Cambridge Lake Charter School
I have a 5 year old daughter in Kindergarten. I am VERY pleased with her school. She started in preschool. She had a teacher and a teacher's aid during her half day. There were about 15 children in her class. Now that she is in kindergarten she goes a full day. They have gym, music and art which I know NONE of the schools in our district have. They are also teaching them spanish! There is a GREAT sense of community involvement in the school and that is evident in the parent classes they and the family fun activities they offer outside of class time.

Star: It has only been opened for one year, some parents encountered problems with administration. Nevertheless, many of US had none. Year two is right around the corner and things are looking very positive. Teachers are extatic about the new year, and they are much more organized.
