I don't understand how a student can graduate if they have failed most of their 8th grade......Grades were terrible and not turning in assignments....Please explain.. Thank you...

We were hesitant to move our 2nd and 3rd graders, mid-year from a great school in our old neighborhood but we received positive feedback on this school, and it was right-on! Great teachers that really care about the kids; apporopriate amount of homework; excellent school-to-home communication; accountability for kids; respectful atmosphere; lots of opportunitites to be involved at the school and participate in school-based activities.

So far I 'm pleased with this school. I've already received much more communication in our 1st week than any other school my children have attended. Another parent complained about homework, but coming from schools with none I welcome it. I know what my children are learning, and I am able to help tutor them in areas they may struggle in. I love the early release TOPS program, our days seemed to go by so fast with a 2:45 release time; we had no time for anything at night. The drop off/pick up is smooth flowing. I am not sure how I feel about the school as a whole as of yet, but I will say that my first impression is very good. My son's teacher offered to meet with me during her spring break, and seemed to really care about what I had to say. I also think it is great that they offer morning and afternoon programs as to allow more children the opportunity to attend a great school, as we were able to enroll very quickly and painlessly. The ladies at the front are very sweet, and other parents seem really caring as well. I am very happy to see I have options other than the very low rating school in our neighborhood. As for wanting $, alls schools have fundraisers. Nothing new!

Before I moved to San Tan Valley, I took the time to research many schools. I was even told by a secretary of a public school that she recommended a charter school. My son has been at Eduprize two years now. Eduprize has been fantastic! Both teachers (K and 1st) have been amazing! As far as the drop off lanes go, Eduprize is set up perfectly. As long as parents follow the instructions, it is safe and runs smoothly. About the comment on Eduprize concerned about money-schools need money! Eduprize has done so many great things with the money they have raised just in the two years we have been involved with them. Also, all parents are sent home a questionnaire at the end of the school year about what classes are preferred by the parents for the following school year. (ie: If you want tops or full day.) I believe they then do their best to grant the parents wishes. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL!!!

My son attends EDUPRIZE and is very excited about the technology that is implemented in the daily classes. He enjoys the Life Learning Labs like Dinosaur Dig, Botanical Garden, the different Labs and the diversity in teaching methods. We are fortunate to have EDUPRIZE..

Greatest School Ever!!! There were not a lot of good options for our children in this area until EDUPRIZE came to us. We were lucky enough to get in and have continued to be amazed every year since. Our kids not only excel in academics and enjoy the creative science focused curriculum, but they have had great music and physical education teachers. Our kids got to participate in competitive after school sports and the girl's tract team took first in the state. Our boy's football team won his division and had a great experience. This school teaches kids how to care for others and how to become leaders. Our special needs child has been blessed to have the most amazing special ed program ever. If our school only gets 9 points out of ten it is because the school does not practice selective enrollment and is about helping all children. Thank you Eduprize for all you have given our kids and our community.

We love EDUPRIZE! Our children have been at EDUPRIZE since the doors opened. At the time, at our neighborhood school, my 1st grader had been in a class with 35 kids. She was above grade level, but was not being challenged due to the fact that the teacher had to spend more time keeping the large class under control than actually teaching. The next year when EDUPRIZE opened we decided to move our now second grader to this exciting new school. We were amazed! By the end of first quarter our child had had jumped an entire grade level in reading and was excelling in other areas as well. Most of all the was happy to be there and was excited to go to school. The next year our second child entered Kindergarten and we were once again amazed at the teaching and acedemics as she began reading just after a few months. We now have all three of our children attending EDUPRZE and wouldn't change school even if we moved to the next city. Next year our oldest will be entering Jr.High and we are excited about the new sports program offered as well as the extra curricular clubs such as band and choir. Our children are very lucky they have the opportunity to a great school like EDUPRIZE!

Eduprize has went from a school that really cares about students to one that cares more about $ and they make it very clear that they want to be known as a school that is excelling so if your student struggles academically and needs extra help this is not the school for you, they will be left behind.

I recently reviewed this school 9/11/11, since then I pulled out all my children. I felt that There priority is financial 1st rather than the children first. They have the tops program there that condences the day in a 5 hr day removing recess and lunch and the chidren only have a 10 min snack/break and for the school thats great because they can fit another batch of sudents for the second half of the day so there enrollment doubles. However for the kids thats not so great unless the parents can contribute a lot of time at home with home work. The tops program seemed to be ok in the younger ages but when my daughter entered the third grade she was not able to absorb the information because it was moving to quickly and a lot of the work was brought home i was spending an average of three hrs a night helping her with her homework. That was too much for me to do having 6 other children to take care of. So i moved them out of the school and put them in another charter scholl near by and all of my children are so happy and there grades have improved from the extra time they have to absorb the info. I wish I had done this sooner rather than try to squeeze them in the eduprize box
