Camelback Academy Charter School

This is our second year at this school, I had some issues here and there last year, one being the parking lot because parents are in such a hurry they park/​drive where ever they want and it can be a mess but I have shared my concerns with the Principal and they have taken steps to try and ease the chaos but it is still not great.
I also had an issue with the assemblies/​concerts because they always have the Cluster A kids go first, then Cluster B and then Cluster C and the parents of the first two clusters would leave after their kids were done and no one stayed for Cluster C. I have one child in Cluster C and one in Cluster A so I felt that was pretty rude of the parents to leave and not watch everyone when we all sat nicely listening to their kids at their turn. I suggested they have them go randomly instead of in order and the Principal said she would make sure that happens this year so we will see.
I don’t feel like my child who is in Cluster C is challenged very much, he doesn’t bring half as much homework as his younger brother does and this is for both last year and so far this year. I don’t think kids should be swamped with work but one worksheet a week is definitely not enough either. I have to supplement work at home for him.
Other than that the kids are really nice, the school is clean and the Staff are friendly and helpful. I’m glad my kids are going here and the fact that teachers and staff communicate with parents through email/​calls/​letters and the daily reports that each student has.

The moment you walk in to this school you can tell the staff truly cares for the students. they are doing everything within their power to help the students better themselves.
