My son has been going to this school since kindergarten. I've never had any issues until this year…read more Kindergarten, 2nd, and 3rd grade were great, which is why I'm so thrown back. Teachers this year have extremely high expectations for 10 year old kids. The last two months the school has pointed out behavior issues with my son. My son gets bullied like crazy and nothing is done about it. The school is so quick to pointing out everything he does so he gets in trouble rather than recognizing he needs guidance to improve. I'm so disappointed how the school has been treating and dealing with my son. He doesn't want to go to school because he feels like the staff is targeting him. If your kid fits the "normal" stereotype of a kid, they will do fine at the school. If your kid struggles in anything, behavior or academically, don't waste your time sending your kid here. We won't be returning for 5th grade.

The worse experience ever I have my both kids at that school and I never see such disrespect . The…read moreteachers are very irresponsible and mean , they expect kids to know everything because there excuse is we have to many kids in the classroom and we can't focus in each one . They call me two times around 12 PM to let me know my kid is missing and he was there but because she missed him . Just imagine my shock. Very mean and irresponsible people. Don't send your kid there worse experience ever

I will preface this with 0 stars!!…read more My child has attended this campus for three years and while there have been minimal issues the last two years. This year has by far been horrendous! The staff and administration present as if they thrive off parent involvement and accountability when in actuality they want the students to simply know the answers and test high, with no interaction from parents and when parents step in to seek guidance, support or clarification and attempt to hold staff and administration accountable they find any reason they can to paint the parent as the issue. Not only have I filed a police report against a teacher this year, I am now on my THIRD formal complaint with the board, have pulled my child and will be moving forward with legal steps. If you are an active, involved, and communicative parent this school will not be supportive. They focus on high score students and if your child begins to struggle in any capacity.. well it's up to your child to figure it out because 9 year olds are expected to be independent with their academic career. All while the administration allows for staff to intimidate, harass, bully, and use bias towards youth.

The decision to enroll our daughter at Palm Valley Montessori (PVM) back in 2012 when she was just…read morethree years old has proved to be an amazing choice for so many reasons. The school offers a genuine Montessori prepared environment with teachers that are dedicated and return year after year. The children not only learn academic skills that place them far above the performance of children at other schools, but they gain so much more from this family style/homelike setting complete with access to nature and animals. Our daughter has strengthened her sense of self-confidence, which has allowed her to develop her own personal strengths and talents. PVM also offers before/aftercare and a variety of programs (music lessons, Spanish, creative writing, art, cooking classes in full kitchen and monthly field trips). Over the past six years she has developed close friendships in a safe bully-free environment and her school has become more than a school...more like an extended family.

5/5 Legacy Charter…read moreSchool -- Home of the Bulldogs -- has been such a wonderful experience for our family! We absolutely love this school. The teachers and staff truly care about each student and go above and beyond to help them grow academically and personally. The sense of community is strong, and you can feel the positive energy as soon as you walk onto campus. Our kids are excited to go to school every day, and we've seen so much progress in their confidence, learning, and friendships. Legacy provides a safe, supportive, and inspiring environment that really brings out the best in its students. We're so proud to be part of the Bulldog family!

Rachel Crossman appears to consistently overlook what should be the top priority, student safety…read more In my experience, she also tends to dismiss or ignore concerns raised by teachers and parents, which makes it difficult to feel heard or supported. With the level of authority she holds, her judgment calls carry significant weight, yet many of those decisions raise serious concerns about whether they're being made in the best interest of students and staff. It's also worth noting that she encourages people to leave her positive reviews on yelp, which makes the feedback you see there feel less organic and potentially influenced. Because of this, I would take especially positive reviews with a grain of salt and consider seeking out a wider range of perspectives before forming an opinion.

Just because the neighborhood is nice doesn't mean the school is. The biggest regret is moving to…read morethis neighborhood. It's rated #1 I don't know how, my kids aren't excited to go to school. It was completely different at our previous school. Teachers looked happy and excited to be there. Some of the teachers look so miserable!! Especially, ARIANNA BROWN, WHOM TEACHES 1st grade! She has been every parent's nightmare!! She shouldn't be teaching at all. She does things purposefully to hurt a child's feelings it's disturbing. Once you call her out, she stunned and shocked. Teaching is not your calling. Every time I have tried to engage, she has a miserable attitude and look about her. They need to start handing out psych evaluations to these "teachers." Because who can hurt a child's feelings and feel absolutely nothing is beyond disgusting! The school district and principal did absolutely nothing when we requested to move our son out of the classroom. Our request was denied. Now my son is traumatized by ARIANNA BROWN.

There was this one time in the cafeteria, this happened a month ago, idk where my review went but,…read moreone of my friends put a piece of ham on one of the posters inside of the cafeteria, teachers would walk past it like 15 times a day and this happened for a month, even through spring break, this school is extremely unsanitary and rarely gets cleaned.

My children live with their mother about 5 min away. I live and work almost an hour away from my…read morechildren and so my best to be VERY involved with everything they do. Long story short, This school lets out early ALOT. I dont know about other people, but I work. My 16 year old goes to Goodyear High and pics his brother and sister up daily, on short days he runs 30min behind because his school does not let out in time to be there at 12:20-12:35. I have been called and yelled at, chastised, belittled, and told "We are not babysiters," when my kids were waiting for their brother to pick them up. Mind you, other kids as well as security are present well after school has ended, no problems there tho. But for the front office lady to yell at my 16 year old son that he needs to take his 6 yr old sister and 10 year old brother and het off campus now... or to make a 6 year old start walking home alone while she cries that she doesnt want to because shes waiting for her older brother and shes scared to walk home... In the middle of me apologizing while gettin chastised, I was cut off multiple times and told things like "Well, you need to figure something else out,"...."Thats not my problem,"...."We are not babysitters." This is how Copper trails treats parents and children that attend AND LEND A HAND AT EVENTS. LMAO. THIS SCHOOL IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL AND DOES NOT CARE ABOUT CHILDREN. THEY CARE ABOUT A CHECK. DONT LET THE FEW REVIEWS FOOL YOU. IVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PARENTS THAT SHARE MY SAME VIEWS ABOUT THIS PLACE. Currently exploring options for my children to attend school elsewhere....... And they wonder why kids dont give a damn about school. Seems to me it because the teachers dont give a damn about them.

This message is directed to the new principal, Ms. Dawson. I am concerned about her approach with…read morethe students. For some reason, she feels it's acceptable to mislead kids in an attempt to elicit information. For example, she told my niece that she saw her on camera using her phone, asking why she called her mom about a referral she received. However, my niece didn't call her mom, and she didn't even have her phone with her. Ms. Dawson then went to my sister's classroom and shared the same misleading information with her. Additionally, I have requested a 504 plan for my child, who is struggling with math despite having an IEP in that subject. Unfortunately, the request was denied because my child doesn't "qualify." Now, I have to wait another month for the school to conduct their own IEP evaluation. I can't shake the feeling that Ms. Dawson holds some biases against my family members who attend this school.

My kids and I love this school! I have three children that attend MIP. One is in the 2 year old…read moreprogram, another in 2nd grade and my oldest is in 4th. My two oldest are in the same class and they all learn so much at this school. The Montessori method with its hands on, play based learning works so well for all three of my children but especially for my dyslexic daughter. I tried public school first with my oldest daughter and it was a total nightmare. Homework every night in kindergarten, weekly tests nightly practice of flash cards left me with a very stressed out and unhappy 5 year old. Switching to MIP is the best decision we ever made! We have been apart of this school going on 5 years now and will be here for many more years to come. We are just waiting for the junior high program to get started so that they can stay at MIP through 8th grade.

I have been so impressed with this school from the little details to the big things that matter…read more They are committed to keeping kids safe by only letting those on the approved pick up list show their ID's to pick up kids- IMPERATIVE in today's world. They are on top of informing parents about the status of the events, dates and information we need. They are so good about pumping the kids up for school everyday with fun music playing at the entrance and approved upperclassman opening doors for kids and saying "Have a great day!" Thought this was a 1st day of school thing but it's still going on! And from an educational standpoint I am so impressed. My girls are challenged and aided through every level of their education. They are both in the Honors class called Traditional Academy (not sure why this name when it's for all advanced students in each grade) and they are learning Spanish, moving though subjects and levels faster and I'm always kept informed about what is going to be taught. The principal at this school is incredible and is made for this job. He is kind, fun, caring and involved. He is high giving kids, giving smiles on the corner waving parents into school in the morning and sitting with the kids at lunch. You won't find a better school! Verrado Elementary is IT! I couldn't be happier.
