As a parent of two children attending Cathcart, I've been consistently impressed with the school's commitment to nurturing a holistic learning environment. The school stands out for several reasons, making it an excellent choice for primary education:Academic Excellence: The academic curriculum is well-structured, catering to diverse learning styles and abilities. The teachers implement engaging teaching methods, making lessons both informative and enjoyable. My children have shown remarkable progress in various subjects, a testament to the school's dedication to academic excellence.Supportive Teachers: The teachers at Cathcart are incredibly supportive and approachable. They go above and beyond to ensure each student receives personalized attention and assistance when needed. Their commitment to the students' success is truly commendable. My son has a speech delay and the staff and teachers are patient and kind with him.Extracurricular Activities: The school offers a wide range of extracurricular activities, from sports to arts and music programs. These activities not only complement the academic curriculum but also help students develop diverse skills and interests. My kids have benefited greatly from these opportunities.Safe and Welcoming Environment: Safety is a top priority at Cathcart. The school maintains strict safety protocols, creating a secure environment for all students. Additionally, the staff fosters a welcoming atmosphere, ensuring that every child feels included and valued.Community Involvement: The school encourages parental involvement and community engagement through events and volunteering. They frequently organize activities that involve parents, creating a strong bond between the school, families, and the community.In summary, Cathcart is an outstanding educational institution that excels in providing a well-rounded education. It's a place where students not only learn academically but also grow personally and socially. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent seeking a nurturing and academically enriching environment for their children.

We moved to Snohomish 5 years ago and have been in Cathcart Elementary for the last 3 years. We have found the experience to be extremely positive for our children and have enjoyed the supportive community. The faculty and school leadership has shown a great handle on our children's education and communicates in a way that is positive and assist in their growth. Our family would strongly recommend the school.

We moved to the Snohomish School District, and specifically to Cathcart for its awesome elementary school. The facility might not be fancy but don't let that fool you. You will find nothing but the very best in education. It begins with the best of the best in Principals as the leader of the school. Both of our children have flourished tremendously. They feel loved, empowered, challenged and most of all always safe.

I have had kids at this school for the last 15 years. While this school went through some really rough times the new administration at Cathcart has turned this school around into the amazing school is has been in the past. The community involvement in this school only benefits the children, staff and family feel. I am proud that my children attend Cathcart and know they have been given a great start with individualized attention to each of their different needs.

Community feel, great teachers, principal who really cares. Moving districts from a "highly ranked", very sought after district to Snohomish, I am incredibly pleased. Do not miss a thing about our old school, where my child was just a number since she was not in the PACE or FSA programs. Cathcart feels like what elementary school should be.

Cathcart is a wonderful place for elementary children to grow and learn academically as well as socially. The teachers, office staff, lunch and custodial staff all ooze care and concern for the students at Cathcart. My husband and I currently have two children in this school and can only say great things about it. The principal is top notch. Not only does he possess great leadership qualities to move the school higher in goals, but he also has his priorities right when it comes to being a part of the students' lives. I wish my two older children would have had the opportunity to be Cathcart students. The community of parents who volunteer in so many different aspects is a definite plus as well. I am on campus every day, and every day, there are parents volunteering in one aspect or another. This parent involvement makes our school feel like our family.

We moved here almost 2 years ago and absolutely love the school and the community. The teachers are very friendly and have really helped my daughter become a much better reader. The office staff is really friendly and helpful also!

I have volunteered here for the past 3 years. I find the staff efficient and caring of the children. The children enjoy learning in the class that I participate with and spend their time productively. Kudos to the teacher and certified employees who work directly with the students.
