Cedarville High School

I have a two children attending Cedarville. One is in special education. Both have gone to the school their entire school years. I also graduated from Cedarville. I find the teachers and staff exceptional!!!! I wish we had more money in our district to pay some of these teachers who care so much.

Very disapointed. Lots of drug use. Not structured. Kids roam halls. Children are not properly discipled according to the offense. Not stiff enough policy of drugs.

Cedarville is an amazing school. The teachers care and so do the students. If just enough of the parents cared as well, the school would be so better.

I am horrified at what some of these reviews say! Cedarville is an excellent school, I do not even live in this district anymore, however when my son starts kindergarten I will be sending him to Cedarville. They have a wonderful high school principal and great teachers. I called on my high shcool english teacher for advice while I was attending college. I had my ups and downs as a teenager (just as anyone does), but overall I loved attending Cedarville and would recommend it to everyone!

I'm not real happy at this time with quality of education my child is recieving I'm considering changing her to Van Buren or possibly a private school. It is sad when the school district you live in has this effect on the education of my child and I have to relocate my child so I can fell good about my childs future. The real world is tough & with the education from this school my child would not be ready. That makes my job as a parent twice as hard. I'm just glad I know I'm doing my part... & so should you... Befor we let another family down... as far as sports my child was in sports but once again I was diapointed in the quality of that as well.

I went to this school all my life it has its faults like being way to involved in sports and not involved enough in education, but overall it is a good school with some great teachers who care about these kids. And some who don't care at all. I think thats how it is at any school. Our parents need to be more involved in what goes on in the school and then some of this would probably change. We as parents can make a difference if we try. My daughter goes to Cedarville and I feel that she will receive a good education because I as her mother will make sure the teacher is doing there job and I as her parent am doing mine by being sure she is at school daily and her homework is done. Cedarville is not so Bad. I think I turned out Ok.

I would have to say from having gone to Cedarville, it was not a very memorable experience. Sports is too big deal, and places Education in second. I speak from personal experience. Also, there is no such thing as 'innocent until proven guilty' unless you were favored by some other teacher. Yes, faculity do pick their favorites. However I will say that the FFA is excellent, the Agri classes were very well taught. The English Department is superb, while unfortunately the Mathematics is rather lacking. As for the technology, such as E.A.S.T., it has fallen from an awesome learning environment to strictly learning the prgrams and winning. In conclusion, the school is heavily influenced with religion, and often times will ignore the Seperation of Church and State issue. The School Board is primarily to blame, wanting Harry Potter off the shelves as well as any other 'religious questionable material'.

As a former student of Cedarville High School, I do have to say that Cedarville has its problems. I went to the school from K-12 and as I got futher into school and got more into to sports and I noticed that if you didn't have money or have the right name then you was looked over. Cedarville School is a good school in its own little way, testing is one of the great things. My husband is from Alma and I am from Cedarville and our test scores are higher then theirs is but with a big school like Alma you have more colleges looking at you so if you are all about sports then go with a big school. If you are wanting a one on one with teachers-students then go with Cedarville.
