Crossroads

My son has ADHD, and this school has truly been life-changing for him. He thrives with the structure and consistency of the Franklin program, and we’ve seen tremendous growth in both his academic skills and his confidence. Every staff member he interacts with greets him with genuine care, and he comes home talking about how they make him feel seen and supported. He is excited to go to school every single day—a feeling we never take for granted. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Franklin Downtown and are so grateful for the environment, routines, and relationships that have helped him shine.

Mi hijo estudio aqui de kinder a 6o grado. Mi esposo y yo también tuvimos la oportunidad de estudiar aqui como adultos por parte del programa FLP que la escuela ofrece. En general la experiencia fue buena. Las malas opiniones que tiene de varios años atraz creo que no le hacen justicia al trabajo académico actual de la escuela. Checar el nivel poblacional y la calificación que la escuela tiene actualmente, seria una base razonable para determinar si es o no una buena opción educativa. La comunidad en este plantel suele ser funcional.El aula de los estudiantes suelen proveer lo necesario para un aprendizaje mas fluido y en nuestra experiencia en varias ocasiones se nos ayudó mas de lo que nuestras expectativas hubiesen imaginado.La trabajadora social hace un buen trabajo siendo empatica, afectiva y es buena proveedora de información importante y actualizada con recursos que ofrece la comunidad, entre otros.Mi hijo hace 6 años se graduó de Adams y seguimos teniendo buena relación con maestras, directora, trabajadora social, etc. El equipo sigue siendo punto de apoyo para nuestra familia en general, cosa que agradecemos mucho pues eso habla de la buena comunión que hay con respecto a la misión de esta escuela primaria.

Lincoln is a little diamond in the rough. My kids attended another Mesa elementary school and we had a bad experience. We changed to Lincoln and what a difference! Lincoln has an amazing group of teachers, support staff, administrators and students! Everyone wants my kids to succeed! Bullying is not tolerated. I would highly recommend Lincoln to anyone!

Redbird is a great school with a great community.

The school principal bullies and physically grabs students. The security camera at the school conveniently malfunctions whenever complaints about the principal are raised. Teachers claim to be concerned but they only focus on students who exhibit disruptive behavior and refer them to special education. Students are told to behave well when visitors are coming. Children like my daughter who is quiet goes unnoticed that she struggles with reading until it is time for state testing. During happy hours teachers mock the families they dislike. Parents are really not welcome. We left that school.

I would say overall it was an enormous waste of our money and of our children's time. By the time we took our students out of this school they were so far behind (in math in particular) that it was embarrassing to them at their new schools.
