I must say that the drop off feels very unsafe to be having elementary kids. Staff does their best to address this, but it still doesn't remove my fear fro my Kindergartner. Unfortunately my kid hates school now and has had many issues making friends and opening up about her days in school. Her teacher does do her best but i feel maybe she has too many kids assigned to her for a kindergartner teacher. They do address my daughters second language barrier and she has been able to overcome it and catch up with her class. The environment does not feel great for my kid either. Only some of the playgrounds have shade.

I am a sophomore in the band program at mesa high. I would like to say I enjoy this school but there needs to be some updates. The school board focuses on student athletics, don't get me wrong but there are so many other great programs at this school, for example, our clubs, the performing arts program, our AP classes, our FAFSA program, etc... But here's the thing teachers are great, except the students, but the board does not. I will say that I was not doing ok mentally but we have our awesome social workers, and they will help. This school also helps with getting college credits early WE have the ACE program and many dual enrollment classes. One thing I wish they did is to give the band a senior poster, because other schools do it, all of the sports have senior posters, so why can't we? The seniors put in lots of hard work for what they do. The teachers here are great I just wish the school board would focus on other things than sports. They need to acknowledge some students, not the student body.

I was bullied so much I had to do homeschool the rest of the year. The kids aren't taught the correct way, and the teachers honestly couldn't care most the time until something actually bad happens. The principal is another whole thing.
