H L Suverkrup Elementary School

Absolutely unacceptable and heartbreaking experience. Bullying is rampant at Crane Schools, and nothing is being done to stop it. My child was left with visible, repeated injuries due to bullying, and despite multiple complaints, the teachers and the principal showed little to no concern. The principal promised to schedule a meeting to address the issue—months later, we’re still waiting.The staff constantly targets my child, blaming them instead of holding the real aggressors accountable. The school operates on what feels like the lowest budget imaginable, and it clearly shows in the lack of training, structure, and basic child safety. Children are left unsupervised before and after school, and I’ve personally witnessed older students hitting and harassing younger ones without any adult intervention.The neglect and lack of response from the district is just as disturbing. I’ve documented a significant amount of evidence showing clear negligence and unsafe conditions—this school should be investigated. No child should be made to feel unsafe at school, and no parent should be ignored when pleading for help.Do not send your child here. Their safety, education, and well-being are not a priority.

I attended this school along time ago back in the day and I really hated it. This school does not care at all for anyone and it seems to me after all these years it hasn’t changed a bit. Well I no longer live in the vicinity of Yuma county and I will never live in this state nor country again!

Over all, I am dissatisfied with this school as a whole. I will be transferring my student out ASAP. Crane district is very overwhelmed with the amount of students it has, and each Crane school I've looked into thus far has a waiting list.

Please avoid this school if you care about your child and their well being. Admin, Sheila Mendoza, is only their for her own benefit. She does not care about the students or staff. It’s a shame she is still a principal there.

The students love the school and are eager to learn. The teachers enjoy teaching their students and my child really enjoys going back to school everyday.

I have recently graduated from Gowan Science Academy as the first class to go all the way from K-8, being in this school for so long has made the people around me become like family. This school does a great job at ensuring that all students are treated equally. Gowan has not only taught me all of the academic standards, they have also taught me how to be a better person. This is because of the amazing staff. The teachers are wonderful, they are what truly what makes this school so amazing. Another factor of how amazing this school is are the administrators, everyone of them make you feel welcome when you walk in those doors, despite having 9 grade levels to look over they still make you feel as important and heard as everyone else. I truly do not believe I have had one regret about joining this school in the 9 years that I attended. With this being said, Gowan is an amazing school that deserves its A+ rating.
