Absolutely not. The teachers are the bullies. If your not from this town. Run. Far.

When you bring something to the principal's attention you get a canned response, with no resolution.

Absolutely not. Instead they get punished and pushed to the side.

They teach the children to lie, and wait for the answer they want to hear. Bullying is a major problem in this school. With the teachers being the bullies!

Only one worksheet each weekend. No communication with teachers on what child is needing academicly

Absolutely not. Everyone in this school is going through the motions. Teachers, staff, and principal.

Absolutely horrible. A complete joke. There is no school spirit. They don't want parent envolvment, and the principal is in way over her head, and has no cloyt over the teachers at all. Run.

I'm starting to agree with the whole "Cliques" thing. We are new to the area and thought this was wonderful, a small school with more one on one for the kids. This is sad, I hope that these issues can be resolved in a professional timely manner and save the aggravation of me going higher. I was hesitant when I read the reviews on the school when we moved here but I strongly believe everyone has their own opinion and is entitled to it. Teachers are there to educated, encourage and create a safe learning environment. Of course I don't know all the teachers in this school, unfortunately I must give the teacher quality 1 star by the experience we've had so far.

I am very pleased with this school. It is rare in this day and age that a child gets to experience going to such a small school. Everyone knows everyone and looks out for each other. Small class sizes so children get a lot of attention.

I could not agree more with the review about "Cliques". We decided to commute out of town so that our children could have a smaller school with a lower student to teacher ratio. I am so so very disappointed in the teachers that my children have had so far. The principal is beyond GREAT. I just wish I could say the same about the teachers. Instead of focusing on children who might need the help or praise, they focus it on the children who's families they know! I wish the teachers could show as much passion for teaching and helping children as the principal does. It is a shame.

This school is plagued by exceedingly cliquey parents and teachers. If you are friends with or are related to the teachers, your child will shine. If you are moving here and don't know anyone, your child will be treated like second-class citizen and stuffed in a corner. The current principal is the only good thing about Cape Elementary. Deny it all you want, but the 'core families' drive all new families away from what should be a great small-town experience.

I am appalled that you have a negative review posted for this school. I am therefore compelled to counter that posting. It has excellent student test results and a caring staff. It's small size affords the opportunity for each and every child to be heard and nutured. By the way, the current Principal is GREAT!!
