My children's teachers communicate with me on a regular basis. They call me when there is a discipline problem and we work together to correct the issues. We work together with improving schoolwork. The office staff and principal and assistant principal are the greatest, using positive role modeling and discipline rather than punishment. The school supports extracurricular activities such as scouting, baseball, soccer, and karate clubs. The school has programs to assist families with health checkups, dental and through the holidays as well as to purchase the required uniforms. The school seeks to strengthen families to help the children.

I was really dissapointed with this school.. My son attended this past school year and will not be attending ever again.. Kindergarden classes do not have a buddy system wich makes little ones susceptible to being bullied by older kids... They don't call you when your child has been a victim of being bullied or if your child is the bully... Bottom line is this school scores very low when it comes to our kids safety

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.
