I think that Maricopa Wells Middle School is doing a fair job...certainly there is room for improvement. However, I am understanding that we are living in a community that grows at a crazy rate and has a somewhat transient population. I also understand that is my responsibility as a parent to be involved

(eg. chaparoning dances, bring your parent to school day). So sad. I will be moving my child back to Ahwatukee as I dont believe MUSD20 is able to provide a quality education at this point in time.

I hate this school. I only have 1 out of 6 teachers who even seem to care about me. The principal is ridiculous and when I come to school I always feel like I'm walking into a jail.
