Cardinal Valley Elementary School opened in September 1962. It was named for the subdivision it serves, which is named for Kentucky's state bird, the cardinal. An addition was built in 1966, and the school was renovated in 1986, adding more classrooms.

What makes our school special

We believe children are more secure and socialize better in small groups. Our student-to-teacher ratios are within the guidelines recommended by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

Each morning, our teachers set up their classrooms for a variety of learning opportunities. In addition, families are always welcome. We encourage parent involvement through conferences, committees and social activities. We also value the daily contact between parents and teachers at the beginning and end of the school day.

The most important reason our school is special is because we care so much for our kids!
