Cliffdale Elementary School

My child is enrolled in this school and I am far from impressed! The teacher-parent communication level needs to be address and the parking lot supervisor is not nice. My child transferred into this school late in the year and will be transferred out. I have had nothing but problems. I am sorry but at this point I have nothing positive to say! If we weren't moving... I'd homeschool!

This school needs better rules set up for the bus drivers and times for bus stops. They seem to be at a bus stop whenever they want whether it be 15 minutes early or 15 minutes late and there is no way of ever knowing. It is a very long walk to the bus stop from our home and this makes it extremely difficult to know when to be there waiting. I was warned about the buses but went ahead and let my daughter ride them anyway. Big Mistake! If your going to enroll your children in this school do what you can to avoid the bus.

My daughter attended Cliffdale for kindergarten and 1/4 of first grade. In kindergarten she had a wonderful teacher. BUT--- she was picked on because of her race and size. Cliffdale is a very prejudiced school and is short on diversity. She was the only white child in her kindergarten class and the only white girl in her first grade. I found the reactions to this despicable. There were plenty of classes with good diversity, but for some reason mine was singled out for two years to be teased and ridiculed especially by the boys. Was not impressed and happy now that we've moved to Stoney Point area!

I am a parent of a child that has been attending this school for 3 years and I think this is an excellent school. I only wished that there was more extra curricular activities for the children. The level of parent involvement is fair

this school does not look out for the children the teachers do not keep parents informed no matter how much you are involved they will tell you your child is doing good then you get a progress or report card and it is failing.

This is a great school. My daughter is currently attending pre-k and she really is learning a lot. The teachers and staff are very friendly and the security there is great!

Cliffdale is a great school. Pleased and surprised at how much and what our children have learned. The office staff is always so nice especially Mrs. Cherry! The only thing that I would ask for is a free dress day every now and then for students. At least once after each grading period. Maybe as an incentive for honor roll including good conduct. With the free dress day that was just given, my children as well as others in the neighborhood looked forward to it as well as the parents.

Cliffdale is a great school, I would recommend this school to any elementry level student. However, I feel that it needs more extracurricular activites available to the children, such as school plays.

Cliffdale has good security and the staff is very nice but many of the children are loud and undisciplined. The classrooms are small and crowded. My son attended kindergarten there and had we not moved, I would have either home schooled him or moved him to another school.
