We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Cedar middle school is where I began exploring my interests for my future. I loved that the staff created a small community for students to enjoy. Teachers gave appropriate work and always taught lessons very creative by playing games. I was a part of one club and it was a good time because I felt safe and I was allowed to express myself.

Bullying is handled very well here and it is almost a completely bully free campus. This school is very safe and i know I will be protected when I walk on campus.

I am extremely happy with Cedar! Everyone from this school has always been kind & greet you with a smile on their face. Everyone is always in a great mood & that is contagious and feeds off our children. My son has always came home happy about his day & goes on to tell me about his day. I can count...

Please get rid of square dancing, like I’m really not sure why the kids have to do weeks of square dancing, for what, it’s literally the worst part of his day, he’s miserable and says he will never be the same man he was before they made him square dance.
