Have a daughter in 4th grade. Her teacher is always absent. There is NEVER homework-only for the children to study spelling words, basic math facts, and read each night. This teaches children to be lazy and does not prepare them for 5th grade at Cooper. So disappointed. Teachers have websites on the Cleveland page but, they aren't used. Such a waste of a great resource. Very disappointed. Close Quote

Good school and good atmosphere. The Principal and teachers work hard with every student. Student to teacher ratio is much higher than represented here. Closer to 24 kids per teacher. That would be the only drawback. Other than that, my kid enjoys Cleveland and so far we have had a promising experience. Close Quote
