They don't pay attention to the children they are very hard on them, don't listen to how children feel I am more than happy i was able to remove my son his so happy and reaching better goals than ever.

When I go to the office I can hear the staff complain amongst each other how horrible they get along and things get done, its sad they do it infront of parents but i don't blame them its like no one pays attention to them or what they say hopefully they can get a hold of someone that cares, from my own experience not even the current principle cares about anything but herself I tried getting a hold of Yuma district but no use the sent me right back to that school I was finally able to get help and great advice from the school board! Thank god and number to oir local superintendent!!!

Newly assigned to MCAS Yuma and had to find a school for our Kindergarten and third grade children. Out of the three schools we researched in the Yuma area, my husband and I were most impressed with this campus. The principal and front desk staff were very welcoming and helpful with questions and concerns. Seemed well organized and calm from the first moment we walked in. Recommend to other families new to the area!

This is such a Wonderful school and I see every child succeed academically. They insure your child's safety with a locked front door with they only way to get it is to be buzzed in and my child has learned so much in the past 3 years and his test scores are unbelievable. He couldn't have done it without the highly trained teachers and involvement of his father and I's help. Parents get involved with your child's school and work. this will take a lot of stress off of them. And the teachers are AWESOME to work with because they are the BEST! GREAT SCHOOL:!! I can't say enough about this school. Just stay away from Crane Districts they do not come close to District 1 scores.

Alice Byrne is such a GREAT school Academic wise. The teachers expect nothing but greatness out of their children and leave no child behind. My son attends this school and his test scores are off the charts!! I am so proud of my son and love the teachers for everything they have done for my and many other children. HIGHLY Recommend this school for every parent who wants their child to succeed in all subjects and have fun at the same time.

Alice Byrne is a wonderful school that is filled with caring teachers and administrators. The school truly is receptive to the parent's feedback and is proactive in finding solutions to enhance student learning. Ms. Spratt is a wonderful example of personal attention to each child's learning style. Alice Byrne is just the right size! My daughter is not one of over 800 students. The school has a familial feel and kids are held accountable for how they treat others. Bullying and disrespect are nipped in the bud and communicated to parents in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this school and am grateful for being a part of a great community of learners.

Admittedly we were not excited about moving to Yuma from our Excelling school in TX..but I ended up loving AB even more than our old school & any school EVER!!. Its hands down the best in Yuma. It definitely has a small town feel that is something we really enjoy. I have 3 kids who go here and we always feel like we lucked out and got the best, most special teacher ever with each of them. Mrs. Valenzuela in K, Mrs. Trevino in1st (who is taking Mrs. Fenzels place in 4th next year), MRS. HAZEN in 2nd, Mrs. Castel Branco in 3rd, and Mrs. Fenzel in 4th. (sadly Mrs. F is leaving but happily its to raise her new family) The teachers are really on top of your childs progress and honestly care about the kids and always sees that they are being challenged or if they are struggling they go the extra mile with them. Very professional and competent... you'd think they were being paid enough! I am already dreading when my son will have to leave year after next since elem. school ends in 5th grade there. Awesome program of Kinderbuddies for K & 4th, many fun field trips , Mustang of the Month program really gives them confidence and something to strive for. Active hard working PTO,
