My child has gone to Connolly for less than one academic school year. The staff has repeatedly instigated her to argue with them to get them thrown out of the classrooms. One teacher has been reported multiple times by children, parents and even staff make comments that she is very unprofessional in her class. Even to the point of cursing and throwing desks and chairs. The administration has been notified and nothing has changed. I would remove my child if we had better options however we are limited on where they can go. If you have a choice DO NOT enroll your child here.

My child is a student in the Spark program. Yes, this is the only Tempe school with this special education program. However, that does not excuse the teachers and staff for their breakdown in thorough communication. I have had to reach out myself every quarter to receive updates as the school failed to do so themselves.

Most of the teachers are amazing. However, Molly Sadler in the administration is tearing the school to the ground. Her attitude towards students and parents is disgusting. Once she has a single encounter with a student she goes out of her way to find reasons to pull them out of class to discipline them. She makes comments on female students bodies. She is inappropriate and rude. She is disruptive to the learning environment that the teachers are trying to provide.
