Went to this school, overall had an “ok” experience. However, some of the staff can be a little rude or strict with students. Some teachers were nice, but some were mean and blamed things on me. Bullying wise, this school does not have a severe case of bullying, but I will say they are LOTS and LOTS of bullying, and they do not do much about it to solve the problem, at least that was the case when I attended the school. The good part about this school was the activities they had here and then that were very fun

Overall experience with the school is great. Teacher and nursing staff was very communicative with our daughter and us. Also, my daughter excelled at Caldwell and enjoyed going compared to the school she went to last year. A+

The school started out fine 5 or 6 years ago but it has consistently gone down in the past 3 years. They consistently focus on everything but what's actually important, and that's teaching the students

Very good experience with Caldwell. They really care about their students and their families.

the staff is rude and unhelpful will let my daughter finish this year and then will be moving her elsewhere I am one very unhappy parent with the way the teachers handle incidents and don't like the school nurse at all, pretty sure I've been talked about with staff and parents considering the treatment I get when I am there but that's fine won't be back .

I was very pleased with the school when my grandson attended, his teacher was very helpful and supportive. the office staff was very kind and helpful as well. one of the best schools in the area.

I was a student at Caldwell some of the staff were very mean , I felt Like sometimes I was in prison more than school. I didn't feel like the teachers tried to help all of the students, I myself didn't even learn to read till I was going into second grade. Like other reviews said it's like the teachers are there for the pay check not for the children. Don't get me wrong there are some very good teachers there. So I would advise parents to just be involved and ask there children about there day daily.
