We love Cary Woods!! No better way to start my child in school. My child loves school and his teacher. His teacher is absolutely wonderful and hope next year my other child receives her. My child is learning so much, while also having fun.

Cary Woods is an amazing elementary school! Teachers, staff, and parents all work together to ensure our children are well cared for and have every opportunity to grow and learn. Our son has thrived while transitioning into Kindergarten and the teachers made his first year a fun and memorable one. We are so grateful for this sweet neighborhood school and its staff! There's no place like it!!

Our children attended Cary Woods. The school has a few great teachers, but also has some not so great teachers. It was our experience that when we had serious concerns about a teacher, our very real concerns were dismissed.
