As much as I want to support my child's education provider, the facility, staff and program are lacking. The teachers have far to many kids, staff mopes around clinging to their coffee's in one hand, and keys in another; not engaging in the children around them. Admin staff is complacent and defensive instead of welcoming feedback. Currently looking for other education options.

My child has gone to Connolly for less than one academic school year. The staff has repeatedly instigated her to argue with them to get them thrown out of the classrooms. One teacher has been reported multiple times by children, parents and even staff make comments that she is very unprofessional in her class. Even to the point of cursing and throwing desks and chairs. The administration has been notified and nothing has changed. I would remove my child if we had better options however we are limited on where they can go. If you have a choice DO NOT enroll your child here.

Spracale Elementary School is a treasure to the Tempe community and among the best in the district! Our family made the choice to open enroll (we live in the Mesa School District) and it was absolutely the best decision we could make for your children. Every teacher and staff member is welcoming, professional, and truly understands what it takes to enrich students both academically and socially. As a parent, I have always appreciated the open lines of communication that teachers have established and the memorable activities that are planned. The office staff and administration team are incredibly helpful and kind. They run a tight ship but always with a smile! Spracale also values the importance of hands-on and project based learning as well as meeting the strengths of all children. They have a flourishing music program, top notch PACE teacher, access to a school garden, many opportunities for physical activities, and really...I could go on. But in a nutshell, Spracale is best if experienced first hand!

This school is honestly really nice for academics. It offers so many countless opportunities. Its main focus is college readiness. They will get you there no matter how much it takes. They offer Honors and IB classes so regularly to students under no pressure. I recommend if your child is really ahead or have a clear passion for their career and education. They even offer opportunities to students who have trouble in school I’ve noticed. They offer trade school to students who are working towards their career and a standard CTE class helps a lot. Lastly, their special education program is really nice.
