The teachers are outstanding!! They are very good at working with the individual student. This is why Redwood is now a Performing Plus school. What more could you ask for in a school? Read less

What a great school. I love the high parental involvement and the many great teachers. It's great to have a school so close by that maintains that small town feel. The student to teacher ratio is wonderful. I couldn't have found a better school that fits both me as a involved parent and my child.

We are a small school with a family-feel environment. Our older students know all of the younger students. Everyone works together in a united effort to progress the academic and social welfare of each student. Often when giving orientations to the school I tell parents We are not here to educate
... Read more your child; rather we are here to assist you with the education of your child. Who knows the child the best? Obviously it is the parent. We request our parents to be involved in all areas and be an integral part of the school. We request parents to volunteer in the school. Volunteers are most welcome. We need volunteers to help with foreign language, music, sports, reading, art, etc. We are looking for parents and community members who can donate their time to coming into the school to be involved with the academics of our school. Our academic curriculum is aligned with Arizona State Standards. I keep track of each student s progress in reading, writing, and math. Our teachers chart out with the parent and student how the student will bet where he/she is expected to be by the end of the year through parent-teacher conferences and regular communications with the parent. Reading, writing, and math are approached on a very independent level. Student stretch as far as they are able and see great progress as they help chart out and record their own progress. Students take ownership of their education. I have enjoyed working with the high caliber of staff, faculty, parents, and students at this school. It is a very unique school with a wonderful spirit. If you are not currently a part of us, come and take a look. Read less
