Montessori House has been a blessing to us. Our little girl originally attended a very fast paced public school and was doing well, but in the high stress environment she soon fell back socially and academically. We decided to start her here and have never looked back. Just take a tour of the school. It's amazing all the children are very well-behaved and they learn things that kids now-a-days just don't get. This school is about personal responsibility and loving to learn. I would recommend it to anyone.

My grandson spent 12 years at Miss Sherri school . He started out in her home ,where she took him in and ask for little to love him and teach him the more then abc , and 123 , but morals right frm wrong how to funtion in a changing world . She went on to starting the montessori house , this is just not a school but a caring family where no child is left behind where when others stop to pick u up . It was a sad day when he had to leave because his age at 13 he had to go to another school . And he stuggles but he also took the things he learned at the school with him , and we know that he has a home and a family when he falls he can call and talk to he knows their there .

The teachers are great and the school makes all the kids feel like they are all apart of a family. The principal loves each child and does a great job teaching them. My son has learned so much over the last 7 years.

This school has been great for my daughter. Each child is allowed to learn at their own pace. The teachers are so nice and friendly and make each child feel as if they are important and smart. My daughter has learned wonderful social skills as well as academic skills at the Montessori House School. I highly recommend this school as a preschool as well as an elementary school. No child will be Ignored or forgotten in these classes as is often the case in a public school enviroment.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Arizona used the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) to test students in reading and mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and 10, writing in grades 5, 6, 7, and 10, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 10. AIMS is a standards-based test, which means that it measures how well students have mastered Arizona learning standards. Students must pass the grade 10 AIMS in order to graduate. The goal is for all students to meet or exceed state standards on the test.

Schools are identified as Excelling, Highly Performing, Performing Plus, Performing, Underperforming, Failing to Meet Academic Standards or Pending.
