I have watched this school change from an amazing place to a pathetic excuse for a school. The front office is in way over its head and over half of the staff has left in the past year. It makes me wonder why the school district is letting this campus be guided down the path of failure. 25 years of work

I love Castle Park Middle school. My son is a special ed student. He attended another school and was picked on and bullied and afraid to go to school. Teacher told him he wasn't very intelligent. That other school was awful! Since being at Castle Park, my son has been learning and making friends. We

No problem with the bully since then. There are lots of after school activities & homework help. The teachers are awesome! They go out of their way to help the parents and students. The psychologist is so sweet and very helpful! Many principals don't have much to do with special ed. This principal is very in tune with special ed & all students. Read less

I recently attended the 7th grade orientation with my child and am very unhappy with the lack if any kind of individuality that the children are allowed to express. From the dress code to writting on there folders, I think you guys are way out of control or I guess I should say way too in control.
... Read more This age is very cricial to kids in finding who they are and what they like. I understand that school is a place for them to learn and that they shouldn't be worried about what they are wearing compared to what everybody has on, but that said, Ccompletely controlling what they wear down to the cut of their pants is not letting them make decisions for themselves or express themselves outwardly. That is also an important part of their growing process. This dress code of yours is more strict than the one my daughter had in elementary school. Treat the kids with some dignity and respect and not punish all for the actions of some bad. If the reason for this code is to keep gangs out of the school, that is laughable. Gang members are going to know each other regardless of your dress code. I hope that my initial feelings about this school are wrong and that my daughter will grow and learn in this seemingly stifling environment. Read less
