I am very happy with this school. My children have had so much support and success at Camelback Academy. We moved and I go out of my and drive them to school everyday day because I haven't found a better school close to us that I feel will give my kids what Camelback Academy gives to them for their future

Teachers and staff have a great group Camaraderie. All of the staff really seem to care for the children. I really enjoy the leadership/children team feeling of the school! I do wish the front office staff was more involved with the children/family's, but they seem very busy with them self's Even with a very busy front office staff, this school has a real feeling of "we care for our kid's" and I would refer this school to anyone! :).

Both of my kids go to camelback my son is an 8th grade and loves his teachers how they teach and how they treat him as a person. Not only a good school but is also an AWSOME church my family and I attend. Parents are very much involved with there kids and the school. My kids are very fortunate to be attending this school with a wonderful community. Camelback staff thank you SOOO much for what you all do for our kids.

Camelback Academy is an excellent school. The teachers and staff maintain high expectations of their students while rewarding and praising them for their positive behavior and achievements. The students are taught to respect one another and the reach for their goals. Our children are in school 90% of their time and I trust my children in the hands of Camelback Academy. It truely takes a village to raise a child and they are receiving life long skills from the teachers and staff at Camelback Academy.

This school has been such a great launching pad for my child. He has attended Camelback Academy since kindergarten and will be promoted to high school in 2014. He has developed into a great upstanding citizen and student. ALL of his teachers have been excellent and have helped molded him into the young man he is today. We had a rough patch with him last school year but the support from the Resource department and Mrs. Pennington, I felt heard and understood and felt she supported my husband and I in figuring out how to help my son with what he was struggling with. Although He does not need resource we figured out where he needed support and Mrs. Penninton helped us to discover what he needed. He is back on track and ready for the future! I love this school and recommend this school to friends and family.

Camelback Academy is a wonderful school. I have worked here for two years and am amazed at the professional, caring and respectful staff. The administration is always supportive, the students are wonderful and parents are heavily involved in their children's education. I am proud to have my daughter here and to be a part of the professional side of this school.

This school is amazing. If feels more like a family rather than just work. The staff is so wonderful to work with. And the parents seem to love it here as well as the students. About 95% of the time whenever a student leaves, the parents and the students usually come back in less than a week. They say that there is no other school like ours.

My daughter has been attending Camelback Academy since Kindergarden & now she is in 8th grade. The entire staff from the teachers to the cross walk staff are AWESOME. They have ALL been actively involved with my daughter in one way or another. I love that they know me by name & that they are all very friendly & helpful. I have been very fortunate that each of my daughters teachers takes the time to emai me or call me when they feel it is necessary. When I contact the teacher by email, I always get a quick reply back & the front office is always there when needed. I will & have always recommended Camelback Academy & will miss this school SO MUCH!

Camelback Academy is an incredible school with incredible students and staff. I have worked at the school for six years and love the way this school cares for the students.

I have called this school to obtain information about their studies as well as "extras" in their curriculum and the woman I spoke to on the phone was rude and not very forth coming about the school. She vaguely had answers and was short in her tone! She said it was impossible to meet any of the teachers and it was not an option to tour the school either. :( I am really disappointed in the behavior of the receptionist.. She is making it difficult to consider the school even though the ratings are better than the surrounding schools.

This school is a awesome school. The staff and teachers really care about the students and they get to know the students personally and the parents. Everyone is so polite and friendly. The best part about this school is that they teach great. My son and daughter both attend and they have improved so much at this school and they love their teachers. My daughter says Ms Zipp is awesome.

I LOVE this school. Mrs. Raj was the best teacher ever. My son has been going to this school since Kindergarten and now he's in 3rd grade. I took him out for a few months due to moving far west and his grades fell below average, he started getting into trouble, etc. I put him back in Camelback Academy and have not had any problems from him. The office staff is beyond wonderful, the school director Mrs. Kordon is beyond wonderful, the after school coaches are great!! There's not enough words to describe how great the school's curriculum is. I love this school!!
