Ironwood Elementary School

I love that my daughter’s teacher Mrs. Hill is very communicative with me about her school days and I love the fact that all the teachers and principal are very welcoming, supportive, and interactive of kids. It’s changed from when I went to school and I love it!

The GLC program was supposed to be an amazing place for our gifted kids. The only gifted magnet school in Phoenix, and their promises were many. Unfortunately, they are not as equipped for 2e students as they profess to be. My 99.9% but also autistic son had a real struggle here, culminating in teacher bullying and intimidation after only 2 years. Our daughter is gifted w/ ADHD, and had an easier time socially, but as another 99.9% she was not appropriately challenged by the program either. Principal completely ignored bullying from both students and teachers until I made a huge Karen-level deal about it, and continued to back the teachers even with provided evidence. Lots of gaslighting and 'I never said that' even though I have a recording of the meeting type of stuff. We should have stuck with homeschool, they just couldn't handle our profoundly gifted kids.

friendly, outgoing staff who have put extra effort in for my child when she needed it. The teachers are always willing to answer questions and get back to me quickly.

My family came here from public school and I am so thankful God opened the door for us to be at NCS. The love and care for each of my kids is evident. Of course it is not a perfect school but we aren't in heaven yet. NCS is very family oriented and desires to be open and welcoming to the families. We have loved the academic structure but also appreciate all the fun events and clubs. I can't thank God enough for making a way for us to be here and can defiantly feel the Holy Spirit present on campus.
