Caring teachers, no big school distractions, and focused class groups make this school a real winner. One of our kids really needs extra attention, and we saw she would get that here. We have been looking on the westside for focused, attentive, and back-to-basics education for our two, one 7 and the other 9. And A Child's View has everything we could want in being able to give our kids the skills they need with out the distractions of a bigchool. So glad they're here.

Classroom text books are outdated, published in 1985 and are not in line with today's academic standards. The lack of technology in the classroom inadequately prepares children for life in the 21st century. I found that the classroom teacher unable to manage the classroom efficiently and effectively. It was a very difficult year for my children, who encountered and had to learn how to deal with race discrimination. I was very disappointed with this school.

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.
