I am currently an 8th grade on Team Gecko. This school is one of the best schools that I have seen in this area.

Mrs. Crothers: awesome. she is the best teacher you could ever ask for, she is fun, and a great motivator.

My daughter is a self-motivated student and her biggest complaint was the lack of accountability. Although she was in all advanced classes, many of her classmates didn't turn in assignments timely or at all, with little or no consequences. I met my daughters teachers, counselor and some administration,

There are some scary looking kids on campus, but they seem harmless & school safety doesn't seem to be an issue. All Arizona public schools suffer from the mediocrity bred by the standardized AZ test. The top students don't get challenged because the effort is on getting the lowest to pass the test. Grammer & creativity aren't priorities. This school is as good as any Tucson school, possibly better. Read less
