LOVE the school and staff !! my kids love it there ! the front office is so helpfull

We are lucky to be in our third year at QCE. We attended JBE until the boundaries changed and we were moved to QCE. That was the best thing that ever happened to us! We have had outstanding teachers (Ms. Cummins, Mr. Jeffers, Ms. Matthews, Mr. Kaesler) who go above and beyond with the children. Coach Stowers is amazing as well, a great advocate for the kids with good health and promoting exercise and fun in class. The lower grades started slower with their AR goals (1st and 2nd grade) but by the end of 3rd grade my daughter had a goal of 45 and was actually doing 100+ points instead because her teacher and Principal Horton kept challenging her to do more! Our experience has never been more than 30 min a night of homework (excluding the AR reading request of 15 - 30 min nightly).

We just moved from J.O. Combs District to Queen Creek District. We enrolled our two children into Queen Creek Elementary. We were very excited until some red flags arose. The first red flag was at Meet the teacher . The teacher was impersonal had just handed us paper work to fill out and sat at her desk. Our oldest child was having issues getting two hours of home work done every night (3rd Grade). He came home with complaints that if he asked for further instruction on how to complete his work she would say, I only give out instructions one time because you need to listen the first time. ( Which she did not deny)??? This was one of the several complaints he was mentioning not to mention being bullied in the class. (He was an honor student for two years at J.O. Combs and received the highest award in the

school for AR reading achievement). Now four weeks into the new school year the teacher is just giving us excuses to why he is falling behind and no solutions. The matter was brought up to Principal Horton. Again we were met with excuses and no solutions, not even a conference to discuss what the possible problems are. Ms. Horton was interrupting statements and not listening to concerns. This was after three messages and 4 days later a finely getting a response back. We are not complainers just very discouraged and disappointed. This disappointment comes from a mother and teacher of eleven years and a concerned father.

Fantastic teachers (Ms. Bina, Ms. Bernier, Ms. Kaesler) and support staff. Very attentive principal (Ms. Horton). PTO goes above and beyond to help the teachers and struggling families.

We moved into the Queen Creek district in 2005 during the building boom. Our son was in K. With the addition of a new principal whom is extremly enthusiatic and available. Our experience with QCE has been nothing but positive for our son. If you child has extra cirricular activities the school is completly supportive. Our son has been promoted to 3rd grade. He will be in a 3rd and 4th grade mixed educational class. there will probably not be more than 18 students in his class. If you like down home values in a small town then QCE will be a great addition. Your child will be identified and allowed to excell to higher levels of educational training. QCE is whole heartly supportive of higher education, but not mandatory. The school offers multiple class settings depending on the student/parent choice.

I have two children at QC Elm and I am very pleased with their education. The principal goes above and beyond what is typically expected for her role. The teachers are dedicated and great leaders. The special ed team is awesome as well!
