Both my children attended Castlebay Lane Charter from Kindergarten through 5th, with my youngest one graduating in June 2025. We have had an overall wonderful experience. Principal Price cares about the students and has been bringing STEAM and additional educational programs to the school. The teachers are overall very caring and supportive. Some of our favorites were Ms. Cipriano (retired), Mr. Cascone (retired), Ms. Wartanian, Ms. Lee, Mrs. Mix, Mrs. Van Der Wel, Mr. Daniels, Mrs. Horosny and Mr. Sanchez. The families and parents are very involved in general. Really it's what you and your child make of the experience. If you choose to get involved and enroll your child in additional offerings (Example: run for student council, STEM/computer after school programs, recess BEL student volunteers, etc) then your child will have an enriched experience. If you choose not to participate and do the bare minimum, then you will not take advantage of all the school has to offer. We are very grateful for our time at this school.

If you want your child to hate school and not go to college send them here. This place makes kids miserable and why would they want to continue to college when they're done here. The teachers are mean and rude. They put so much pressure and work on the kid that they spend their whole afternoon and weekends doing homework.
