Cumberland Elementary School

Posted January 30, 2008

My daughter is in kindergarten and she loves going to school and thinks great of her teacher. She says she wishes the school times were longer since it is fun to be at school. The teacher is excellent and the parents in the class are very involved. There are so many extracurricular activities done by parent volunteers every day of the week in the class. I couldn't have picked a better public school for elementary school. I give it a 5 Star.

The teaching varies with each teacher. There is no GATE program for more gifted kids or kids with higher abilities. Thus those kids get lazy and either forget what they have learned or have maintained the same skills that they had previously. They are definitely not challenged. The math could be improved on. The extra curricular activities are adequate but we could use more Physical Education. Parent Participation is sporadic. Some parents seem to do a lot, whiles others are not at all involved. Overall the school is average. The Principal seems like she is a good leader and there are hopes that the school would improve academically but it is far, far behind the nearby private schools.

The principal is a strong and caring leader. The PTA is well organized. My kids love their teachers and enjoy 'learning and beyond' at this school!

The school has an excellent PTA organization which provides great support for school as well as a sense of community (for those who takes the little bit of extra effort to seek it out). It's great to have full day Kindergarten, and to have separate play area for the K'ers. Teacher quality does vary, and curriculum should be more transparent to parents.
