Cambridge Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-06-16 “Cambridge is an amazing school. Our son came here for 3rd grade from an ISAS private school and this school is light-years ahead than anything his old school had. Wonderful, caring teachers. Outstanding fine art department - the annual family art night is an amazing event & the afterschool music program is just fabulous. The librarians worked up a summer reading list for our son tailored to his interest & needs. The dyslexia program is 5++ stars - Mrs. Dolan you are a treasure! There is limited teaching to TAKS needed because the students know the work already. Students are happy at this school and it shows.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-11-22 “Cambridge has seen an enrollment increase due in part to its emphasis on enrichment opportunities including a four year Spanish immersion program, strong after school opportunities including gymnastics, cooking, chess, pottery etc, and an emphasis on technology integration. Over half the teaching staff have a Masters degree and the partnership between parents, administration, teachers and students is terrific. It has a small town feel in an urban setting. The new principal is doing a great job of bringing in the best talent and maintaining excellence as many veteran teachers approach retirement.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-09-18 “Have several kids enrolled here for years. It is not as good as it use to be. The few old teachers that remain are pulling the load for the weak green teachers that have been recently added. This use to be the best school in SA, no now. My child TAKS scores dropped last year even though she made all 'A's.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-09-04 “My son is currently in third grade & daughter in first grade at this school. I LOVE it. Unfortunately we are moving, hence the looking around on this website. Cambridge is a wonderful neighborhood school with excellent parent involvement (PTO, library volunteers, field trips, etc.) Many families walk to school. The faculty is concerned with safety and communicates well with the parents on all issues. We have a new principal & new VP this year, plus about 19 new teachers - everyone seems pretty happy with the new additions & changes so far. PTO runs a fantastic after school program. (gymnastics, fencing, cooking, chess, football, spanish, etc) I will be VERY sad to leave.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-06-06 “My daughter just completed the first grade at Cambridge and she had a wonderful experience. The school has a small town very personal atmosphere. It is an academically rigorous school with a very bright student population as well as very developed art and music programs. The teachers are all fantastic and very experienced. Even thought it is a a public school it almost feels like a private institution, perhaps becasue of its relatively small size and that most students live within a few miles from the school. The parents are very involvd in the school and this really makes a difference in terms of special events such as family art nights, etc. Cambridge is truly a unique and special place.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-05-30 “My daughter has attended Cambridge for two years. We came to it from a private school in Los Angeles and have been consistently pleased with the quality of the education and the warmth of the teachers -- I consider a warm student-teacher relationship important to the learning process. Although there is some 'teaching to the TAKS test', Cambridge has the high-caliber student body and resources to go far beyond. The fourth grade put on a musical whose professionalism astounded me. The arts program is highly valued and the evidence is all over the school's walls. The library is enormous and, despite the size of the school, the librarian is able to recommend books for each individual student. The administration is highly responsive. All in all, Cambridge combines academics with varied and creative approaches to learning.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2005-10-05 “Great school, dedicated teachers. Lots of parent involvement.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-09-28 “This school may be inner - city san antonio but, it has rural qualities. The staff and teachers are fantastic and they do there absolute best to find out all about your child; as well as, how to help your child to have a wonderful and progressive year. I am sad to have to leave but, hopefully I will return the following year and my child will again attend this alamo heights school district of san antonio, texas.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-09-18 “i am amazed at the level of education. The amount of national honor society awarded through this district are high.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-07-06 “We have been very happy at this school. They provide a good environment and involved teachers. In our classes, the teachers have commented that their are virtually no discipline problems. Teachers a excellent and have a variety of experience, from recent grads to 20 years of teaching. They have good programs, GT, spanish immursion, reading, music, and after school enrichment classes. The school seems to be a little of a throw back to the 1950's - which is good. The school is within walking distance for most people and is in the center of the neighborhood. This is a school where most teachers and administration will know your child's name and yours. Other parents look out for your children as well as their own. Parents are welcome at any time and there are several opportunities to get involved. PTA is very active. Parents in this school put education as a high priority.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2003-08-03 “its the greatest school! we especially like the heights program and the heights teachers,ms hansel and ms veasy. -emily”
