Pima County Jted - Master Pieces

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 her peers and went on to have an outstanding school year. There is a lot of team spirit at Donaldson and I have found ALL the staff - from the lunchroom to the office to the classroom to be excellent and very dedicated to providing the best possible environment for their children. I don't know why it only gets 5 out of 10 in this rating system. I would put them at a 9!

My oldest son went to special ed preschool at Walker and is now in third grade at Walker as well as my middle child who is in kindergarten at Walker. We love the staff, students and other parents at this school. The staff goes above and beyond on a daily basis.

I 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.
