Cedar Grove Middle School
I have had a great experience working with Cedar Grove Middle School faculty and staff. They are very proactive with preparing my kids for advance education. They are caring and show a genuine interest in their success. The Principal is a no nonsense leader who understand the school system and is very serious about having the right teachers on staff. I am very elated that CGMS has mady AYP for the third year and hope that they are awarded all the resources available to them as a result of their success. Our children and CGMS deserve equity in education.
