I love Castille. I think the administrator and teachers do a wonderful job promoting community and diversity. They do not try to create the perfect student, they try to create the perfect environment to help foster learning and engagement from each child.

Exceptional. I thought I had a very good elementary school education, but our children received a much better education at Castille. Our oldest was among the first children to spend their entire elementary education under Common Core, and while at first I thought it would be too demanding of our kids, it turned out to be perfect for them.

We absolutely loved this school! We were only here for 2 years before we moved out of the area, but my girls really miss it. Ms. Nancy and Ms. Tina in the office are always ready to greet everyone with a huge smile and make you feel like you are the most important person they have seen all day.

Castille has really impressed me. Before sending my daughter there for kindergarten, I was dead set on getting into the local charter school fearing the local school system would fail my child. I am very pleasantly surprised on how much I like this school and how much my daughter does too. She loves her teacher Mrs Rondeau and is thriving. I remember during the back to school picnic the Principal was telling us there are families who specifically buy homes within Castille's boundaries. Now I know why!

Both my sons attended Castille Elementary. I feel they had a great start to their educational career. The teachers are truly dedicated to their jobs and their students. They encourage children to always do their best. The STEM program is amazing. The Principal is a great leader who is very approachable and knows every student by name. Children feel loved when they come to school and with that they are ready to thrive and learn.

We've been at Castille for 3 years now with 3/4 of my children currently attending and plan to stay til our little one is through in 6 years. We've had nothing but positive experiences, from teachers to staff to homework to afterschool activities and even other parents. I can't imagine a better school.

The staff is top notch. You feel welcomed the moment you walk in the front door. I love the sense of community and dedication from each teacher. They truly go above and beyond!

My children are very happy at this school. The principal really takes the time to get to know each student and knows them on a first name basis. That's pretty amazing considering there are over 600 students that attend this school. The teachers are the best of the best and very passionate about what they do. I couldn't be happier that my children attend such a great school.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SCHOOL! This is our 3rd year at Castille and the principal, teachers and office staff are amazing. The parent involvement is so great that it makes you feel like you are part of a second family. My only complaint is that I wish this school went through 6th grade so my children could attend there longer.

Castille is an amazing school. My son has attended for 2 years. He loves school and has excelled. He adores the principal and loves his teacher. He can't wait for summer to end and for the new school year to start.
