Cherry Drive Elementary School

We have had or son and now our daughter attend Cherry Drive from 1st through 5th grades. As parents we could not be happier with our kids education, the administration and base program! Our children loved this school, their teachers, custodians, office staff and administration have all been friendly, available and shown a propensity to give all they can for their students. The people who work at this school are invested in the children and year after year our kids have loved their teachers. A big thank you to everyone at Cherry Drive from our family , we will definitly remember our time spent at Cherry Drive fondly.Jeremy and Heather Goggin

Both of my children have been at Cherry Drive from 1st through 5th grade. Every teacher has been dedicated to their students and very responsive to my children's needs. The office staff is great, the teaching staff is great, and the support staff is great!

Students and teachers at Cherry Drive are very happy. My fifth grade student had the best year ever and it was because of the teamwork of the fifth grade team and Mrs. Hepp. Also, my 2nd grade student also had a fantastic year because of her teacher. I know a lot of teachers left, I don't care why, I'm glad that the teachers that are there truly care about the needs of all students. My child had some issues with bullying and it was taken care of swiftly. I would recommend this school to anyone who asks!

The lack of communication at the school leads to frustration and anger. Most teachers do not keep parents updated or send emails. Their answer to questions is- check the website. The school has a bully problem, but sweeps it under the rug. The front desk staff is only nice to parents if they know and/or like you. Otherwise, they do not look up or acknowledge you. The District has to have noticed that our entire 1st Grade team of teachers, plus one 3rd grade teacher (with over 13 years teaching at the school) and another 4th grade teacher (also 10 + years teaching at the school) ALL left at the end of last year. There HAD to be a reason! Many families also choiced out. Why? Also take note- so many families have choiced out for next year, that nearby schools, such as Skyview, are now full, due to Cherry Drive students leaving Cherry Drive. Look at the scores and talk to community members before enrolling here. Principal Hepp is your friend until you need something or your child is bullied. Ask about the enrollment numbers. They are very low. Also, be aware this school is on an improvement plan. If your child has an I.E.P., be sure to talk to other parents here, Principal Hepp is NOT on your side, get an advocate!
