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.

Spracale Elementary School is a treasure to the Tempe community and among the best in the district! Our family made the choice to open enroll (we live in the Mesa School District) and it was absolutely the best decision we could make for your children. Every teacher and staff member is welcoming, professional, and truly understands what it takes to enrich students both academically and socially. As a parent, I have always appreciated the open lines of communication that teachers have established and the memorable activities that are planned. The office staff and administration team are incredibly helpful and kind. They run a tight ship but always with a smile! Spracale also values the importance of hands-on and project based learning as well as meeting the strengths of all children. They have a flourishing music program, top notch PACE teacher, access to a school garden, many opportunities for physical activities, and really...I could go on. But in a nutshell, Spracale is best if experienced first hand!

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.
