One time I also called to speak to my daughter's teacher, and the receptionist didn't even know who I was asking for. Another time the nurse sent home a paper saying my daughter can't come back to school without the proper immunizations; however, I had already given them to her months earlier, she had lost them. The staff is totally disorganized. Read less

I have child who is behavior challenged and the staff at the school take the time to work with him and help him not only in education but on being a better student all around.

My son attended Laveen Elementary for two years and it was very interesting, needless to say. There is no discipline there, violence amoung the younger children, and just plainly, a poor learning environment. I have decided to pull my son out of school to homeschool him.

However, I do not like the idea of using my child as a guinea pig for the educational system to screw up until they finally decide to do something constructive with this school. Read less
