Cherokee Point Elementary School Reviews

I LOVE teaching at Cherokee Point Elementary! Although we are an inner city, Title 1 school, and have low income students, our parents and kids are THE BEST! Parents and students willingly come to Saturday classes to improve their English and academics. We offer inter-sessions on every extended holiday period to help children succeed, as well. Our school WAS in program improvement but has made great gains on our test scores and is now OUT of P.I. Our principal is so community minded that the City of San Diego proclaimed a special Principal Higa Day, just for him! Our school is BIG on the MUSIC and we have lots of performances and all children learn general music, in addition to upper grade band & orchestra. Vote for Cherokee Point- a bright spot in the city of San Diego!
