I am very happy with CUSD. I currently have 2 girls in the district and a third is on her way in about 4 years. My wife works for the district as well. The teachers and staff are all wonderful and always on top of the kids performance and social interaction. The administration treats the teachers well and is always willing to help with any issues. My girls love going to school everyday. I remember kids dreading school when I was a student. Thank you all teachers and staff. Keep on giving our children the tools they need to succeed.
I have 3 students in River school. There are a handful of great teachers that really know how to teach and care about their students , some mediocre and just want cute rooms and some that actually lowered my children’s self-esteem. Many teachers gossip about parents and children to other parents. I’ve witnessed “recruiting “ where teachers tell parents or even kids to ask to be in their class. Bullying is a huge issue here and has been since my now 5th grader started. Some teachers add to it with blatant favoritism. And diversity is lacking, although that’s due to the town as a whole, not the school’s fault.
Some positives- there are tons of clubs, an amazing music program, actual PE teachers, and the school is on a beautiful location (although the buildings need major updating). There’s a gorgeous garden with a teacher. And if you can find your niche, you’ll enjoy the parent community.

I have three sons who are currently attending high school in this district.
Overall the teachers are outstanding and very dedicated. Moreover, during these challenging times they have kept their students on academic pace as well as provided individual assistance with navigating new platforms and protocols.
My only critique is that the high school culture seems to address the polar extremes of high achievers and special needs students quite well but has a difficult time average students.
