I have no idea what could have happened in the past, but as for now my child comes home happy and is learning new things everyday!

My son goes to this school and will go next year. We have had nothing but a great experience here. We love this school and reading all the older posts I have only known the new principal and he is great. I am glad that they found him before my son started going.

i was pleasantly surprised by the school--i heard not good things about it and was very nervous to send my child, but i think that the new principal has really stepped up to the plate. he is visible, and keeps you informed. the teachers are ambitious and are welcoming to parents who wish to volunteer.

In response to the parent who wrote in on 2/1--The school does have a new writing program. If you visit the school and talk to the teachers they will be happy to talk to you about it. As for leadership give the principal a chance-he just started in June. Children often experience trouble adjusting

Remember this is a small rural district experiencing rapid growth-it takes a while to get a handle on the type of growth being experienced in this area, especially as the state gives the district the money for the growth the year after the growth. Go down to the school and see for yourself-spend a day or two helping; then decide. Read less

This school is struggling. The academics & curriculum are horrible. Some teacher's are struggling, it's probably hard to keep a positive attitude when Pinal County & the district keep finding ways to underpay the teachers. We are approaching second quarter and the school has put several things in place
... Read more for students that struggle, ie: after school 'extended learning time' & Saturday school. While that is wonderful, there is nothing put in place for students that are doing well & excel. There wasn't even honor roll last quarter. No positive reinforcement for students that are trying to do well. Disappointing. Principal has his hands full trying to iron out the kinks. Read less
