Chandler High School

I saw the Great Schools score of 3/10 and didn't want my son to go to Kinder here at first... but it was beginning of COVID and we couldn't get enrolled into our preferred school. So, we went to this school as our official 'home school', and prayed all would go well. Let me tell you, I am VERY IMPRESSED by the personable, encouraging staff, the curriculum, and even how they handled a budding bully experience in the 1st grade. My son is in a regular classroom, however is on an IEP. The special ed department takes the time to really get to know him and work with him as an individual. I have been nothing but impressed and thankful for the culture here, his main classroom teachers, the Dean of Students, and still getting to know the new Principal this year (so far so good!). My son has attended K-2nd grade here and I cannot recommend this school enough!

Great Staffs! Nice environment. I will recommend anyone in the district.

This school has sadly become a cesspool of bad culture. The previous school admin built the school into a beautiful, passionate place for children to be empowered and engage. New admin (5 years) has literally destroyed almost every program that the previous principal had put into place. We have never seen something so wonderful destroyed so quickly. Enrollment is down, families and teachers are fleeing. New admin has authoritarian style. I speak from personal knowledge and experience and can promise without any hesitation that the admin here DOES NOT care about what's best for a student. Admin misdirects staff, and will 100 percent retaliate against your child and your family. 1 year into new admin, THE ENTIRE PTO BOARD RESIGNED due to micromanagement by admin. The board was rebuilt and the following year, EVERYONE RESIGNED AGAIN except for the President who is still on board and is still under control of the admin and is just as horrific. WhatsAPP groups were formed for parents to freely discuss topics outside of the schools scrutiny. Admins have been hand selected for each whatsapp group and actively delete comments that could be considered critical of the school and then directed to take it up with the principal. Admin will also lie through their teeth, I used to think it was ignorance but sadly its just flat out lying. So many wonderful options in CUSD. Steer clear of this school if you really want whats best for your child. Knox has very little to offer any student and their family.

My child has almost completed his first year at Conley (in the Pre-K program) and absolutely loves going to school each morning! He has been learning every skill necessary for the next grade level and I feel fully confident that he will excel next year as well. The teachers and the staff are constantly saying hello and good-bye to the students each day - and most know each student by name! They have a new Innovation lab that just opened and I cannot wait for him to be able to explore all of the fun clubs that will be available as he grows!

We love this school, we’re really proud of our children , they have developed into strong individuals.
