Campus Community School

My child has been attending the high school for the past three years and I could not be more disappointed. I had severals meetings with the principal over the years regardings difficulties he has in the classroom and received no support. I had to take my child myself to get a full educational assessment done . $1,000 later I learned my child does have a learning disability. I informed the school and asked for an IEP. I was told he didn't need one, they would take care of it. They did not and I got help from an outside source. Some teachers are very unprofessional and unwilling to work with parents citing my child is old enough to advocate for himself. If your child needs any extra help or attention do not consider this school. We are transferring our child and feel we have wasted three years of education . It's a very hard lesson learned.

My child had been attending Campus since 2005. At that time the school was ranked as Superior status in the state rankings. We withdrew our child mid way thru the school year in 2010-2011 due to numerous issues. The school is now on Academic Review and bullying is ignored. We even had physician records of our child's emotional distress over being bullied and requested he switch classes. That request was ignored by th school administrator. In January we withdrew our child to be homeschooled and with 2 weeks another child withdrew from the same class. Neith er family ever recieved so much as a phone call from the school asking us what went wrong. As a parent I would think long and hard about sending my children to Campus

My son just started 1st grade this year and I am so happy with our choice. He really likes it and was very excited to return after the long Labor Day weekend. I realize this is only the 3rd week, but I have to say that the evening reading assignments are engaging and fun. Some nights we have other exercises that are just as engaging. I love the calendar feedback that is sent home nightly too. The guess work is out of what to wear, other than color. I only wish the website was updated to reflect current information. Only time will tell, but so far, so very good.

I do not think the school is unfair towards minority students but rather they bend over backwards to help all students attain their potential and goals. As parter of the CCS school charter and the Glasser Theory, parents have responsibility to volunteer and support the student's learning and students have a responsibility to be respectful, provide quality work, and take responsibility for their actions. Maybe if more parents and students recognized what the Glasser Theory is about they would feel that CCS is a very unbiased learning center. No school is ideal and CCS is not exempt from that. The administration could definite be more assertive with discipline and some teachers need to reinforce basic respect issues, but overall I think the school is strong.

Absolutely love the school, teachers, office staff, etc. The children are so involved with hands on learning and actually experience some of the things they are learning creatively. My children enjoy this school. I am extremely happy with what and how my children are learning!

I have to say I absolutely adore the school and teachers. The teachers are always more than willing to meet with parents. I also like the way that teachers seem to be very involved in all aspects of teaching. They carry their excitement into the classroom! My children are spread out throughout the grades and I've never encountered a 'bad' teacher yet. The administrators are very involved. Mrs. Hermance has always been willing to meet. I've never had any problems contacting her. She appears to be very proactive with the staff and students. Mrs. Greene has also shown her leadership ability to the fullest.

My son has been a student at CCS since August of 2005. Since the previous administrator left some things have changed for the worse. There is more solicitation for funds and with these current economic times it is harder for families to get by. There seems to be a little bit of nepotism when it comes to the selection of students for classes by staff and the discipline policy is applied arbitrarily as well. I know that each school has its ups and downs and positives as well as negatives but it seems that more negatives than positives are coming to light as time goes by. I don't regret sending my son to this school but I often wonder if he has outgrown the overall environment.

Our son has been going here for 6 yearsm we used to love the school. For the last 2 years though the school has declined destically. They have a very high teacher turn over in the middle school grade. Only one teacher stayed from last year and this year alone he has had 3 science teachers. They also did not get spanish this year because the spanish teacher left and they could not find a replacement. They call and bug you to donate money to the school s few times but when you try to get a responce from the principle or the teachers you are ignored. My son has ADHD and migraines. We asked the principle For an IAP plan as required by law on children with diagnosed learning disabilities. They have 90 days to respond and set a meeting up. It took 11 months! we took n=him out.
