Very bad experience here. My son, one of only a few colored kids at the school, would complain of teachers being rude. Only one teacher he really liked. She gave us hope. But we constantly faced challenges with the community as well. At one point, my son did not eat his lunch for a couple days for he said they told him there was no more silverware in the cafeteria. No one was welcoming, only cold shoulders and stares. Would not recommend going here if you are person of color. They do not treat you right. Actions speak LOUDER than words.

My oldest son began his education in Scottsdale, where he had a good elementary school experience. However, he truly began to thrive after we moved to Cave Creek and he enrolled at Sonoran Trails Middle School. With no prior foreign language experience, he chose French as his elective and excelled! His passion for the language grew so much that he continued French for all four years at Cactus Shadows High School.Throughout both schools, we were continually impressed by the dedication and enthusiasm of the teachers and staff. They created an environment that fostered curiosity, confidence, and a genuine love for learning. My son graduated from Cactus Shadows High School in 2023 with outstanding grades, but even more meaningful to me is how fondly he reflects on his middle and high school years. The caring and committed educators in Cave Creek truly made a lasting impact on his life.

We haven't had any problems with the school. Have had a handful of kids come here as well. Great support from teachers, if kids will allow themselves to attend office hours as needed
