Not sure why my review on Google isn't appearing, I'll go another route.This school is one of the worst, unorganized, unapologetic schools I have ever experienced.My son have a retention disorder, and needed a specific SPI and this school could not get the ball rolling. After many phone calls and emails sent, the decision was made to go to another school. Once we made Mendoza aware of this transition, it was then Mendoza decided to get the ball rolling. It took exactly 89 days for them to come up with this plan - 89 out of the 90 days. Not to mention the typos, the misspelled words - it was almost as if they were talking about a completely different student. They have failed my son, and now he is getting the proper education he needs that far exceeds what Mendoza is willing to do.Another note, my nephew is currently enrolled in Mendoza - in which, the poor kid is getting bullied from a kid 4 times his size! We've called and spoke with the "receptionist" and it's always the same "brush off" answer. We've emailed the teacher and NOTHING has happened. Am I surprised with this? Not at all. ( We are still working on resolving this, it's been two months)Oh! Parents be AWARE that if you drop your kids off in the morning, they must wait till the cafeteria workers do a "role call" that no one can hear, and shuts and locks the doors after a brief call out. But, you think maybe other teachers can hear this role call? You think a teacher may help other students out? Not at Mendoza. There is zero supervision in the mornings - meaning there are NO teachers in the front watching these unsupervised kids. In today's messed up world, you'd think they would care, just a bit more.I would highly recommend any parent to explore other options than to take their kid to Mendoza Elementary.

I have had 3 daughters go through Shepherd. They enjoyed their time. Two are now at ASU doing well and the third is in high school doing great. They liked most of their teachers and enjoyed Choir and Musical Theater. They were ready for high school with their math but that is because they worked hard and did their work. My daughters say many kids do not do their work and fall behind.

Been around the school for a few years since the grand kids have been going to Red Mtn High. 2023 graduation was very disappointing as far as being able to hear anything at all. During football season Tempe can hear the calls from the game and all the announcements. Tonight, there's a bunch of small speakers on the field that echo and the speakers cannot be understood. The sound needs to be routed through the ballgame announcement speakers overhead so the people in the stands that support the school can hear what the heck is being said. Ya'll dropped the ball on this. Very bad deal. Get on the ball and use the speakers for the field no matter what the game. Come on, get a grip.!!!
