Open Quote We moved from Lexington to Camp Dick Robinson district specifically because of the elementary school. Two children go through CDR and it was an exceptional experience with both children. Highly recommend. Close Quote

Open Quote I went to the school for help and pushed for open communication. Their response was to call CPS. Completely failed us and dismissed any concerns I had. Close Quote
