My experience at Castaneda had been overall a great experience. The community is a nice place to be everything needed is close by.

I’ve always heart great things about the school and principal. As of now I have not seen that. Lots of teachers that should not be teachers working there and this is with a lot of complaints about those teachers and kids getting transferred out of their classrooms. It’s alarming the principal allows these teachers to still work there. Lots of fights happen at this school. There is a social media page based off of making fun of kids. From my understanding Dr. Camacho was strict about phones I have not seen that either. They dress code for minor things late in the day… parents are working and can’t be leaving at 330 to take a sweater. Minor things such as Jeggings. Also kids using the gym for practice time not being allowed. Nowadays you want to keep your kids busy and practicing for a sport and off the phones and have a straight mindset but she is proving she doesn’t care about either. I’m not happy with this school. They need better admin. I also called to speak with attendance clerk. She was very rude. Didn’t let me speak. Lots of things need to change at this school. They need to put their students first.

The school’s dress code system is based off the 60s. it’s disgusting having old women try to implement a dress code that seems to only affect women.
