We absolutely LOVE Cherry Park! My son has been a student there for the past three years. When we moved here it was a huge transition for us in a lot of ways. My son had been struggling with reading and some behavior challenges since Pre-K, and was on the brink of getting an IEP at the last school we were in. The teachers, staff, and incredible principal Kate Barker are so supportive, kind, patient, encouraging and my son has absolutely flourished! Special shoutouts go to the guidance counselor Ms Pelegri, the music teacher Mrs Wray, the librarian Ms Allen, Mrs O'Brien, Mr Spooner, and Mr Seger. He is reading, persevering, and absolutely LOVES school, as in, he can't wait for summer vacations to end. We hit the jackpot with Cherry Park and I'm immeasurably thankful! Close Quote

So far it's been an awesome school for my 6 year old. I wish it was ranked better though. Most parents and teachers seem truly happy. I really enjoy the no home work rule. And if you need anything they are willing to do whatever it takes to help you. Mrs Barker is an awesome principal. I wish my sin could go there forever. Close Quote
