It is a shame that there are students who are rude and disrespectful to not only each other, but teacher are rude well, My daughter is in 6th grade, and sits in a class where the teacher quit in the middle of the year. Apparently, she had it with the delinquents as well. Now, the classes have a subs
Posted by a parent on 4/2/2024Bullying is ignored and basically tolerated. Some teachers will even engage in the bullying.
Posted by a parent on 7/25/2023I would rate it 5 stars because I have had no problems and my son is doing very well. The teachers care about their students and help students who are struggling. School safety is a top priority.
Posted by a parent on 3/23/2019The teachers really care about the students. Morning tutoring is available which is helpful because of work schedule.
Posted by a community member on 8/22/2013Arizona Desert is committed to Excellence Everyday. Parents and teachers work together as a team to reach all of our student needs. Teachers are hard working, dedicated and truly believe that all students are capable of success--with not exceptions. I love AZD!

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt is a great school. The kids just make the teachers overwhelmed because a lot of kids are running in class and talking and stuff like that. We need more teachers like Ms.Barrios to be nice to kids and actually teach and help them better.Student Review3y ago - Sheely Farms Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has the worst staff .the principal is bias and does not go by district rules he is unprofessional, talks, mocks parents judges people by appearance. I say this cause this was my first encounter with principal. I was embarrassed, threatened and he had a bad temper we could not communicate with him as adults, parents defend your children in this school, listen to your children take.notes time date. this school is not recommended, check school ratingParent Review8mo ago - Sun Canyon School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI really really like this school for my child. She is truly thriving and she loves school. I have only ever came across teachers who truly care about the students. The admin team is very pleasant and very involved. I just love this school for my child. My daughter's teachers, The admin team, the office staff, the special area teachers, the champion teachers, they are all great! When you have an educator background, you pay attention and recognize certain things in schools. Every school is not perfect, but as an educator I love this school for my child.Parent Review4mo ago - Rio Vista Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy grandkids (4 ) LOVE this school! They are excited to go to school, really don’t like it when they have days off. They are uber excited to return after vacations. I have met the new principal and vice principal and a few of the teachers and I am very impressed. The library is AMAZING and every staff member is courteous and appears to know all kids by name. I attended an evening event in the art room where we learned how to paint a picture with acrylics and the art teacher is truly gifted in patience and guidance of her students. Incidents between students are handled with appropriate response and action with sensitivity for all parties. My grandkids are happy here at Amberlea Elementary and that’s huge!Other Review1y ago - Elite Preschool and Learning Center
