Myers-Ganoung Elementary School

I used to go to this school, up until 2023. I disliked this school a lot, mainly because of all the bullying. I wasn't a target of it, but kids would get bullied/made fun of all the time. Kids would come into the school & hop the fence after school and vandalize, mess up playgrounds etc. Me and my friends would come after school & climb over the fence to play hide n seek, and manhunt but other kids in grades lower than me would climb on top of the roof, and older kids would hang out and do some stuff their parents wouldn't like. There's only one class per grade, and the other school one base, Sonoran Science Academy, recently shut down. All those kids are going to Vail, like I do now. Don't waste time trying to send your kids here. They can take a 40 minute bus ride and not get made fun of, bullied, and exposed to things they shouldn't be.

Nicole walsh is not to be trusted around children.

Great diversity. Highly qualified teachers. Staff permanent with only a few long term subs. Test scores in line with rest of district. I work here & confidently bring my kids to Roberts/ Naylor.

I love this school, and I work here on a part-time basis. Mr. Schiavone is an amazing principal, and the dean of students, Ms. Dierksen, is also very on point, and they work wonders with the kids. The school is very diverse, and the kids are well-behaved and happy to be there! Kudos to Bonillas!

I enrolled both of my children at this school—my son attended from kindergarten through 5th grade, and my daughter from kindergarten through 2nd. Over the years, I’ve observed a steady decline in the overall quality of the school experience.One of the most concerning issues has been the lack of priest involvement and transparency regarding how funds are allocated between the church and the school. It often feels as though the school receives minimal resources while the church absorbs the majority of the funding.There is also a high turnover rate among both students and staff, which creates instability and affects the school environment. Morale among parents and teachers has noticeably diminished, and there is little to no enrichment offered—field trips, for example, have been nonexistent. Communication between staff and families has been inconsistent, and academic recognition has seemed generic and unearned, with many students receiving the same awards without clear criteria.Additionally, simple but important maintenance issues, such as changing drinking fountain filters, have gone unaddressed. These oversights suggest poor financial management, whether the school is funded through scholarships or tuition.While I truly wanted to support this school and see it succeed, I cannot in good conscience recommend it. There are other schools in the area that offer a more stable, transparent, and enriching educational experience.
