- **4/5** — Room for improvement: While we've had a generally positive experience at Castle View, there have been some issues with communication between teachers and parents. The school's emphasis on Respect and Responsibility is great, but sometimes this comes across as a bit too rigid. Overall, we're happy with the education our child has received, but there's definitely room for improvement. *(Nov 2020)*
- **4/5** — Great start to education: Although my child has moved on to secondary school, we still keep in touch with the Castle View community. We remember the school for its welcoming atmosphere, hardworking staff, and engaging curriculum. If I had to choose again, I'd still send my child here. *(May 2020)*
