Cherry Chase Elementary School

I have been very disappointed with the curriculum, class size, communication about child progress/problems and the general behavior and respect that students have for each other. I started my daughter here in with the expectation that becasue the school had a 10/10 on this site as well as being a Blue Ribbon school, I would not have many issues with the education. I was wrong and now I am scrambing to find another school for my daughter for the next school year. Here are a couple of concrete examples of what I view as problems: 1) Almost no feedback - returning of HW or tests on regular basis. 2) Teahcers don't actually correct the HW, onl o only loo, to see if it was done. I have addressed these problems with the teacher, but there aree too many things that need correcting. Overall I am not impressed with the school.

A wonderful school, great family community that is as diverse as the area in which we live. Wonderful and enriching offering of after school programs, in school PTA programs as well as fun family centered activities. International Night, the Fall Festival - Halloween event, and a great Walk-a-thon are just a few. Dedicated parents and some totally absent parents (same as anywhere).

I absolutely love Cherry Chase!!! The teachers, students, and parent volunteers are very kind and easy to talk to. All my teachers always help their students and respect them. The school's principal is a great leader and organizes school activities nicely.

Cherry Chase Elementary is a wonderfully diverse school that focuses not just on scholastic achievement but also on building character and giving students a breadth of unique experiences that range from building gardens and playing chess to learning about art and music. Their swelling population and rising API scores (over 940!) are a testament to their dedication and strong community support.

Very frustrated about this school. It is suitable for kids prepared academically. Don't expect much help if your kid need additional instructional time or personal attention.

Our child has been here for a year and loves the school. It is a nurturing environment with a diverse student body and a high level of parent involvement. The teachers work hard to foster a love of learning in the students. Music and art programs are not very strong at this point and we hope the PTA is able to fund such extracurricular programs.

The teachers we have had were caring and focused on teaching. The teachers seem to have a clear understanding of the material they need to cover and what the students needed to learn during their school year. The staff/teachers at the school appear to have good communication with each other and the teachers seem to support and cross train each other to pass along good teaching concepts. Parent involvement is high, school events that the PTA organizes are fun and well attended. We are very happy with the school so far.
