Casis Elementary School Reviews

“I have three children at Casis and we love it. The students grow in an environment that nurtures self-confidence and independence. This self-confidence translates into academics which is apparent in their test scores. It is true that most students are from affluent families, but there are also a good number of middle income families who have bought smaller homes because of the school (including our family) who are perfectly happy here. My children have a lot close friends from school (in all income brackets) and have not had any experience of being left out just because of social status or what they are wearing. I highly recommend this school.”

“For general ed kids, this school is great. If you are not rich, realize that most of the kids that go here are wealthy, so there's some potential for a stigma attached to a kid who does not wear all name brand clothing, etc. The teachers here are top notch, excellent. The Principal is all about pleasing his 'elite' parent population of politicicians kids. If your child has special needs, realize you are up for a huge fight to mainstream them here unless you are related to someone who has some political power or big financial means. It's sad that it's like that because this school has more resources than any other school in the district. You'd think they'd be ready to help out a child who needs it. Gen ed= A++ Best EC!”

“This School has a wonderful atmosphere and the academic programs are rated top in the nation. Parents are very involved and the kids enjoy author visits, Casis Cares ( parents come in and teach about morals/values) and every teacher is top notch...they care about your child in every aspect. The principal is very good at communicating and takes pride in his job at Casis. I highly reccomend this school!”

“Casis has incredible parent involvement and support. The children have so many wonderful opportunities to learn in outdoor classrooms, the Casis Forest and extensive afterschool activities such as chess club, mad science, music, yoga and other groups. Our son has enjoyed the three years he has been there and learned a lot as well. We have been impressed with the author visits and international festival as well. We can't say enough good things about Casis.”

“We chose Casis over private schools and we are so glad we did! The principal, Dr. Aidman, is phenomenal--strong, engaged, fair, enthusiastic, handles problems extremely well--can't say enough good things about his leadership. The teachers are all strong and experienced, and passionately dedicated to the kids. There is an air of excitement at this school--everyone loves being there. Parents are actively envolved, and financially support the technology, spanish and library programs in particular. Of course, there are things I would recommend improving (isn't there always?) but they are minor or district-wide issues (such as: need more music and PE class time, parking is limited, need better after school programs, need to find ways to let working moms get involved, not just stay-at-home moms, etc.)”

“We love Casis! Our child is a first-grader who absolutely adores his teacher. Our child has learned so much from this group of educators. Not just in the area of academics, but in social development as well. At the end of our child's kindergarten year, he scored a 28 on the DRA reading assessment test, placing him at a third grade reading level in first. The school even had a special guest author visit during Reading Literacy Month to encourage young readers and writers. They also introduced a social skills curriculum into the classroom called Casis Cares. This introduced our child to the diverse cultures of our community. The classrooms radiate energy all the way in to the halls. There is excellent communication and parent involvement, and something new and exciting to be a part of every month. We love Casis, and would recomend it to other parents for their children!”

“Highest quality academic programming we have ever seen. Tons of parent involvement and extra curricular activities. As good or better than any of the private schools in the area. There is nothing bad to say about this school. Not much in the way of ethnic diversity, but other than that - a blue ribbon school.”

“Active and involved parents make Casis a great school. I agree with the previous reviewer, though, about G&T program--it's pretty hit-or-miss. Very safe, pleasant campus, lots of extracurriculars. Mr. Dunn (music) and Mr. Batiansila (5th) are jewels in the crown.”
