My experience with this school has been deeply disappointing, especially when it comes to safety and how concerns are handled. Issues that should be taken seriously are often minimized or brushed aside. Instead of addressing problems directly, staff tend to downplay situations and hope they disappear on their own.There is also a noticeable pattern of inconsistent treatment from teachers and staff, which at times feels discriminatory. Students and families deserve to be heard and treated fairly, but that has not been my experience.Unfortunately, both the principal and vice principal seem more focused on collecting a paycheck than actively supporting students or resolving concerns. They rarely listen fully, they dismiss valid issues, and they give the impression that they simply want you to stop asking questions.A school should be a safe, supportive environment, and leadership should set that tone. Right now, this school is falling short in those areas.

Mary Ann Binford Elementary has been an amazing school for my family over the years. I’ve had kids in grades K-5 here, and I’ve seen firsthand how much this school has grown and improved. My youngest is currently in kindergarten, and I’m so impressed by how much he has already learned!I’ve had the opportunity to work with several administrators over the years, but Principal Nieto is by far my favorite. She has brought incredible energy and leadership to the school, making so many positive changes. The addition of the new makerspace is such an exciting upgrade, and I’ve noticed a clear improvement in academics and test scores under her leadership.What truly sets the school apart now is its welcoming culture and sense of community. Principal Nieto and the staff have created an environment where families feel valued and included. I can’t recommend Mary Ann Binford Elementary enough for families looking for a school that truly prioritizes their students’ success and well-being!

My son had a really bad experience in this school with bulling. We reported this several times with the teacher and the principal. We took it to APS and nobody did anything. I’m glad the school year it’s almost over. My son will be going to the different t school.

Worst school ever my son has been getting bullied his teacher nurse principal and counselor knows about it my son does not want to go to school anymore school does nothing to pro text the students and to keep them safe all they do is defend the teacher and call Cyfd all because my son is getting hit at the point where he has marks on his arms and refuses to take off his jackets to avoid getting bruised up again they even deleted my class dojo because I “threatened” them by saying if they are not going to do anything to protect my son then I will take actions myself. This school is a joke but too quick to call Cyfd and the cops on me.
