If I could give zero stars, I would. Mrs. Hamati the principal has been one of the most rigid and overbearing staff members I’ve encountered. She shows little to no understanding of individual student needs and absolutely no flexibility when it comes to circumstances that require compassion and support.Her approach is unnecessarily strict, cold, and unyielding—failing to foster a healthy or encouraging environment for students. Rather than working with families or finding solutions, she creates more tension and leaves students feeling unheard, misunderstood, and discouraged.In a role that should require empathy and communication, she consistently demonstrates the opposite. If you're looking for someone who nurtures growth and supports student well-being, unfortunately, that’s not what you’ll get here.

There are better examples of schools that are more well rounded, educated and student-focused in Tempe. I would not suggest this school to anyone that cares for their child. Everything from teachers attitudes, student mental and physical health to such a simple thing as a healthy lunch. This is only my opinion but please be warned.Teachers: I would say a 1/3 of the teaching staff actually put forth 110% for the students. There are staff that borderline bully students/parents. It's happen to me and I've seen it happen to other parents. The only decent teachers have left for other schools, and those teachers made it bearable. For example, they claim "There are cameras everywhere." yet my student was blamed for something they didn't do (other students agreed) but ended up getting detention anyway with no evidence.Classwork:They claim there is no homework, yet they do and make the students carry tons of paperwork and a chrome book. We weighed their backpack and it weighed 10lbs. I am not against homework but some of their decisions are questionable. The lessons bounce from subject to subject so often, its difficult to keep track of anything. For example, Going from Greek mythology for 2 days, then suddenly learning about caveman drawings. Just no real direction.Social-emotional support:From the bullying from students and teachers (A Teacher has said in the middle of class "I don't know how you got to this grade") to taking things out of context and making something it is not, doesn't sit well with my student and I can see their hesitation on enrolling again.Family EngagementThe only positive thing I will give them is they are very open on what students are learning and with events the school holds.Nutrition:If you care about what your student eats and doesn't eat, be warned. Their lunch menu is 3/10 at best, they do have alternative Peanut Butter and Jelly, but that's it. Teachers will give things like candy and processed junk food throughout the day, but there is nothing nutritious about it.

My son is in 2nd grade, and I have been incredibly pleased with the school thus far. We live in Gilbert, his father lives in Tempe, and despite the reputation of the great schools in Gilbert, we choose to take him here because of how outstanding Fuller is. The staff is effective and understanding of working with children of all personality types. Academics is a focus and test scores demonstrate how well Fuller exceeds in this area compared to other nearby schools and state wide. The Pace program offers great programming for kids who are excelling academically and want further challenges. School clubs like coding allow kids to grow in areas that are becoming more in demand in the future work field. Kindness, respect, anti-bullying is a focus of the culture at Fuller. All in all, I am very happy with our experience so far at Fuller, and highly recommend it to anyone considering enrolling their child there, in or our of the school boundaries.

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.
