I have two kids who are studying @ Cherrywood. The bigger is in grade 4 and another is in kindergarden. Teachers are great including Mr. Davis Ms Rochi & Ms Martin. I like the school activities such as field trips music class and open house. However quality of education would be improved if more homeworks and more scientific projects are assigned to students. I appreciate if my suggestion is accepted.

I like being in Cherrrywood but some lunches are kind of cold oh and I am a student coming from a student's point of view I hated the past 6 years in that school and the worst year of all was second grade I had Ms.Murphy overall Cherrywood is kind of a good school so you should gring your kids here.

I am glad that my kids go to Cherrywood because teachers are great and hardworking like Ms. Murphy. Ms. Murphy is a one of a kind teacher I am just happy that my daughter is in her class.

This past year CW has become a CA Distinguished School! I truly enjoy teaching at this school. The staff is educated and caring. If anything I'd like to see more parent involvement and extracurricular activities.

This is our son's first year in public school. He transitioned from private to public school. At first we're not sure if this is a right choice. So far we are pleased with Cherrywood School's curriculum.
