I enrolled my son, but I noticed that his teacher doesn’t really communicate much with the parents and rarely replies through the app. The substitute teachers also come across as snobbish. It honestly feels like a waste of time and money because my son doesn’t seem to be learning anything from this school.Loretta Zumbro

Our child attended this school from kindergarten through the middle of first grade. During that time, he became fearful of going to school because of ongoing bullying issues. Students in first grade were reportedly being “pantsed” regularly, and our child was called “weird” and “dumb” because he had a 504 plan, which raised concerns for us about student privacy and school culture surrounding accommodations.We also experienced a serious medication safety issue in which our child was accidentally double dosed by an office administrator without consulting the school nurse first.We ultimately transferred our child to Westar Elementary School, and the difference has been night and day. Our son now loves school, has experienced zero bullying issues, and is performing above average academically in a supportive environment.

We recently moved to Goodyear and have had a great experience with Las Brisas Academy. They have been very welcoming, community involved and our 4th grade teacher was a pleasure to work with and my child enjoyed learning!
