This school has been one of the most frustrating experiences for my family. As a parent, it is extremely disappointing to see how certain teachers continue receiving complaints from students and parents, yet nothing seems to be done to help the students affected.My son has worked hard for years, and now he may not be able to walk at graduation over only 0.5 credits because of issues involving the way a specific class was taught and graded. What makes this even more concerning is that my other son experienced similar problems with the same teacher in previous years.Instead of supporting students and helping them succeed, it feels like the administration ignores serious concerns until it is too late. Communication from the school has also been very poor, and trying to get answers or solutions has been extremely difficult.Graduation is a major milestone for any teenager, and schools should be focused on helping students reach that moment, not making it harder for them. I truly hope the district takes a closer look at the complaints being made by families because students deserve better support and better leadership.

Children are physically fighting every other day. This school has a terrible reputation amongst those who live in the southwest.

My oldest was at Don and Dee Snyder k-5 and my other two children are currently attending. Myself and all three kids have absolutely loved this school and this staff. The administration at this school is amazing, loving and supportive. Mrs. Dalton the principal truly cares about the school, the kids and the community. I have had to personally meet with Mrs. Lopez the assistant principal multiple times about various issues with my kids. Every time we spoke she was kind, respectful and fair. I know my kids are not saints and were at fault in some situations but she was always understanding, kind and fair to my kids and me in those situations. I saw someone mention that they were not called when their kids spoke to the assistant principal and that they are not allowed to do that but that is untrue. Would it be nice if they could call every time? Yes. But do they have to? No. I bet that would be a lot of phone calls! I have spoke with Mrs. Wichman once as well and she took the time to explain things to me when I wasn't clear about the process. One of my children has a 504 and the team was amazing about working with us on accommodations and all the teachers have been so supportive in my kids emotional health. Can't say enough great things about this school!
