Caldwell is a wonderful school with high expectations from the students. The teachers are willing go the extra mile to help the kids with what ever it may be from tutoring to everyday advice. Since my kids have gone there they have had a great experiences, my daughter scored all advanced on her TCAP and is going to a magnent school next year
