Camelback Academy

This school is a awesome school. The staff and teachers really care about the students and they get to know the students personally and the parents. Everyone is so polite and friendly. The best part about this school is that they teach great. My son and daughter both attend and they have improved so much at this school and they love their teachers. My daughter says Ms Zipp is awesome.

I LOVE this school. Mrs. Raj was the best teacher ever. My son has been going to this school since Kindergarten and now he's in 3rd grade. I took him out for a few months due to moving far west and his grades fell below average, he started getting into trouble, etc. I put him back in Camelback Academy and have not had any problems from him. The office staff is beyond wonderful, the school director Mrs. Kordon is beyond wonderful, the after school coaches are great!! There's not enough words to describe how great the school's curriculum is. I love this school!!

My daughter was in La Petite Academy for almost 3 years before she started kindergarten this year at Camelback Academy. I had checked the test scores for surrounding public schools and charter schools, and Camelback was definitely a better one! I had read very few reviews on how bad Camelback academy was, even the one referring to it as being ran by the pom and cheer squad. I am a very particular person, expecially when in reference to my child, and the environments surrounding her. Not only is this school ran by peppy people who love what they do, but also, people who sincerely care that your child is there. It's almost like an appreciation that you are entrusting your child into their capable hands! My daughters teacher, Ms. Breed is excellent about getting back to me with questions, concerns, or comments. I recommend this school 100%!!

My daughter, too, was in La Petite for the State employees. I believe fully that the way it was ran prepared her for kindergarten this year. I chose Camelback Academy because it was close to my home, tested better than other surrounding schools, and had a lower percentage of spanish speakers, which makes it easier for my child, since she doesnt know a lick of Spanish. I think that this helps her because the class room is more focused on learning regular kindergarten material opposed to teaching english to those who can't and leaving behind english speaking children to wait on the spanish speakers. My childs teacher is wonderful and I definitely know I picked the right school for her to excel and flourish! All of the staff is friendly and helpful!

My daughter is now finishing 5th grade and has been at Camelback since 1st grade. This school has been much better for her than the nearby public school she initially attended. Being a special needs child, Camelback has always been a positive and safe place for her. At Camelback, they have a professional who works with special needs children, Dr. Fritz, who has worked with my daughter, her teachers, and our family, which has helped my daughter greatly. I never had a single email I sent, or concern about my daughter ignored by anyone at this school. The principal, staff and teachers never expressed to me they were anything but caring professionals. Camelback has additional benefits that many other charter schools don t offer, such as art classes, music classes and free after school clubs and more. Not only do I like this school, but my daughter always has liked Camelback.

My son use to go to thi school. They principle wants you to come to her if you have a problem. This is a joke. She screens her calls. Does not responde to email. and If you go to the school to see her she is always in meetings. Her mouth piece is an negitave educator who thinks she is above the world and unable to be touched by the board of education. If you have a special needs child stay away from this school. If your child is not a perfect angle stay away from this school. Oh yeah did I say this school is ran by the pom and cheer scaud of our days. If you didn't like them then you wont like them now!

My first child started at a local public school and it was the worst thing ever .At camelback I realized that there are teachers that still teach because they truly care.My children are doing great and really love their school. I wouldnt change schools for anything. Except middle school because they dont do it.
