My daughter just graduated from CEE and it is such a loss to find another school that can meet the social, personal, and academic needs of my child. I had the opportunity to teach at this school for two yrs, I only left, because i was seeking full-time employment(my position only required a pt time teacher). The kindness, love, and personal academic attention given to each and every student at CEE is amazing. My husband repeatedly points out, "there is no other school, where the principal greets parents and children at the doow". All schools have good and bad, but this school is truly, mostly all good.

After the economy forced out of our private school we were forced to make changes in where our children went to school. We made CEE our choice and have never regretted it! The Middle school is wonderful, the new teachers have a fresh and innovated approach to their teaching and my daughter is more challenged than when she was in her private school. The staff is great and if you have any concerns at all they are quick to address it and handle it and are never rude. I'm very glad we made the change and have and will continue to reccomend CEE to other parents. All three of my children love it there and will stay there until they finish 8th grade.

CEE has a good elementary school with good teachers and wonderfull adminstrative staff. However, the middle school is another story with the change of the current staff. Most of the teachers this year are inexperienced. The curriculum is not challenging enough. I personally would enroll my children in a better middle school in order to be be prepared for high school.

My children have just begun at CEE and we are so thrilled with everything about the school. My children feel safe secure and part of the "CEE family". The principal greets each child daily!! The teachers have assessed and placed my children in challenging curriculum and we are looking forward to the many school activities planned for the year!

I'm positive the review regarding non certified teachers and cussing is based on the wrong school. CEE has the most caring teachers and administration that exemplify the highest standards in professionalism, integrity and positive moral values. Sad to think that there might be a school out there so negative!

I am shocked at the comments below! The teachers at CEE are highly qualified, certified teachers and most have their master degrees. I have worked at other schools and nothing compares to the community we have here at CEE. We are excited to welcome a few new teachers to our community; two who hold master degrees. Our expanding programs are top notch! We teach the standards and beyond; which includes color combination and light and sound.
