Tumbleweed Elementary School

Unfortunately, this school has declined in quality. Many of the newer teachers are not certified or qualified to teach, and they often lack classroom management skills, creating negative learning environments. While there are still some outstanding teachers and staff members, if your child is not fortunate enough to be placed with one of them, they may quickly learn to dislike school.The administration does little to support either parents or teachers. They will listen to your concerns only to dismiss them without meaningful action. In some cases, lunch personnel and recess monitors are used as long-term substitutes, which is unacceptable.The facilities are outdated, and the before- and after-school care program is overpriced. Worse, students are left waiting outside for 20–30 minutes after dismissal in extreme heat, often over 100 degrees. Car pick-up is poorly managed as well, taking 20–30 minutes on a regular basis.Finally, although the school advertises itself as a “traditional” school, it uses the same curriculum as other district schools. They do not differentiate instruction or challenge advanced students as they claim.

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!

Sunset has been a wonderful school for my daughter! She has learned so much and grown! When we moved to Arizona she went to Surprise Elementary and it wasn’t the best experience. Huge shout out to all the teachers so many I appreciate I couldn’t even begin to say. But I will say EVERY SINGLE person that works and takes care of our kids there are the top tier of choices. Natalia is the front office goes above and beyond for the kids and parents. Thank you for everything you’re all amazing! Thank you!

The school has amazing students and parents. The staff are really nice and very accomodating.
