We moved to this neighborhood because of Boulder Creek. It's the end of our second year at this school, and we are so happy with it!A-rated, award-winning, and named #1 K-8 in AZ for two years in a row for both public AND charter!The community is vibrant and joyful. The school (and surrounding neighborhood!) is very safe for the floods of children walking home every day. The teachers are passionate and good at what they do. The gifted program is engaging. The SPED support is vast. The PTO is huge and super involved. The school/PTO/community events are enriching for the entire family, and there is so much school pride.Our new principal is a strong, dedicated, and warm leader, and she's "one of us"—born and raised in Phoenix, an ASU grad, and with almost 30 years of service to PVUSD as an educator. My husband and I are AZ natives and products of the PV district ourselves, so we love to see it.Go Bobcats!

I’ve been very disappointed with this school’s decision to allow a student club called Turning Point to operate on campus, distribute Trump propaganda, and promote speakers like Charlie Kirk. In my view, this organization spreads hate, division, and intimidation, not healthy civic discussion.What concerns me even more is that the school has already had to remove controversial content tied to this group—messages like “wear your MAGA hat to school today”—and there have been posts/supportive messaging around ICE, which is deeply inappropriate and polarizing in a school environment.I understand that people have different political beliefs. But school should not be a platform for political propaganda, especially in a diverse campus with students from many different nationalities and backgrounds. Allowing a club that repeatedly promotes inflammatory and divisive messaging is, frankly, outrageous and creates a hostile environment for students who already feel vulnerable.I would like to know:•What standards the school uses to approve and monitor student clubs•How the school is ensuring this club is not promoting harassment or political intimidation•What safeguards are in place to protect students from targeted or discriminatory messagingThis situation needs to be addressed.

As a parent, there’s nothing more painful than watching your child be treated as if they don’t belong. My child deserved better. What they experienced wasn’t just neglect—it was targeted, dismissive, and racially charged, often at the hands of other students, while the school stood by.We came to this school hoping for opportunity, growth, and care. Instead, we found a system that consistently overlooked and minimized their pain. Multiple events left emotional scars that my child will carry for years.This isn’t about a single moment. It’s about a pattern—a culture—that leaves students of color feeling invisible, unheard, and unworthy.To other parents: pay attention. Ask questions. Watch how your child is treated when no one thinks you’re watching.And to the school: I hope you do better. I hope you start listening. Because no child should ever walk into a classroom and feel like they don’t belong.
