My granddaughter, now in 2nd grade, has gone to Donaldson since arriving 3 months into the school year during kindergarten. She was not kindergarten ready when she arrived, but the school put together an excellent plan, lots of resources, and great staff and within 2-3 months she had caught up with

Posted by a parent on 5/16/2019Absolutely AMAZING staff at this school!!! We switched from home schooling out of state due to a poor experience at public school in our small, rural state to public school at Donaldson. We thought in a good-sized city like Tucson we wouldn't have a good experience, but both of our children love it
Posted by a parent on 1/25/2016My child is in the special needs but also integrated into the other classroom with the other students in the 1st grade and I love that the school does that because it helps her feel accepted. The teachers at the school are amazing and really should get recognized for the hard work that they put in e
Posted by a parent on 1/5/2016I've had 3 children attend Donaldson and have always found the administration and teachers willing to find ways to academically challenge my child.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHarelson is a fantastic school choice, with just the right mix of oversight, rigor, extra-curricular activities, and absolute love for the kids as a whole. In my experience, my daughter had fantastic teachers the entire time she was there and was more than prepared to transition to middle school. Its really nice that the middle school is right next door, so as the kids grow they have opportunity to interact (at times) with the other campus and mentor students to see their progression. Harelson is great at encouraging character growth, kindness, and responsibility through positive reinforcement. However, they are well equipped to handle issues as they arise and they do a great job. The principal is very professional, highly involved, and easy to talk to, as he should be. He has a great rapport with the teachers and students.Parent Review4y ago - Mesa Verde Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePrincipal Tracy is amazing. School community is amazing. The school is big on teaching kindness and social/ emotional skills. Would’ve liked to see more homework, parent opportunities to volunteer especially in the older grades and in the special needs classroom.Parent Review4y ago - Butterfield Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would give this school a 10 out of 10. I was skeptical and weary about having my second son start here after my first son (9 years older) had an extremely difficult time here. In the years, the atmosphere has completely changed. I find Butterfield Elementary to be a warm an inviting environment for son. The educators are amazing in how they interact with the children. They are kind, understanding and encouraging, that means the works to us.Parent Review7y ago - St. Odilia Catholic School
