Cambridge Lake Charter School

My children went here 2 yrs ago and we were very happy with the school. We had to move out of state for a year and thank goodness we are back. The teachers are very helpful and excited about teaching! The only thing that continues to be an issue is pick up but that's because some parents do not think that they have to follow the rules.

My daughter loves the school but I wish parents could have more involvement as far lunch menu. I have seen a lot waste done by the kids. Parents are paying without knowing that the kids are not eating their food. Fresh fruit should be cut for little kids and they should think about the type of sweets to be serve to the kindergarten group. I see a lot parents involved in the lunch but wish we could have some inputs as far having a better menu.

My child goes to Kindergarten @ CLCS. I have seen him mature so much in this one year. The teachers teach them the right attitude towards tough situations and great problem solving skills. Their Kindergarten program is so good. My child comes home with so much information that he amazes me sometimes. The best part is their individualized learning plans keeping in my that every child learns @ a different pace. The only drawback though that the school doesn't provide any transportation for the students and we live far from school. My overall experience with the school is excellent. Keep it up CLCS!

As a first time parent of Cambridge Lakes Charter School; I am glad that I decided to transfer my kids to this school. Both of my kids are learning excellent information, including the opportunity to explore different culture and language. In addition, the teachers focus each student and their unique learning curves; this is definitely appreciated, to support 'no student left behind'. I support the growth and continued success of Cambridge Lakes Charter School!

My son is nearing the end of his first year at Cambridge Lakes and I can not be happier with the education he has received this year. He has had a wonderful male kindergarten teacher that seems to have the patience of a saint! My child went in to kindergarten not knowing how to read but is coming out reading chapter books far beyond his years. I love the fact that the children receive individualized instruction based on their skill level and that they are learning material that I know for a fact, the other local schools are not teaching until 1st or 2nd grade. Yet, the atmosphere is not high pressure or elitest at all. For my son, this year has been a wonderful experience that has resulted in a very positive attitude towards school and learning in general. As a parent, I couldn't ask for more at this point. (Yes, the pick up and drop off situation is a mess, however, a small price to pay for a great education)

This school of choice has provided my three children with an excellent, individualized education, at an advanced level. We have been a Charter School family since it opened, and have watched it blossom towards its phenomenal mission. From the preschool through the middle school, I have watched students excel in this unique environment. As an active parent volunteer, I have had the opportunity to see the inner workings of the school, and am confident that my children's needs are addressed and met by a loving and dedicated staff. My children, far from slackers, are all performing at well above grade level. Those parents who take the time to be a part of the school community arequalified to dispell the rumors of disorganization, talent, leadership, and educational quality.

I am amazed at the rumors that some parents think they should share. My son has been at Cambridge Lakes Charter school since it opend. The first year was rough. The only thing that has stayed constent is the excellent staff of teachers. They are so talented and have such creative ways of making learning fun . My son has needed some help from time to time, and a teacher is always there, even after school. They all give so much to make sure my son is ready for his future.

I live on Cambridge Lakes and my wife and i are thinking of putting our soon to be 3 years old daughter here next year. However, after recent encounters, we are having second thoughts. I take my daughter for a bike ride during the weekdays in the late mornings and I noticed how the kids are playing so close to the road. REALLY? and to make things worse, the two teachers are sitting there on the lawn--yapping away. Cars had to stop to make sure the kids don't get on the street. It makes me wonder if the 4-5 start raters are staffs from the school.
