I love this school!! My kids are enjoying their classes and their theachers are challenging and supportive. The Principal is very approchable but strict, but I feel that is the way succesful principals must run a school.

Las Sendas has done an outstanding job of educating - in all areas. I found the teacher to student ratio in the 6th grade to be closer to 1-24. As a result of their efforts, my son is doing very well in middle school in all subjects. I highly recommend Las Sendas.

The classroom size is a joke this year (2008-2009). There are 35 in 3rd grade! How is this allowed? Great school, but kids are not getting what they need with 34 other kids to compete with. The school has really grown, and we need alternatives!

The Principal of this school has some very real problems and it shows in the position she holds. She is overly controlling and uses a condescending tone, attitude and outlook to students and parents alike. It is so sad to see a person with such an attitude in a position of a role model for our children.

Although this school is more affluent than neighboring schools, there certainly is a high materialistic standard which has alienated both the parents and children of 'regular' families. Children should not have to feel that there is such a heavy emphasis placed on body image and clothing labels. The
... Read more teachers at the school are quite gifted. However, the Principal of the school may be described as generally cross and overbearing. While our child excelled academically, the staff seemed generally unaware of the female body image issues that were running rampant. We have decided to move our child from Las Sendas because of these reasons. Read less

My children have thrived at Las Sendas Elementary but I do believe the class sizes are too large. I think that they are going to have to change the borders to eliminate anyone outside of Las Sendas. New residents are moving into Las Sendas and are on waiting lists to attend school. I agree with the

The children of that community along with ones walking to school have almost been hit. Will it take an accident to wake some parents up? I agree the drop-off situation is a nightmare, but the safety of the children comes first. Read less

I have been involved with a number of elementary schools around the country over the last few years and it is sad to see so many people say how great this school is. Unfortunately this school falls in a state which is lacking in many if not all aspects of education. If you compare it to schools across
... Read more Arizona it is great, but compared to other states...not even close. The kids here are getting a substandard education and now the state is considering even more cuts to education due to a budget shortfall! When will this state learn....obviously as fast as the children are. If you have a choice and have to stay in AZ-go private, not charter, just private. You'll have to pay for it, but what's more important your childs education or following a strict budget if you have to. Read less

Not impressed at all! Yes this school has high test scores and high parental involvement but it's lacking in so many areas. If you are looking for a school that promotes a love of learning look elsewhere!

My daughter went to Las Sendas the 2nd year it opened and my son will be going into 6th grade this year. My daughter is doing great in a very challenging school and I believe she got her foundation by going to Las Sendas. My son is on the same track. Las Sendas is a great school, the teachers are
