Cliffdale Elementary

Posted: December 4, 2025

A teacher here assaulted my daughter pushing a book into her chest and stomach. Nobody from the school not even the principal has reached out to me in regards of this matter. And not only that the teacher denied my daughter toiletries to use the bathroom so my daughter was soiled in her own poop until she got home from school. I wouldn’t let a dog go to this place to be taught anything let alone a child. Im highly disappointed in the school system in Cumberland county and it will soon be paid off after I seek legal counsel to sue. I would t dare allow this to go unheard of or have this teacher feel she has gotten away with what she put my child through after two weeks of just being a new student here.

i went to this school from 2nd -5th it did not encourage individuality and set many students back for not understanding while the teachers did not help or support the students it felt as they hated their jobs and the students attending this continues now as my little siblings attend this year.

Una de las mejores escuelas que mis hijos pudieron estar! Las maestras y todo el personal se comportaron a la altura, los muevo de escuela porque me mude del area pero hice todo lo posible a mi alcance para dejarlos en la misma escuela.

The school has improved from the previous reviews made.
The front office does amazing with implementing safety in regards to early pickups and information, always friendly. The guidance counselor is AMAZING, she’s phenomenal. The teachers have enthusiasm and show love for each child and seem to love the school and kids. My son was in kindergarten and LOVED his teacher and would actually ASK to go to school on WEEKENDS. He hated school at the beginning of year but always loved going.
You children will feel safe and loved by these teachers.
Only thing I wish would be improved is a speed bump in the parking lot, these parents go way too fast during morning drop offs.

Cliffdale Elementary School could be considered as on of the best Elementary Schools in Cumberland County. With an innovative principal and an amazing staff this school has given my child a great opportunity to be someone worthwhile in society. With a welcoming community where everyone is love and accepted there is no need not worry about the wellbeing of your child. My child stated at the Kindergarten level and successfully completed all grades up to 5th grade. I am proud of him and the entire staff at this school. I have no regrets.

There is bad communication between teachers and parents. One of the preschool teachers treats the kids like they are in boot camp and forgets they are only 5 years old. She is very rude as well. Also, the teachers may tell you one thing about your child and the progress report will reflect the opposite. The school is unorganized and pretty much a pain. I will definetly be sending my child to a different school next year.

my son was new to cliffdale elementary late in the ear from vance cty , and I am very dismayed at the punishment they give children , I believe it to be degrading to the child and not helpful with learning at all , I am completely done with his teacher who seems not to have any concern at all, communication is a bust and I would not recommend this school if I could chose this would not be his learning experience.

My grandson has recently moved to cliffdale elementary school, and he loves it he adapted very well. He is learning alot, the security is great there also. We are very well pleased with his teacher and his academic performance.

I had to move because this school was so bad I was worried for my kids safety. My daughter was assaulted in third grade by a much bigger boy in her class who was supposed to be in fifth grade in front of 6 teachers and none of them did anything. It was so bad I had to press charges and then the police dept. failed to follow through with the charges. This school is the worse school my children have ever been in. It is sad to say it will always be that way because the city of fayetteville cares more about over paying the police dept than paying any attention to the schools!!!!!
