This is a true Elementary School. Many schools are K-8 and over populated to cut down on budget. We love this school for so many reasons. Moved just to be at this school.

This school is the best! The staff is amazing and I am thrilled with the education my kids receive. My children are challenged but supported. My children are given academic rigor mixed with amazing arts experiences. Can't believe this is a public school!

This school mean family to us, my child went there for three years and it felt so safe to send him at this school. Director of school is very very supportive, teachers are well trained for Montessori learning environment. My child always loved to go to school, currently he is in second grade he love to do his summer school at Cave Creek. By the time my child graduated he was already a grade level ahead. its a good combination of play and learning at the same time. I totally recommend this school if you are looking a family for your child.
