This school is by far the worse school my kids has attended since we've been in Arizona. The staff is extremely unprofessional & highly disrespectful. The principal is the worse, my child express to me that she was hit by a teacher & the principle not only felt that was a time to be sarcastic, but she completely dismissed the whole thing. I love my house but i cant wait to move to get out of their district. I also feel that their effort when it comes to teaching your child, is at a zero, staff is only there for a paycheck. 10 thumbs down, i have never experienced this in my life & neither has my children.

Roadrunner is an AMAZING school who is willing to work with ANY child and their family. Once your child is on their campus they become part of the Roadrunner family. Everyone there wants the children to succeed and be able to return to typical schools. We will miss the principal greatly, but know that nothing will be compromised because she set up such a great transition plan. Roadrunner is amazing for those gray area kids that get shuffled around with various diagnosis

I give this school a zero. Their staff is inappropriate and unprofessional and I have witnessed this behavior on more than one occasion. IEP meeting are a total joke with these people, all you do is go round in round in circles and get know where. I would never recommend anyone put their child in this school....they need to get rid of half the staff and completely restructure this school. They do not follow the behavioral management program the way they are supposed to and it effects every kid in this school negatively. It took me a over a year to get my kid out of this school. I truly believe it will take my son quite a while to get over the way this school treated him.

This school is awful. They call you to tattle on your child as if you can take care of something that they are suppose to be equiped to handle. They don't let you know anything that goes on until it's blown way out of control. There is no way for a child to be a child at this school. They nit pick on every little thing even the most minor issues and I've actually walked in on them arguing with my child and others. They argue with me on the phone. I say run away from this school as fast as you can. They suck you in and then your poor kid can't get out! My childs grades are poor now but has always been am A/B student but now is getting F's. I'm working on a different placement it's that bad!
