I also left Higley District and brought my 3 children to Settler's Point. For the first time in 4 years my oldest daughter said she loves school. Settler's Point has a great staff that truly cares about their students. The support staff is great and great with the kids. I absolutly love how the parents

We left Higley district to attend Settler's Point and so far I am pleased with the school. It is safe, organized and run with a great deal more experience and professionalism than we ever witnessed in the other district. Staff is helpful, knowledgeable and available- teachers are experienced, committed

Pick-up/Drop-off is a mess, but it's clear they have done all they can do with that and it just is what it is. Walking or busing is probably best. All in all, I'm very happy with the education and attention my kids are receiving here. Read less

I couldn't disagree more about leadership issues or parent involvement. In the years our current Principal has been there, the school has done very well!!! All of our test scores are higher, and none of our children, or their families complain about anything at the school. As a Dads' Club member for

If your definition of encouragement to be involved means to come to your home, pick you up and then lavish you praise for helping, then no you would not be encouraged to be involved. It is all in how you see it. Read less

The school is great! Our two girls (3rd and 4th grade)love the faculty, and we appreciate the effort we see to challenge the students abilities. While it is true, there are many families that do not spend much time on learning at home, we see our kids test scores consistently above the district and national

From what I have seen though, if people would just be as polite as their kids, it would be much easier. There are a lot of great activities put on by the Dads' Club. Movie Nights, Cosmic Bowling, etc... Overall it is a great place for your children to be learning. Make it better by participating and being active in their school. Read less

I have really enjoyed Settlers Point so far. My child began in Jan 06 for the second half of 2nd grade. Our teacher was not great, (she's gone now) but overall I liked the school. Academics are tougher and broader in Gilbert then our previous state. I love the Chess club. My child enjoyed the summer

I love that I can email her for issues/concerns and get bi-weekly progress on every grade my child receives.

I really like this school...Most of the teachers are excellent - teach to different levels of the children (advanced learning and reading programs, etc). Not crazy about the principal - but she does listen to parent concerns. My kids have gone thru k - 3rd grade so far and they both love it. Very
