The place has made my life a living hell, not only do the the teachers not care about teaching but don't care about their students. If your tired, yelled at and ridiculed, if your not focused or miss something, yelled at but not told. My friends who are hispanic and dont understand english are never taken care of, but yet handed a tablet and told to translate, What i dont get is why a whole class of good kids could get in trouble for 2 kids doing something. The admin never help, there's about an average of 3 fights a week and kids seem to care more about recording than interveneing, they feed us plastic while also not allowing us to snack, not during passing period or the 3 and a half minutes we get outside. Kids get more help than, yet kids need more help than others you could cry for help and the kid sitting next to you would get more care. Its hell on earth and not only doesnt allow anyone to learn but doesnt allow anyone to be happy, healthy nor pleased with their learning.

MHS does not get the rating it deserves. The family vibe, amazing teachers and wide diversity is the reason why all of my children went to school there even when we moved out of the boundaries. School spirit is amazing, most teachers are there to help and admin is very involved in the daily life of the students. This school deserves The 5 star rating!

A deeply disappointing experience at Chaparral Elementary SY 2023-2024.I truly regret not withdrawing my son from this school sooner. He previously attended A Step Ahead Preschool, where he thrived—he was excited to go every day and approached learning with enthusiasm and confidence. Unfortunately, that all changed after enrolling at Chaparral.From the start, we noticed a significant decline in his enthusiasm for school. He became withdrawn and less confident when faced with new learning tasks. The most distressing incident, however, was when my wife picked him up from school and discovered he had been left in soiled clothing after an accident. Our son had peed his pants—a first for him, ever—and despite asking his teacher for a change of clothes, he was left in the same state for the rest of the school day. This level of neglect is inexcusable.When we raised the issue with the principal, she acknowledged that the situation was unacceptable and called it a "red flag." We then arranged a meeting with her and the teacher, but the meeting itself only further highlighted the school's lack of professionalism. The teacher arrived late, and we were told we had only 15 minutes to speak. Rather than addressing our concerns, the conversation was steered toward complaints about our child. They completely disregarded the fact that, just the day before, we had to pick him up early after the school nurse informed us he had been injured when another child picked him up and dropped him—resulting in him hitting his head on the floor.The leadership at this school is seriously lacking. The principal does not appear to be a neutral, empathetic, or effective advocate for students or their families. While I want to believe that there are good teachers at Chaparral, the one assigned to our son showed a troubling lack of care and basic responsibility.I hope our experience serves as a cautionary tale for other parents. We want our children to feel safe, supported, and seen—and sadly, Chaparral failed on all counts.

This school is terrible, a lot of the teachers that were at this school while I was growing up liked to scream at kids and terrorize them, I was in the err and there were sped paras that would yell at me and slam their hand down on the table, they would make kids cry and get away with it. I was bullied ruthlessly and no one cared
