[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had a horrible experience at Campbell and left after a few years.  The principal is a nightmare. EL has no depth. The academics overall are poor and there are not high  expectations for kids. My child barely learned to read there. Communication between the school and parents is minimal. Outdoor Ed only occurs if your child’s teacher signs up for it. It’s not a given that all kids get the garden and outdoor learning experience. I had a special Ed advocate tell me he advises newly admitted special Ed patents to avoid Campbell at all costs. [/quote]

This +1000. This was my experience and thankfully  I had a decent home school to go back to. The principal seemed cold.Her communications are  bare minimum compared to my home school. I tried it for my DD only because of all the hype I heard. My DD was in mainstream room with IEP they missed her OT for nearly a month said they didnt see it in IEP. Academics were way behind from my neighborhood school as my DD chanded in 1st grade.  We got out after a month and never regretted it. DD liked it as far as friends as she met many. The extended dayvthere is great, but the classroom teacher and special education teacher were nothing to write home about. So glad we got out! If your kid is solid on academics(advanced)and has no special needs this might be a good fit otherwise I would look elsewhere.  [/quote]
