The teachers love teaching and they go to great lengths to assist students. Students show the CHS Way on campus. The staff is caring, creative, and empowering.

New leadership and a complete shift in the entire South Scottsdale community is building Tonalea up! Tonalea has been notoriously known for its bullying and roughness and until this school year things were not changing. Principal Villa has stepped up and in and he has created an incredible environment on his campus making kids safe, comfortable and accountable. We moved to the South Scottsdale area and we decided to buy in to our neighborhood schools and it was the best decision we could have made. While academics have been pretty low at this school we decided to have our kids be apart of the solution. Work hard, study for quizzes and tests, and show up every day ready to learn. With this message and the hard work and dedication from our teachers, we are only bound to succeed. I encourage all families in the area to be apart of the solution and build these schools up.

i am a sophmore and i did SOL my freshman year and am still doing it now. i originally just did it because of covid but now it's kind of stayed. My parents like that I am doing this program because it's easy to get good grades. The stuff is super simple and you're allowed to use your notes for the assessments. It was easy last year when our finals got canceled because of covid but not this year! when we had finals, I wasn't prepared at all because of this and I didn't do good on those tests. also, you are always feeling over pressured. it's SO easy to get caught behind, everyone always turns in their stuff like a week late. they're lenient but you are not learning much. also, there's no school activities or events where the online students can do something fun. kind of sucks which is why I want to go to back to school next year. also...teachers are horrible. they never help, like EVER. they never reply to emails and then say "they never saw it" when I double send it. they never help you with assignments and give you bad grades and then don't even tell you what you got wrong or why they gave you that grade. i had to get separate tutoring since they do absolutely nothing and there's pretty much no way to communicate with them. overall, I don't recommend, like yes, you can get good grades, but you can also get good grades with regular school if you try hard enough and there you can actually have teachers u can physically talk to.
