Unfortunately, my son experienced an unfortunate incident and no action was taken. Furthermore, to make matters worse, they accused my young child of lying. Additionally, there is a severe lack of supervision during lunchtime, with no teachers present, and the communication with parents is extremely poor. Even though I’d diverse there is no comunicación with the parent what so ever. Bad school, if I could give zero I would.

This is a fantastic school. Diversity is celebrated, expeditionary learning is an innovative model, and its small size means an outsized experience for all students.

Small class sizes and caring teachers make for a unique learning environment where children learn to be strong leaders, advocates and great public speakers.

Teachers and students at Campbell radiate energy and creativity, which can be seem from the writing and art that adorns the walls, to the budding plants in the new greenhouse, to the performances at the weekly Community Meeting. It is a special community, small and extremely diverse, with support from a very active PTA. Our son loves going to school each day, and we feel confident that his education is in good hands. I'd like to give a special shout-out to the staff for all the extras they provide, from the Odyssey of the Mind program, to the Young Authors Night, to the 4th/5th grade musical, to the beautiful classroom garden beds. Thank you, Campbell!

My daughter started in this school in 2014 and my son in 2015. They both love it. Mr. Turner is a very professional and experienced teacher. Mrs. Ammons is very positive and smile-full person. They bring books every week from the library. And the activities are just perfect.Thanks Campbell

We love Campbell and couldn't be happier with the choice we made for our child! It's a smaller school with a very close-knit community (aided by teacher looping). Parents are very engaged, teachers are excellent, and Expeditionary Learning provides an incredible methodology for in-depth and hands-on exploration. Plus, since transferring to Campbell my child has fallen in love with books. I would recommend Campbell to any parent that desires their child to love learning and not just drill for standardized tests. It's so refreshing to see my child excited to go to school every single day.

Our child is in Kindergarten at Campbell - Excellent school!!! Perfect learning environment. I'm trying to get my son also into Campbell. Wonderful teachers and wonderful learning.

Our child was at Campbell from preschool through 5th grade. It was a perfect learning environment for her, and the most inclusive learning approach I was able to find in the county. The Expeditionary Learning model embraces kids with learning differences (and don't we all differ in some way?) and helps them flourish. When kids identified as 'gifted' can work hand in hand with kids who struggle with traditional teaching methods you know the foundation's been laid for a lifetime of learning success.

My precocious pre-schooler went into Campbell with a full head of steam and ready to upset every apple cart. He found the most loving, challenging, engaging learning environment, supported by brilliant set of experienced teachers and a system ready to channel his limitless energy into learning. He has excelled and progressed, advancing a full grade level beyond testing in language and reading, but more importantly he is in love with the school's 'exploratory learning' process. They do deep investigations into whatever topic. his time around is 'water'. They did streams and rivers, rain, and oceans, and even had a plumber take them down to look at the pipes under the school. The class is now preparing for tomorrow's class 'showcase' day, where the kids get to be the teacher and show off for parents. He's so excited, and so are we. Also, we've never seen more engaged community / PTA.
