If I could give this school a negative score I would. This school works hard at dumbing down. Giving kids low grades and then slowly rise at the end to make it look like they have achieved something. So glad we left this school before serious irreversible educational damage was done!

Once a child does wrong. They can never do right with the staff there. If I could move my kid I would but we are stuck there. They don't give 2nd chances or believe in their children they just want to suspend them without getting the facts I have known at least 10 families that moved and move their families away from that school because of that school

If you expect your child to receive any sort of medical attention while at school or receive a phone call regarding a serious injury, this school is not for your child. They will, however call you if their socks don't match they uniform code, call you if your child talks too much in class, or need you to leave work to bring in different shoes. And heaven forbid the nurse is away for any length of time, you can forget it....My daughter had an injury that required immediate medical attention and 2 of the 3 staff members that knew about it had seen it and never did one thing. Never sent her to the office or called me to come get her to get the medical attention she needed. This is completely unacceptable practice and this instance has not been the first time I have since found out after my daughter's experience.....This has to be the worst school or they have to have the most incompetent staff either way I would not reccomend this school at all, get a variance and send your child somewhere else!!!!!

My principal is fantastic, the teachers are fabulous, the enviroment is beautiful, and if someone does something wrong, then that's the parents fault, in school the prinipal doesnt let you do it. The cafeteria teaches us to clean after ourselves, and the staff is friendly, and never scream at us. My school is like a family, and there is not any crazy people, like other schools.

The worst school I have EVER been to and I have been to over 10 since kidergarten and I'm only in 6th grade. Don't EVER take your children there! I would rather drive 10 miles to a better school then walking across the street to this one.

Best school for kids with Autism. Our child loves going there every day. He's also made great progress and strides with the excellant staff.

Terrible school. I've had kids going here for 12 years and it's gotten progressively worse. The office staff is the most rude I've ever experienced anywhere. Far more interested in socializing that helping students or parents. Teachers get no support from the administration. I know this since a few of the teachers are my personal friends. We're moving now to get our last 2 kids away from this place.

this school is unwilling to spend the time on a child or the problems there teachers may have. I had to pull my child out and start him in k12

I recently moved to the Glendale area in Aug. 2009, & have found the kids to be extremely nice & welcoming!! I have met several students doing Fundraisers & have had several families Welcome us into the community. We came from the Maryvale area, where NO one said Hello, Hi , How you doing! This area is so friendly, as I'm sure the kiddos are too, that I've met.

This school is terrible. I am moving just to get my son out of this school and the district. The vice principal is rude. The office staff is rude. Everyone in that school seem to be more concerned with socializing with each other than the well being of any student. My son is in K. He has had 2 teachers because the first was so horrible I asked to have him moved. Unfortunately, the 2nd teacher is just as bad. They are a closed campus until 2:45 when it's time to pick up the students then they don't even question who's picking up the kids. I had my father pick up my son and the teacher didn't even question it. There are more story's like this but I will just end with this; if you have a choice, do not send you kids to this school!!!
