I had been at this school for two years and watched as my student continued to get straight "A"s but couldn't do any of the basic grammar or math. I was forced to withdraw my student out of the school because of the gross failings and constant lying of the new principal. It was a fortunate event as that's when I discovered that my 5th grader doesn't understand a sentence or parts of speech. My student was so overly anxious due to the intense pressure placed on them by some of the staff and now that they are out of that toxic environment, my student has vastly improved and her doctor noticed the huge difference has noted it on their chart. Teachers and staff at the school have been heard to yell at the students instead of talking with them. Now I see they have put their sign up for kindergarten roundup. Truly, a responsible parent will take their voucher and find a better elementary school. Vail even gave a teacher who has a solid reputation as someone who screams at parents and students, teacher of the year. This is definitely NOT a school for conditioned children. I fought for a 504 that they ignored. They forcibly try and treat conditioned kids "normally". These kids have to fight daily to get their needs met unless a paramore is hired. This school even forces kids to do homework that the school provides incorrect answers to. How is this school an "A" school or is this why Arizona ranks last in education?

We love Vail Academy and High School! We have had both our children here since kindergarten and they are now in 7th and 5th grades. It is very easy to communicate with teachers, staff, and administration. Having currently around 450 students total for grades k-12, it is easy to get to know each other, spend one on one time with teachers, and enjoy smaller class sizes. Vail Academy has a strong community feel with teachers that continually go above and beyond to ensure their student’s success in and out of the classroom.
