New leadership and a complete shift in the entire South Scottsdale community is building Tonalea up! Tonalea has been notoriously known for its bullying and roughness and until this school year things were not changing. Principal Villa has stepped up and in and he has created an incredible environment on his campus making kids safe, comfortable and accountable. We moved to the South Scottsdale area and we decided to buy in to our neighborhood schools and it was the best decision we could have made. While academics have been pretty low at this school we decided to have our kids be apart of the solution. Work hard, study for quizzes and tests, and show up every day ready to learn. With this message and the hard work and dedication from our teachers, we are only bound to succeed. I encourage all families in the area to be apart of the solution and build these schools up.

Yavapai has been an amazing community to be apart of. My family is new to the Coronado Learning Community and Yavapai has done an incredible job at displaying why we should continue our children to Tonalea and then Coronado High School. The teachers are ready every single day to make an impact and to get your kids to the next level, benchmark, or whatever it may be. The principal has done a great job at displaying her leadership working hard at putting together family events and experiences for families on her campus every chance she gets. While Yavapai received a B rating for academics last school year many of us parents are committed to helping and encouraging our students to focus every day and as the trend shows, we will continue to increase that grade. If you live in the area, choose Yavapai and the Coronado Learning Community.
