How lucky we are to be a part of the Castle Heights Family. It's a wonderful school, with happy children, incredibly involved parents, an amazing principal and an especially dedicated teaching staff.
I have 2 children in this school since pre- k. It's an amazing , community oriented, parent involved school. My kids love their school & their teachers.
Our family also just finished 6 years at the school. The parent support at the school is amazing. Literally hunderds of thousands of dollars, not to mention untold hours of volunteerism donated to the school. The parents have high expectations, and the teachers and staff are well aware of that, and meet those expectations. There was a concern a year ago, when the school's principal retired. However, the parent group was involved in the selection process for the replacement, and the new principal, Mr. Grass, met every expectation. (Even went with the 5th graders on their AstroCamp field trip.) His energy level is amazing, and he's firm, but gives so much encouragement to the kids. You can tell he loves his job. At our new middle school, we just found our daughter is in honors classes for all four core subjects. Even she said "our teacher last year really got us ready".) Thanks CH!
This is an amazing school. My daughter is beginning middle school and is so well-prepared. She had exactly the elementary school experience I hoped for her. Great learning, great friends and a great time!
Amazing Teachers Energetic Principal + Dedicated Parents API 903 _______________________________ = A rare gem on the Westside Castle Heights Rocks!!!
My child went to Kindergarten at CHE last year. He was with Ms. Yoon and had a great time throughout the school year. He was ever ready to go to school and learn. Ms. Yoon is a great teacher and she loves to teach. Her enthusiasm is infectious and it rubs off on the kids. The STAR program is enriching and keeps the kids busy with a wide range of activities.
Castle Heights is a fantastic school, and parental involvement is phenomenal. My son just finished first grade and Mrs. Malloy should get teacher of the year she was just so wonderful. My oldest child was in STAR program at Kentwood ES for five years, so I didn t hesitate to enroll my son into Castle Heights STAR program and they didn t disappoint. My son receives help with homework, arts and crafts, sports, and is even in a woodshop course in the STAR program. 5 starts to CHE and the STAR program.
I love Castle Heights STAR! Great staff and wonderful programs. Thank you STAR Torrie Rosenzweig
My son had the best time in the STAR Little Dippers. It was the best experience for him. I look forward to him starting kindergrten.
My son just finished 3rd Grade and our daughter will be in kinder next year at this school. The new principal is fantastic and the STAR PROGRAM is phenomenal. These two aspects make me so GRATEFUL to be a Castle Heights Dad!!
