Since 1989, Cherry Tree Elementary School has been preparing students to “Experience excellence…Explore opportunities…Realize potential.” This vision statement can be seen in the quality academics, holistic learning classes, early childhood center and “A Rating” from the Indiana Department of Education. While Cherry Tree Patriots study in an elementary school with a student body slightly larger than the Carmel Clay School District average, they still enjoy competitive academic achievement and a good student-teacher ratio. The school is home to one of the district’s early childhood centers, which is run by the Carmel Early Childhood Assessment Team. The youngest Cherry Tree learners, from three to five years old, receive a continuum of care that connects them with peers at similar learning stages. Cherry Tree Elementary offers students from kindergarten through fifth grade a Chromebook for use at school and at home. Rotating 50-minute special classes include 21st Century skills and STEM. Through these classes and other enrichment activities, the staff at Cherry Tree seeks to educate students through a holistic learning model. Outdoor activities include a spacious softball complex, which it shares with Carmel High School, and three playground areas for age-appropriate outdoor play.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

We just moved to a different state to a top-ranked school, but as I am finding out, it can't hold a candle to Cherry Tree. As a parent I really appreciated their efforts to differentiate the kids early on in the school year. Gifted kids in math are moved up a grade (with others their same age within...
