El Mirage is a great school. The teachers are caring, work hard to help all students and it is very welcoming. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure that all students get what they need! They also have a great school culture. Bullying is not tolerated. My children love going and learn so much!

Honestly very disappointed with the assistant principal at this school. Interactions come across as dismissive and unhelpful, and when concerns are brought forward, the response feels more like deflection than support. There doesn’t seem to be much ownership of issues, and instead things get pushed back onto teachers, students, or families. I’ve also witnessed and heard conversations that felt unprofessional for a school setting, especially in areas where families are present. It creates an uncomfortable environment and does not build trust. Overall, it does not feel like leadership that is supportive, solution-oriented, or focused on what’s best for students, which is frustrating to see.

My son fell during P.E. And fractured his wrist and I was not notified of the incident. He also experienced an accident because he was not allowed to use the restroom in a timely manner, and again, I received no communication. Instead, he was given pants that did not fit him. The nurse informed me that they were not required to call because it was “not an emergency,” but I consider it an urgent matter when the school does not have appropriate clothing available for my child. No resolution was given. Every time I visit the office, I am met with unprofessional behavior. Staff members rarely greet parents and often respond with attitude or dismissive remarks such as, “What do you want?” or “What do you need?” The entire school as a whole LACKS communication and interaction skills.I am the type of parent who is more than willing to volunteer and support teachers and the school to ensure they have the necessary resources for our children. I try to be inclusive and helpful, but it is clear that the school does not prioritize the well-being of its students or maintain respectful communication with parents. It often feels as though the focus is on funding rather than the children themselves.For these reasons, I would not recommend this school to any family.

My experience is that not only are the teachers friendly so are the other people I come in contact with at this school from crossgaurds to the office staff. I feel safe leaving my children there. I do feel like every place in life there are some exceptional people and some you just don't like and I think it's unrealistic to love every teacher. When I am having troubles there is always more than one person at this school who cares about my child's welfare and education and that means alot to me. Some off the people at this school are the nicest people I have met. I believe that the teachers could be supported better and the district as a whole needs some improving the whole state of Arizona needs improvement with education. There are people at this school that work way into the night they give so much of there life's to help our children and I appreciate them.

My girl went to this school when she was 8 months great care no complaints can ever be made but in her preschool the first year kind of felt very drowsy she didn't have much enthusiasm which she had in abundance from the very first day and a new teacher came in and changed the whole scenario my child had full enjoyment she enjoys only when she is challenged. She is now out to another school for her higher studies. School basically family owned it has its own plus and minus. I'm happy I was able to enjoy its plus more than minus. Finally good school to improve the child's confidence and secured environment.
