They really care about the kids, and work hard to ensure a tight knit community vibe. They seem to know everyone's names, and there are several events throughout the year that help build familiarity and positive experiences. Plus it's a great school with some truly inspirational educators. We. Love. Hawthorne!

As a graduate of Cle Elum Roslyn High School (c/o 2010), I feel the need to leave a review. Yes, I…read moreknow and understand that many changes can occur within a four year span, but why shouldn't I leave a constructive review? TEACHERS: Teachers can come and go, but you'll always have those instructors that have the ability to keep you on your toes in learning and teach in ways many others cannot. I encountered a couple of these teachers through this school district. My hats are off to those who make Cle Elum/Roslyn their home and work hard to educate the young men and women in the community. If I were to base my whole review on the teachers in the school district, I'd rate them 4 stars. ADMINISTRATION: As for the administration when I attended the school district, I would give them a two star rating. We did have a different principal back then, however, the district administration has remained. The people up in the admin office always tended to hold themselves above the teachers, and in my opinion, it was the teachers that made the difference in the community. They get 2 stars from me. SPORTS: Athletics at Cle Elum - Roslyn give the students an opportunity to do other things instead of getting into trouble. Baseball, softball, basketball, wrestling, volleyball, track and field, cross country, soccer, tennis, and football are all options to play. We've got some great coaches for how small of a school district we are. I would rate the athletics with a 4 star. FACILITIES: They just finished a revamp of the football field and "stadium"; it looks great. With that said, the high school is in dire need of a renovation. In 2007, the community voted on if a new high school should be built... It didn't pass and had a lower 50% approval rate. The community needs to realize that the young people who grow up in the area need to have a place of education where they are excited to come to. The facilities, at least in the high school, are in a 1 star condition. OVERALL OPPORTUNITY: In conclusion, the opportunities given in the Cle Elum - Roslyn school district can be rated at a 3 star. There are some clubs for students to join and there was Running Start being offered when I was attending. Not only the administration, but the Cle Elum/Roslyn community as well needs to come to terms with the fact that the more time and effort put into the young people's population, you'll see the drug use, crime rate and negative impacts decrease.

Our daughter attended CHA from kindergarten and will be completing 4th grade this year. The school…read morehas been incredibly supportive from the beginning. Each of her teachers from K-4 were engaged and provided regular feedback on matters related to academics, social, and well-being. We really enjoyed the school programs from performing arts, field trips, winter activities, and leadership opportunities. CHA also did a great job connecting parents and building a strong community with the school.

This school is so good! We have been with this school since 2016, and might I say, it is so good. I…read morelove how not only to they teach the kids to strive in academics, but they also encourage leadership using the 8 habits. I also love the staff, who teach and encourage the students daily. This year, my fifth grade daughter is graduating, and we are so sad to leave! Last of all, thank you to the Head of School, who made their Washington D.C trip so fun!

We've been at Brighton for five years after coming from public school, and our experience has been…read morewonderful. With 3 kids who have spanned the range if preschool, elementary, and middle school, I can say the middle school especially has exceeded expectations. Initially, I was nervous because of its smaller size, but it's been fabulous, the teachers embrace the middle school years while preparing students for real-world situations. We've had the honor of having both Ms. Shippers and Ms. Savage twice. Ms. Shippers has years of experience yet brings fresh enthusiasm every day, and Ms. Savage's connection with the kids is remarkable. Brighton truly offers a nurturing, dynamic environment we're so grateful for!

Brighton School is wonderful and we love it!!!!!…read more I've had my kids at Brighton for at least eleven years? I've lose count. My son attended Brighton from first through eighth grade and my daughter started in preschool and is now in sixth grade. My kids are completely different and they have both absolutely thrived at Brighton. Brighton does an awesome job of providing an excellent well-rounded education for many different types of learners and kids. Brighton offers an excellent academic program, but also offers an amazing drama program with Mr. DC, some great sports programs, after school extracurriculars, yearly overnight field trips that get longer with each grade level and culminate in a 10 day East Coast trip for the 8th graders, etc. The greatest asset to Brighton is its staff. Brighton attracts some truly talented, caring and highly invested staff and teachers. There are teachers at Brighton who have truly changed the course of my childrens' lives. Ms. (formerly Gabriel) Savage is my daughter's idol. Ms. Savage is the perfect role model for my child, as she is strong, confident, smart, kind and encouraging. My daughter is a gymnast and she has talked to my daughter about mental blocks. She is a great teacher but she clearly cares about her students in a way that goes beyond what her job requires. Her assistant Ms. Carrie is also so caring, patient and kind. Ms. Durbin is another teacher that made a real difference in my daughter's life. Ms. Durbin was like a second mother to my daughter, or my daughter's stand-in mother at school. My daughter has always had a ton of anxiety about overnight field trips, but knowing that Ms. Durbin would be on the field trip always made her feel better. Ms. Durbin knew when to be serious and get the class under control but could also be so silly and have fun with the class. Mr. DiLorenzo is another incredible asset to the Brighton community. Mr. D. was my child's third grade teacher, and he was an incredibly gifted educator then, and now he is the head of the middle school. Mr. D. can be so fun and silly with the kids, but he also knows when to be serious and address serious issues. My son had an awesome middle school experience at Brighton and during his years there built up a community of friends who carried over into the same high school. Ms. Livingston has been serving the Brighton middle school for years in various capacities and she is AMAZING!!!! She is currently teaching math and she is an awesome math teacher, but she also handles a lot of the administrative stuff for the middle school. She's very friendly, great with the kids, great with the parents, and easy to get along with. Ms. Bodnar, according to my 17 year old son, is "the GOAT" (greatest of all time). Ms. Bodnar teachers study skills and math (I think) but she connects with the kids in a way that few others do. My son emphatically thinks that she is the best teacher at Brighton. Ms. Thaler is also a great language arts teacher. She definitely knows what she is doing and I appreciate that she actually challenges the kids. This is Ms. Parks Lobbs' first year as Head of School, but she has been involved with other parts of the school for years and she appears to be 100% in charge of what is happening and in control of things. As a very long-time parent of Brighton who has observed three separate Heads of School, I think Ms. Parks Lobb is doing a great job. There are a lot of other amazing staff members at Brighton who I am going to forget to mention. We love Coach Matt, who is the kindest, funniest guy to have around. He always greets my daughter in the morning with the biggest smile and it makes me feel so good about dropping her off. He also love Coach Brandon, who has been there for years and is super well loved by all the kids. He made the summer camp a blast for my daughter. We really loved Ms. Becca, who is a former aide who is no longer there. We wish the school brought her back. My son had Ms. Schippers for both hers and his first year at Brighton (first grade) and she made him feel super welcome and safe. I don't remember the full names of my daughter's pre-K teacher and aide (the aide was Sarah) but they were both so amazing! Oh yeah, the parents, kids and community at Brighton are also awesome. Both my kids have made amazing friends and we have done all the playdates, the sleepovers, the skate nights (thanks, PTO!), all of it. My son has friends he literally made in FIRST GRADE and now are JUNIORS in high school and they are part of the same friend group and in some of the same advanced classes. My daughter and her best friends met years ago, some as far back as preschool. I've known those parents just as long. The parents are great and the PTO is currently thriving. I've never been involved in the PTO, but I am very, very grateful for the amazing parents who run it and all that they do. Best money we ever spent!

If I could change one thing, it would have to be the pick up situation. Maybe have different pick up times due to the extremely long lines. I've found a way around this though.

My son, a first grader, is improving across all measured skill sets and he TRULY ENJOYS being at school. I could write more and probably will once my thought are organized. I am not an educator but simply a proud parent and I am so pleased to see the level of the curriculum even at the elementary stage. The kids are tasked with complex art projects and reading assignments and the specialists have comprehensive teaching tools. My oldest being one of the "Covid" era kids didn't have any remote learning elements so I can't speak to that but I do know the school is incorporating technology skills appropriate to their age.

I love this elementary school. The teachers are really great & so is the staff…read more I drive from Puyallup to take my son to kindergarten here, that's how much I love it. He's learned so much from these teachers & they are so involved with each student, it's just nice to know how serious they take their jobs & how passionate they are about it as well. My son will keep attending this school even if I am going to have to drive him 30-40 minutes every day to get there.

Cashmere Middle School has a beautiful track and field open to the public during non-school hours…read more The distance one covers in four laps is provided by lane on a sign posted on the boundary fence. As a runner, this is a bit of a dream because I can run four laps in lane eight and know I ran 1.10 miles (distances are provided to 0.01 mile accuracy). In today's day and age where technology and electronics can be a bit glitchy, it is nice to have exact distances that are not open to fluctuations like a treadmill that miscounts distance. If one is super ambitious, they can even measure the distance(s) around the track by lane on their own, which is a fun exercise in measurement. The track and field has views of the middle school, high school, and some of the physical ridges nearby. Makes for lovely scenery while getting in some exercise. I suppose one downside could be the lack of shade around the track, this can be a big deal if it is a clear, sunny, and hot day in Cashmere.
