Navajo Elementary School

Unsatisfied with new administration, although most teachers are great, they can’t escape bad management

This school does absolutely nothing for bullying and even ENDORSES the bullying. Even when provided with proof of physical, cyber, and verbal attacks, they took no action. Ms. Dully goes out of her way to protect and even prevent disciplinary actions. This is not the first time we've had an experience like this at this school. Almost 10 years ago we had a similar experience.

Mary Ann Binford Elementary has been an amazing school for my family over the years. I’ve had kids in grades K-5 here, and I’ve seen firsthand how much this school has grown and improved. My youngest is currently in kindergarten, and I’m so impressed by how much he has already learned!I’ve had the opportunity to work with several administrators over the years, but Principal Nieto is by far my favorite. She has brought incredible energy and leadership to the school, making so many positive changes. The addition of the new makerspace is such an exciting upgrade, and I’ve noticed a clear improvement in academics and test scores under her leadership.What truly sets the school apart now is its welcoming culture and sense of community. Principal Nieto and the staff have created an environment where families feel valued and included. I can’t recommend Mary Ann Binford Elementary enough for families looking for a school that truly prioritizes their students’ success and well-being!

My daughter attended this school k-4th perfectly fine until 5th grade hit. (Teachers)There was never an official teacher in the room because all of the teaches continuously left one after another. I would say she had about 12 teachers in ONE YEAR! This is outrageous! (Safety)There was also a lot of safety concerns for me as a parent. There would often be little to no supervision. One time there was an incident in my daughter’s class where someone had brought a lighter to school. This person had used the lighter to set a piece of their homework on fire and smoke filled the class room as no body noticed what this student was doing.(Principal)( Immediately after I asked to change my daughter out of the dangerous class). The staff and principal were unprofessional while addressing the situation. At one point they just cussed me and my husband out. So we decided to just pull our daughter out and home school her.100% don’t recommend sending your child to this school!

Abundant Life Christian School was a great experience for our two children. They grew in their Christian lives, excelled academically, graduated and are serving in music education and law enforcement today.

My daughter and sons grades have gone way up since switching to MAS from APS
