My girl attended this school for a year and she loved it (1st grade). However, I didn't noticed much progress in her knowledge, especially in math. She never had a homework - just a book to read. I am also concerned with Cale's quite low rating - 6. If it is so great why the rating is so low? I hope the principal can answer my question.
We have really enjoyed Cale. The principal, Mrs. Jones, cares a lot about the students and really listens to the parents. The administration and staff are kind and helpful. The teachers are top notch, and the curriculum is excellent. My daughter is very bright and has always been challenged at Cale. I was a little worried about the socioeconomic diversity compared to other schools in the district but it seems to be a supportive, safe environment for all children regardless of their individual circumstance. My daughter appreciates the different backgrounds and cultures of her classmates, and the teacher does a lot to celebrate their heritage. The literacy program is incredible. They are well-organized and challenge every child on his or her reading level. Parent involvement is huge. One of the best schools in the area.
My daughter is a rising first grader at Cale. She had a great kindergarten experience and we expect the same in first grade. The staff at the school and the PTO are extremely welcoming.
My son is in Kindergarten at Cale. I too took him out of private school to attend Cale and at first was concerned about the transition (my son did not want to leave his old school). After the first day my son loved it and he still does. His teacher is excellent and he cannot wait to go to school each day. He is thriving and learning at an excellent rate. The staff is warm and friendly and they really encourage parental participation. The new principal seems to be fitting in just fine and made the new transition seemless. I am at his school three days a week helping out in various capacities. They really have it going on. The new playground and equipment is excellent. As a reading teacher myself I am throughly impressed with the level my child is reading at.
