Continental Tempe

My daughter has had a wonderful experience at Waggoner Elementary. The teachers are great and my daughter is thriving academically and socially.

The principal is extremely inconsiderate of other people’s time. Extremely rude and disrespectful.

In February 2020, my family and I moved to the Mariposa neighborhood. At the time, I attended a charter school, but about a year and a half later, when I was in third grade, my parents decided to move me to Mariposa for a variety of reasons. Now, I can confidently say that it was one of the best decisions they have ever made for me.When I started at Mariposa, we did not fully know what to expect. On my first day of school, I was welcomed by amazing teachers, staff members, and administrators. The students were wonderful, and I quickly made friends. Now, as an eighth grader, I still have many of those same friendships.One unique part of my story is that I have hearing loss, which was naturally a concern when I entered a new school. As it turned out, I received a tremendous amount of support. I was even honored as a Kyrene Super Student, one of the highest recognitions in our district. I could not have earned this award without the amazing people at Mariposa.Since graduating from Mariposa, I have built even stronger relationships with the people there, and our community is stronger than ever. If you want to make one of the best decisions possible for your child, I highly recommend sending them to Mariposa. It truly is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me.
