Cubberley K-8 School

We have 2 daughters at Cubberley and have found that it is a nice and supportive environment that also maintains very high standards (and similar high expectations of its students academically). Sure, we all miss Mr. Navia, the last Principal, but the culture here is strong and aside from a few 'quit but forgot to leave' teachers that one is likely to find anywhere, the quality of the teaching staff is very high. Kudos to probably the best teacher we've ever met, Mr. Heath (6th Grade Accelerated)!

I also attended the open house and I was really disappointed with the way they handled things. The school counseler was the only one to speak. The princiaple didnt say anything. They have too many excuses for why they do things differently then the only schools. EX: kinder is only part day because they found that the kids learn just as much in a short day than they do a long day. But, they have only 15 mins to be kids. The rest of the day is work work work for these kids. Oh and there 15 mins of (PE is what they said) is organized play. The kinders are in groups by color and they are ASSIGNED to activity. They do not have free choice. REASON: we were told because if they are not assigned they get bored and end up doing nothing. NOT IMPRESSED!!

If I could give Cubberly less than 1 star I would. I was so dissapointed with Cubberly. I felt my son was in no way prepared for High School when he left here. We loved the science teacher, but the rest of the staff left alot to be desired. Too many fundraisers, and not all the students get to participate in what they are raising money for. My child was there middle school and never got to have a single elective.

I just attended the Open House today at Cubberly and I am extremely pleased with this school. I am hoping to enroll my son in September and I am debating whether to enroll him at our home school which is Cubberly or persuing another amazing school (Patrick Henry) with a dual immersion Spanish program. Very tough choice. Both schools seem pretty fantastic. I would appreciate hearing from other parents on these two schools.

All 3 of my children have attended Cubberley. The teachers and staff are always helpful and accommodating. Even though all 3 kids were at different levels, they were placed into appropriate classes. Many wonderful memories were made here. I recommend it highly!

My daughter is a kindergartener at Cubberley, and she's had a great year. I like how well-rounded the curriculum is. The kids get the basics, but also do art and science projects. There are many dedicated parent volunteers, and older kids also volunteer in the classroom. My only complaint is that it seems like all the fund-raisers and special events involve junk food.

All the staff care about your childs education. Teachers are always in contact with you by phone or email for good or bad news. They say that the bad news run faster then good news but not in this school.

The successful environment that the students at Cubberley participate in, is a direct correlation from the hard work and dedication the teachers provide for their students. My child has been attending Cubberley since the 1st grade, and there is no other school I would want for her. She has been provided the top educational experience and has grown academically and socially while attending this school site. The are teachers committed to the overall educational growth of their students. As an educator myself, I have continued to watch their state test scores increase annually. Additionally, with Cubberley being a K-8 campus, I believe that the transition will be a fantastic one for all students. I want to take a moment to personally thank the entire staff for not only ensuring that my child has received a quality education, but the entire student body has as well. Great Job Cubberley!

This month, our school received the very prestigious Pyramid Award for the fifth consecutive year! We received this award for meeting all of our academic growth targets along with API goals and the Annual Yearly Progress goals! Our current API score is 873, a 28-point gain from last year!! Our students are learning and the staff is working hard to meet all of our standards.

Cubberley is an excellent school! I have never met a more dedicated group of teachers and staff. EVERYONE is concerned about students and never hesitate to provide their resources, time, and expertise to help students achieve academic success. I feel very fortunate to be a part of this 'Cubberley Family.'
