I believe the issue with Phoenix is Leadership by Principal. The principal never responds to emails nor takes issues seriously. The answer is 'I will get back to you' or 'I will look into it' It appears that she has a feeling that students will keep coming no matter how she or other teachers deal

In 1st Grade, There is one teacher who is very skilled and takes the job to her heart ( I dont want to quote names here as most of the parents know her .. ) Credibility to an institution comes from quality of service. Every parent shells out $8K / year. Every class of 20 students do have an average income of $160K / Year - Are we recieving a great service ? Read less

As a parent and teacher I was surprised how my son and I were treated. The school has no consideration to staff at all. They cut many corners that parents would hate to hear about. Teachers seem burnt out and should be replaced. Some teachers dont even seen qualified to be where their at. Hiring from

Teachers feel they dont have to give my child extra help or the help that they give the rest of the kids just because I work there. The only thing that I loved at that school was the afterschool program. They are all very awesome and good hearted teens. I feel that they are under budget though. I was very dissappointed that my son got cold lunch everyday when we ordered hot lunch. Sandy needs to focus on one thing and dothatright! Read less

We are very happy with Phoenix. Parents who complain about the uniforms - it is part of teaching kids (and apparently parents) about following the rules.

Expect more from your children including responsibility and respect for adults & authority. Phoenix does a good job in this world of self-esteem nonsense & babying kids and horrifyingly rude parents. Watch the way parents speak to staff and you see that staff is amazingly patient. The curriculum is definitely tough and may be too much for some kids. Pay attention, communicate with teachers to see if this is the right place for your kid. Read less

While I feel the teachers at the school are on par for the cost/expectations, the rest of the staff are far below. I can't even begin to say how fustrated I have been about just the lunch program alone. Does the staff pay attention enough to notice that a child isn't eating?? NOPE...does the staff

NOPE...and when I ask them why my child went without a lunch (when it was paid for) what do they say? Sorry, we can't watch them all.... So I ask myself, what exactly am I paying for?
