This school is terrible. The principal is incompetent and has no idea what she is doing. They say they have zero tolerance for bullying but they actually have a 99 percent tolerance policy. One evil child is making life hell for over 14 students but she is still allowed to attend school and walk the halls bullying and threatening other students. I had to remove my child because of that student after she was beat up in the hall with absolutely no teacher intervention. Several other students left because of that student as well but she is still allowed to stay. If you move to the area, find a good charter school. You do not want your child in this district.

I dislike this school for many reasons, even younker seemed a whole lot better. This school had mold, the food was dry or horrible, the teachers seemed to not understand students or seem disrespectful in a way. The school also makes the students work work work and the nurse doesn't seem as gentle or has trust issues among kids who are actually sick. They sometimes don't even notice kids Ditching and they don't get things finished as quickly, they seem to not notice students smoking and the teachers seem to not notice a lot of bullying. Like a lot. The one math teacher isn't good with teaching as she's used to seniors and freshmen and isn't good with teaching freshmen at all and excepts them to know how to do something there new too. Kids who struggle with work or stuff shouldn't belong here.

My children have been to schools in Tempe, Scottsdale, San Tan Valley and now at Peralta, and we have had a better experience at Peralta than anywhere else. From my first encounter with the office staff, to meeting the teachers, everyone has been kind and respectful. My children loved their teachers. They make sure to keep parents in the loop with class dojo, emails and flyers. They have lots of school activities that involve the whole community, such as a Halloween festival and steam nights. I'm so glad to have found a great school for my kids, after everything that's been going on in the world these past few years.
