My son started Kindergarten this year and is excelling beyond my expectations. The office staff is the friendliest staff I have met in the Arizona school system. Not only does my son attend school here, but I have been lucky enough to be aloud to observe classrooms on my quest to become an educator myself.

Wonderful school. Before my son entered kindergarten, he couldn't recognize letter. By the end of the school year he was reading fluently. The small class sizes and caring attitude of staff members makes a great difference. I'm glad I found this school.

As with most (if not all) Arizona public schools, there is a major problem with class/racism that is largely ignored and never addressed. This ignorance is very apparent in the interactions of the students, as they tend to blurt out what their parents/other students say with no regard to consequence.
... Read more Multiple instances of racial remarks and outlandish behaviour by students have been brought to the attention of school officials with no resolution beyond 'That's horrible' and 'We should do something'.
