Paul Revere Middle School should not be attended by any child who is gifted or has a 504. I asked about the GATE program and the lead counselor actually laughed. I have to distribute the 504 to the teachers ( allergies) and discovered administration did not give it to them .There are fights all the time. The administration only communicates with the head of the booster club- Pride, especially during emergencies. It's pretty much a clique with toxic parent WhatsApp groups. Working with the counselors is an absolute nightmare, they will try to discourage your child from any challenging class; I have examples but the school would know who I am and potentially take it out on my child. Additionally, the magnet is not self contained. In the tours they sell it like it is a school within a school with attention for your advanced learner. But, it is really just 1800 kids that go to school together and you are just a number. Lots of MAGA families. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRISON.

Canyon Elementary is an amazing school. If you’re looking for a great education and a strong parent community, this is your spot. For public school, I could not be more impressed with the dedication the teachers and teacher aids, not to mention resource teachers provide. This school has PE, music, drama, art and resource teachers. Smaller class sizes, field trips and incredible events. An Olympian comes to speak each year, etc. We just love it here and have made family friends for life.

School consistently violates section 504 and does not adhere to the rules. This is an independent charter school who will not spend a dime if they can for a 504 qualified student. They claim 'academic excellence", while suppressing the ones that need the assistance. They specifically ignore girls with ADHD learning disabilities and refuse accommodations. You think they would have learned the first time they violated it. They just create new ways to violate it and discriminate.
