If your child uses the bathroom that gives any teacher the right to stand behind them! Wouldn’t recommend whatsoever

This School unfortunately struggles with racism in its staff and has affected countless students off color who attend. This is not a safe space for developing and learning children.

Our experience with Cedar Fork has been amazing. The staff is welcoming and the teachers care.
