7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy 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.Parent Review6y ago - Fees College Preparatory Middle School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible, as an 8th grader, this school is a bad choice. Some girls like drama, I’ll admit I do too, but this school is too much drama. You will most likely get into fights, the girls are very rude and mostly all of the kids are disrespectful. The teachers don’t really care that much and a lot of them are people you don’t really look forward to seeing. Save yourselves the trouble and don’t go here!!!Student Review1y ago - Marcos De Niza High School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Average0 integrity, the only good thing about here is the teachers they really try their best, the problem is the students, 0 respect for teachers 0 parents involvement, bathroom is always occupied with kids vaping, girls and boys all around the teachers and classrooms kissing and touching like their in a privite room, and teachers cant even say anything because this brats are so sensitive that they cant accept responsibility of their actions, These kids also have the toilets so bad and gross pee, blood in toilets, lots of bad writing on the walls. Bad behavior from students education in Arizona ranks the lowest and behavior isnt any better this school definently dosent deserve an A+.Parent Review11mo ago
