9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSchool placed protective order 8/8/25 without proof. I had to call police to have access to my daughter I have had full custody of since birth. Additional, WE LIVE IN NEVADA. 8/8/25 after police i picked up my baby, said she won't be back as we dont even live in AZ. Received absence letter that included 8/8/25 the ONE day she attended, I spoke with the principal and reception! If I do not get a corrected letter in the mail I will be suing and do not believe you should trust this school with your child as they cannot verify legal documentation placing children and families at risk and FAILED to even verify the ONE day my child attended in August update letter signed by Dana Lineberger. I am following up with ever agency necessary moving forward because someone is failing at their job at Rover Elementary School.Parent Review8mo ago - Fees College Preparatory Middle School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible, as an 8th grader, this school is a bad choice. Some girls like drama, I’ll admit I do too, but this school is too much drama. You will most likely get into fights, the girls are very rude and mostly all of the kids are disrespectful. The teachers don’t really care that much and a lot of them are people you don’t really look forward to seeing. Save yourselves the trouble and don’t go here!!!Student Review1y ago - Marcos De Niza High School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Average0 integrity, the only good thing about here is the teachers they really try their best, the problem is the students, 0 respect for teachers 0 parents involvement, bathroom is always occupied with kids vaping, girls and boys all around the teachers and classrooms kissing and touching like their in a privite room, and teachers cant even say anything because this brats are so sensitive that they cant accept responsibility of their actions, These kids also have the toilets so bad and gross pee, blood in toilets, lots of bad writing on the walls. Bad behavior from students education in Arizona ranks the lowest and behavior isnt any better this school definently dosent deserve an A+.Parent Review11mo ago
