Posted by a parent on 7/11/2019This past school year I transferred my son to Wheeler because of problems with staff at his other school. I was nervous because of previous experience at another TUSD school, but I have been pleased with the outcome. My son comes home with an appropriate amount of homework, his teacher was very resp
Posted by a parent on 6/21/2017Severe parking issues, and inconsistent monitoring. There is only one parking lot with available spots. All other options are illegal parking, or in front of private residences. The north street is severely congested because of this. There is one very small parking area on the north end but not real
Posted by a community member on 11/23/2015Disappointed. It's supposed to be a Gold OMA school but the dance teacher left for a different school. So there wasn't any music or dance. How is that being an OMA school? While everyone else was attending their children's performances we had zero for the whole year.
Posted by a parent on 5/20/2015Most of the teacher at Wheeler are good. But the Principle has bully behavior, my child been there 5yrs. never a behavior problem for any of his teachers. Yet Stacie Emert seems to go out her way to find him and tell him must drink his milk, must pull up his pants, his waist band was showing under h

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWorst school my daughter has ever attended. The principal is extremely disrespectful to the children and the parents and the teachers make it very clear how they don’t care about their jobs. Also, $600 a month for the afterschool program, absolutely insane. Don’t even consider this school if you care about your children.Parent Review9mo ago - Borman Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Other Review1y ago - Dietz K-8 School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy family loves the Early Education program at Family Life Academy! The teachers and support staff are incredibly welcoming and create a safe, fun and highly engaging environment for my child. My child is excited to go to school to see the teachers and friends each day. I can tell my child has learned so much since starting at FLA two months ago. The teachers and staff are very communicative which is important to us and we love that it is a private Christian education for all that attend through 8th grade. I highly recommend this school! Thank you FLA!!!!Parent Review1y ago - Our Mother Of Sorrows School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is horrible, the students here don't learn anything knew, because the teacher's just give them awnswer's, some teacher's just like to stress out kid's, giving tn's of work that has to be due in a day or two and top it with ton's of homework. The teacher's like to teach with intimidation than patience, the rule's are also so useless, and stubborn. Not only that but they do not respect guardians or adults at all.Other Review3mo ago - Fountain of Life Lutheran School
