's teacher really knows ho to push him beyond his age and do things more suited to his learning abilities.
