I went to Caleb Greenwood for 7th and 8th grade. I loved the school and the activities we got to do. For our 8th grade trip we got to go to San Francisco.

I transfered my daughter from Kit Carson to Caleb Greenwood two years ago, becuase KC lacked responsible leadership. Although Caleb Greenwood seems to be a better enviroment for my daughter, I am not thrilled about the fact that my child ia aware of school politics and staff challenges. It is also

I am very involved with my childs education and feel that she excels because of the support she rcvs at home. I considered home schooling, but feel she should have a traditional 'school' experience. Suggestion: Leadership should reach out to all paents and stop catering to the parents and staff with personal drama; it is a school not 'all my children.' Read less

Otherwise it is a good school. I encourage her to continue to do her best. Read less
