I like Arizona Fleming, because my children have the best teachers ever......smile

I have two children that attend this wonderful school. They have outstanding teachers who communicate very well with me as a parent. I was so impressed that I am now a volunteer and on the PTA.

This school for me left some great memories. It is now a recognized school, and there are so many activities the children do to help support their school. The teachers are nice and acceptant of their students, and the TAKS scores are very high. I recommend this school!

Most of the teachers are cooperative, helpful, and friendly. However, if you have a student that is either ahead or behind, don't expect them to get much out of this school. A struggling student in this school is only left for the parents to deal with. Yes, parents need to take some of the responsibility, but when a parent ends up having to school the child on things that should be taught during school hours and taking all the child's free time just to get a child caught up, that's not ok. A child who is ahead is not allowed to move ahead, thus making the parent have to teach extra things every day. If your kid is average, this is your perfect school. The only extra help is TAKS classes to pass the state test, not classes to help or challenge a struggling or gifted kid.
