My child suffered in this school. They are special needs and the teachers isolated, bullied and there was no support. When my child was sexualy harassed (another student was trying to take photos over the bathroom stall). The school principals never filed incident reports or returned our calls. They said they were going to investigate and ghosted us. There were also IEP Violations and instead of addressing then, the blame was put on the child or resources. My child is in 10th grade now, and still suffers trauma from these incidents. Thank goodness we moved!

I am a parent of a student at Webster elemnetary, and I would like to raise a concern about the current pick-up and drop-off situation. At present, there is no designated parking lot or safe area for parents to wait. This forces many of us to park on nearby side streets, where homeowners understandably get frustrated, and in some cases, we risk receiving citations due to limited legal parking spaces.Recently, I was cited for parking too close to a stop sign while waiting to pick up my child. Unfortunately, this highlights the fact that the current system is not working well for families or the surrounding neighborhood

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!
