I used to go to this school, up until 2023. I disliked this school a lot, mainly because of all the bullying. I wasn't a target of it, but kids would get bullied/made fun of all the time. Kids would come into the school & hop the fence after school and vandalize, mess up playgrounds etc. Me and my friends would come after school & climb over the fence to play hide n seek, and manhunt but other kids in grades lower than me would climb on top of the roof, and older kids would hang out and do some stuff their parents wouldn't like. There's only one class per grade, and the other school one base, Sonoran Science Academy, recently shut down. All those kids are going to Vail, like I do now. Don't waste time trying to send your kids here. They can take a 40 minute bus ride and not get made fun of, bullied, and exposed to things they shouldn't be.

Sadly, this school put my child with special needs in danger and then completely abandoned her. This was our home district and we were happy to get my children into what we thought was a kind and inclusive school community. The problem at Miles wasn't the teachers, they are caring and creative, the problem is poor resources and ineffective and inflexible administration. The district will try to get out of paying anything they can for students with special needs. I had a letter documenting my child's need for an aide from her developmental pediatrician and they had the data from the school showing she clearly needed 1:1 support but they still would not provide it due to the cost. When my 5 year old got away from her teacher who was in charge of a whole kindergarten class and ran into a busy street they finally recognized that she needed some aide support. That was several months into the year when she had already been endangered by their reckless policies. Then when school went to online only in March 2020 and my 6 year old child with special needs could not learn that way, admin just gave up and refused to educate her. They would not bring her in for tutoring or any services, nothing, even though her special ed teacher recognized that she could not learn online and wanted to teach her in person and felt she could do it safely, admin refused and completely abandoned her. The school has remained shuttered for an entire year now, 12 months, to students who desperately needed in person education, what a travesty, I feel terribly for any students stuck in TUSD who needed in person education and have list out on so much. I am so incredibly thankful we got our kids into CFSD, they are doing an excellent job educating all children safely even during a challenging year and are a much more welcoming and inclusive community!

horrible staff doesn’t care some do but don’t reccomend
