Mrs Moreno at Rhodes Jr. High has been extremely helpful in helping me multiple times to get my child transferred to this school. She has been extremely professional and always polite. She listens to my questions and her answers give my clarity to my questions. She has been prompt in replying back to me. I really appreciate everything she has done for me during the changing of schools.

I'm about to ruffle some feathers. Yet I personally don't care. I'm disappointed due to the fact. That this schedule came highly recommended. From various parents and adults overall. My child started this school. Brand spanking new but the principal. At my daughters previous school. Bad mouth me to staff at Roosevelt. To the point where staff. Such as the teacher and principal. We're making snide remarks about me. To or in front of my child. And because my child informed me. Everytime I'd confront the staff. The teacher was petty and ignored my messages. Surrounding my daughters education overall. Intentionally giving my child assignments above her comprehension. And when I'd speak on my concerns. The very nasty principal would. Target my child pulling her. Out of class disrupting her learning time. Pretending niceness towards my child. Around other staff members yet being mean. During the interaction while alone with my child. She'd call my daughter name's. And would comment on my looks. Which is very unprofessional and quite frankly. Had nothing to do with;the price of tea in China. From my understanding instead of. The teacher and principal doing their job. By providing structure and safety. Their time was filled with fraternization. Of any male entering school grounds. Or harassing my child to spite me. My child began not wanting to attend school. That's when I knew. I had to remove her from Roosevelt. I had enough on them. To file a formal complaint. With an Ombudsman or board of education. Yet I opted to remove my child. Also my child wasn't having. Her needs met from an academic standpoint. She wasn't being taught properly. Or treated fairly in my opinion. And the way that things were going. I knew that my child. Would've been just shuffled through. To the next grade without proper knowledge.

I know there’s a lot of complaints about Dobson, but honestly, I think this school is great! I want to point out, this school makes everyone go through weapon detectors every day, and they have advanced cameras and vape detectors everywhere, and a pre-recorded system in case the school goes on lockdown. You will be much safer at Dobson than many other high schools in this area. A few other things: The lunch is alright, and I especially love their chicken and waffles. It’s pre-made, and they could have fresher fruits and veggies. But overall, it’s alright. They have much more electives to choose from, unlike many other High School, and overall, the Mesa school district is much more better funded and doing much better than other school districts in Arizona. The library is pretty good too. They have diverse books, and they never ban them. I think they could add more new releases, but the librarians told me that they’re actively improving the selection, and so far, I think they are! Unfortunately, they got rid of their driver’s ed a few years ago due to staffing issues, so your only option is to go to a driver’s school that costs a fortune if you can’t have anyone else teach you. The teachers have supported me in trying to improve my grades I’ve had at the beginning of the year, and I’m pretty grateful to be at this school. I can’t wait to see what comes next!
