My youngest son attended Cedar Lee Middile school and simply put, it was a very disappointing and frustrating experience for him and his parents. Mr. Parker as a principal seems to be fairly oblivious to what goes on in his building as he has teachers (6th grade math) who do not follow county pacing guides allowing for poor results on SOL's test. Unprofessional e mails have been sent by teachers (7th grade Civics) along with grading practices that do not accurately reflect what the student is doing in class. My oldest son attended Taylor Middle school and there is simply no comparison. Cedar Lee was a major disappointment

I didn't like the principal very much, but the teachers were amazing when I was there. Sure I came to school later into the year, the teachers helped me catch up. The elective teachers are just as amazing as the core teachers.

As a parent of a child who has attended Cedar Lee for 2 years I can honestly say my husband and I are both are disappointed in the school. Our original impression of the Principal was a good one, but after walking in hearing him yelling at the front of the cafeteria one day that has changed. There are some wonderful teachers at this school who truly care about the children, but there are some who do the bare minimum, don't respond to calls and yell at the children. The site is not updated and often calls and emails are not responded to. My son, who is smaller then the other children, has been beaten up repeatedly (on the record). On the advice of his psychologist we will be homeschooling our son next school year or 8th grade.

I love my school. Even though I do not like the principal that much... I love the teachers like Mr. Almarode, Mrs. Davis, Mr. Bern, Mrs. Woods, Mrs. McCluskey, Mr. Harris, Mrs. Rossell, Mrs. Harvel & Mr. Lee (The assistant principal.) Our school is really fun & our teachers are amazing, but we still learn. I wouldn't want our school any other way.

CLMS is a great school! No only in the classroom but in other activities as well! The kids have coaches that not only give them confidence but help them as players too. Also other activities like the NJHS the SCA and the FFA are a great way to get the students involved! The number of activities to do after school grows every year! it really gives the students some thing to look forward too!! Cedar Lee Middle School is a great school!!!

Cedar Lee has been nothing but Grrrrreat!!! I love my sons teachers, The Principal, and especially Mr.Harris and Mr.Dodson, the football coaches... They have built his self-esteem and taught him to stay driven... I am sooooo happy with the level of discipline that is expected in Cedar Lees Football program. What a spirited school!! The principal is just #1. Soooo enthusiastic about all of the children, and it was great to see him after school at the football game and supporting the NJHS. So far I absolutely LOVE Cedar Lee.

Cedar Lee was a big disappointment for my family. My son was GT and placed in remedial classes. I had to come in and push for my son to get into GT courses where he should have been from the beginning. Acadmenics should be #1, not sports.

Maybe a bit crowded, but Mr. Parker maintains his school well! He keeps the children interested in school, he goes above and beyond most principals by becomming involved with the children's extra curricular activities and by maintaining some form of an appropriate principal/student relationship with all students!

Cedar Lee is the most overcrowded school in the county. It contains close 700 students while the other county schools have 350 or less. A lot of special education classrooms are located at Cedar Lee which makes the test scores look lower but the students are coming in to the school at lower levels with lower ability. The teachers work hard and the new principal is promoting a lot of parental involvement. I think that my child is getting as good of an education as he can but the class size is huge (28,29,30 to a classroom)
