This school is horrible. None of the kids or staff care about you, there is constant bullying from left and right and NO ONE does anything about it. They don't even do anything about sexual harassment. Me and my friend went to the PRINCIPAL of the school and reported how we were getting sexually harassed verbally and the principal only said "we'll talk to him" and that's it. That's all they ever did. No one ever does anything for you in this school. It is a living nightmare. It will ruin your mental health. The only way you'll ever pass in this school is if you're popular and smart. No one cares for the kids who struggle. No one cares for the kids with autism. No one cares at all. I hate this school, Fort Defiance and Stewart Middle school are HORRIBLE. They do nothing to aid you, nothing to help you. They don't care about you. They'll only ever care about you if you have good grades and are athletic. I'm so sick of this school, it's completely ruined me.

My children attend this school and it has been a great experience for them. They staff is really involved in making everyday interesting and fun for the kids. The teachers are great about keeping the kids challenged and motivated throughout the year. They look forward to going everyday and are excited to talk about their days when they get home. What more could a parent want!

Overall, an amazing school. The majority of teachers ensure that you are actually learning while keeping the class engaging, bullying is not at all an issue, and the “exploritory” system allows students to chose a skill to learn about, such as technology, agriculture, and art.
