This school used to be exceptional. My two kids have attended Mesquite for the last three years. The first two years were awesome. The teachers were fun and enthusiastic about teaching and the Principal was the best. She was fun and cared for those kids as if they were her own. The kids loved her. S
Posted by a parent on 6/2/2015I want to give a shout out to the outstanding Mesquite Orchestra Teacher Mrs. Janet Jones who freely volunteers her time to students three days a week before school. She has taken a strong interest in providing music education to Mesquite students on a professional level that has proven to be very s
Posted by a parent on 5/24/2014My 3 kids grades 1,3 and 6 all had a great year there this year. Yes, the class sizes are big, but the teachers all did a great job at doing the best to teach all levels of students. If you feel your child is falling behind, then get into the classroom and see what you can do to help
Posted by a parent on 5/23/2014Mesquite elementary-my daughter went to second-grade there. She was lost in the shuffle. She had one teacher with 37 students in her class. She did not do very well there. There was no communication with the parents. Homework never got sent home graded. For midsemester conferences you were brought i
Posted by a parent on 3/30/2014My two kids (2nd grade and KG) attended Mesquite Elementary School (MES), Yuma, AZ in 2012. Based on my comparison with other school, MES is one of the best in town. The best thing I saw are the following; great and very active principal (down to earth type for kids and parents), my kids teachers we

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe kids are packed into rooms nearly 40 in a class. The district is not addressing the issue. They NEED to do something about this. As a parent I am concerned not only about the education of my child is getting with a 38:1 ratio but also about their safety.Parent Review6y ago - Ronald Reagan Fundamental School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAbsolutely 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.Parent Review1y ago - Valley Horizon Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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!Other Review3y ago - Pueblo Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOver 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.Parent Review6y ago - Gary A. Knox Elementary School
