My child is attending this school for the first time. I am very impressed with the teachers as well as the curriculum. My child loves it.

Esperero has had a huge drop in AIMS test scores (as much as 18% in 2011), and recently got a B score from the Arizona Dept of Ed. Class sizes can be as large as 30.

I love Esperero! The teachers,counselors, and principal are extremely dedicated and caring. Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the teachers' workloads have increased, but they continue to give their best efforts. The curriculum is definitely challenging. I feel that Esperero is comparable to many private schools. My younger son graduates from Esperero this year, and I am going to be sad to say goodbye to this amazing school! I highly recommend it.

My daughter goes to ECMS and the truth is that there are some amazing teachers there but then again there are some that don't want to help my daughter succeed. She is very academically driven and sometimes the stress can drive her crazy. She still has amazing friends at this place you call school.

this school is terrible despte what the 'friendly staff' say and make you think the teachers are very unsupportive and unmotivatiol as well the dicsipline policy is ridiculous at esperero your son or daughter may get in trouble for the smallest slip-ups although its a very bad school they have a few good teachers and good encore classes otherwise bad.

Im am a student at esperero canyon middle school. I've had some good and bad experiences there. There is one teacherwho has stood out to me, and his name is Mr. Grobe. He is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I sometimes feel that the teachers here are unfair. And you dont always feel like you fit in. Over all this is an okay school. I would love to see some improvements.

Great Principal, Great Teachers, all very dedicated to the students. High parental involvement. Fantastic music, arts and sports programs. A bit too much emphasis on homework and Student Lead Conferences (most parents would prefer to meet directly with the teachers), but overall a 5 Star school with all the attributes you'd want.
