Red Mountain Ranch Elementary School

Elementary school is an essential foundation for every child’s academic and social development. As a parent of a current student, I can confidently say that my child’s elementary school experience has been one of the most memorable and valuable periods of her life. One of the things I appreciate the most about this school is the teachers. They are patient, kind, and passionate about their work. They always take the time to explain concepts and answer questions, which is making her learning enjoyable and engaging. The teachers also organized many activities and events that have helped her develop teamwork, leadership, and communication skills. Another aspect of my child’s elementary school that I love is the sense of community. The school is like a big family, and everyone looks out for one another. We have had many opportunities to participate in extracurricular activities such as music, chess club, lego club, drawing, and running club which has helped her make friends and discover new interests. Overall, our experience at Las Sendas elementary school has been one that we will cherish. It is providing a solid foundation for my child’s academic and social development, and I am grateful for the many wonderful memories and experiences that are there. I am a firm believer that every child deserves a high-quality elementary education that prepares them for success in life, and Las Sendas Elementary is certainly achieving this goal.

Not sure why my review on Google isn't appearing, I'll go another route.This school is one of the worst, unorganized, unapologetic schools I have ever experienced.My son have a retention disorder, and needed a specific SPI and this school could not get the ball rolling. After many phone calls and emails sent, the decision was made to go to another school. Once we made Mendoza aware of this transition, it was then Mendoza decided to get the ball rolling. It took exactly 89 days for them to come up with this plan - 89 out of the 90 days. Not to mention the typos, the misspelled words - it was almost as if they were talking about a completely different student. They have failed my son, and now he is getting the proper education he needs that far exceeds what Mendoza is willing to do.Another note, my nephew is currently enrolled in Mendoza - in which, the poor kid is getting bullied from a kid 4 times his size! We've called and spoke with the "receptionist" and it's always the same "brush off" answer. We've emailed the teacher and NOTHING has happened. Am I surprised with this? Not at all. ( We are still working on resolving this, it's been two months)Oh! Parents be AWARE that if you drop your kids off in the morning, they must wait till the cafeteria workers do a "role call" that no one can hear, and shuts and locks the doors after a brief call out. But, you think maybe other teachers can hear this role call? You think a teacher may help other students out? Not at Mendoza. There is zero supervision in the mornings - meaning there are NO teachers in the front watching these unsupervised kids. In today's messed up world, you'd think they would care, just a bit more.I would highly recommend any parent to explore other options than to take their kid to Mendoza Elementary.

Administrators and teachers are terrible with perhaps a couple exceptions. Mendoza or other schools in the area are better options.

I am lost on what to say; there are so many excellent things about this school. I went to this school since I was almost three. I knew no English at all; I only knew Vietnamese. But the amazing and friendly teachers there helped me learn this language for my future. The way that the students learn there is just smart. They play while they learn. Every month, there is a new theme that the teachers set up, such as Butterflies, a month when the children learn about butterflies. They also serve very healthy snacks, such as fruits and vegetables. They read daily to the kids, and play exciting games for young kids, such as "Copy Cat", and "Where is the doggy's bone". They teach kids fun songs to sing as well, such as "Good Morning". I currently attend the Mesa Academy for Advanced Studies, and this school helped me achieve this goal. I would recommend this school to anyone.
