Cranberry Elementary School

Posted October 3, 2009

The teachers/staff make sure each child feels special by knowing names, asking questions,expecting respect,readiness. It is an'A' school. My child looks forward to going daily.

My son has attended Cranberry for 2yrs. now. I have been very happy with the way Mrs.Daniels runs her school. Being a block mom I can tell you the children love Mr.Carey. I think the uniforms are great because it teaches our children respect for the way they look, even if it's not what they wear normally. I think that with more parent involvement the school would be if not close to the top in the state. If I had a complaint it would be over lack of parental support aswell as showing respect to the rules and dropping their children off and picking them up properly. What is that teaching our children? As for the teachers,there will always be a bad apple in a bunch but we have been lucky to have had the best.

Cranberry is one of the best schools I have ever seen. I am very surprised by some negative comments about extra curricular activities and being invited to school. This school goes above and beyond in communication. We get phone calls, newsletters, and invitaions all the time in our child's agenda. The teachers are top notch. Almost all of them have at least a master's degree with many more having higher degrees. There are many who are Nationally certified as well. Yes, there is a focus on FCAT, but it's not crammed down their throat. The administration is the best. I like the high expectations, especially in fourth grade. My children have not only learned many academic things, but problem solving and social issues as well. My kids are better people because of this school. Sometimes it's hard to hear the truth about your child, but these teachers are here to help.

ok.....we just moved here from Ma and I have to say I am extremely happy with Cranberry so far. Parent involvement? Let me tell you something, I was never invited to have lunch with my child or invited to the book fair in Ma. My daughter who entered first grade 3/4 of the way through is excelling and comes home happy every day. In Ma she was miserable and her teachers were always complaining about her. Here she has been touted for being so polite and well behaved. Her reading has already improved by at least 20%. I have no problems with the uniform as she never has to worry about looking like she is 'poorer' then the other children when she's not wearing $100 pants.
