North Mesa Elementary School

My daughter went to school here from preschool until 5th grade and never had bad year. In fact, she almost never even had a bad day. The principal has been there for years, there is very little staff turnover. Year after year, I see the same calm friendly faces in the hallways at teacher conferences and school events. My son has been there from preschool and is in 2nd grade here. Same for him. Never a bad year and almost never even a bad day. I think very highly of this school and am grateful that it is close to us. My daughter has now entered middle school and the contrast is huge. She is deeply unhappy and we are considering other school options. I am writing this review because I kind of feel like the official stats don't accurately portray what a quality school South Mesa is.
