The therapists, teachers, and instructional assistants are deeply committed to supporting children with disabilities, and it is clear that my boys are genuinely cared for and valued each day they are at LIFE. The ABA program is exceptional and has far exceeded our experiences with previous programs. Many of LIFE's leaders are Board Certified Behavior Analysts, and a significant number of staff members are Registered Behavior Technicians, which speaks to the quality, expertise, and integrity of the program. I wholeheartedly recommend LIFE to any family seeking a supportive, professional, and compassionate environment for children with intellectual disabilities.

He smiles every day while walking to class, and tells me "go play" on his aac device, which he refused to use for me, until he started going here. I have yet to get a call saying I need to come get him because he wet through his clothes, I get to see pictures of all the fun activities they do, and his teacher let's me know if she finds new things he likes so I can get them for home. I have heard so many people say they have been on the waiting list for years, and I am just so happy that he got in within 9 months. It was definitely worth the wait, and also very worth the drive, we come from Florence.

My son started at this school when he was just three in the preschool program, then moved into…read morePre-K, and now he's in Kindergarten. Having that early start made the transition into Kinder so much easier--for him and for me--because he already knew the teachers, routines, and campus. We've truly loved every teacher he's had; they've all been so kind, caring, and supportive. I really appreciate how they not only focus on academics but also help with social situations, like when he's had little playground or line issues with friends. The growth I've seen in him has been incredible--he's already learning and doing so much more than I expected, thanks to the strong foundation he got in preschool and Pre-K. Most importantly, he's happy, confident, and loves coming to school each day. I couldn't ask for a better experience and am so excited to see how he continues to grow this year.

She has had such an easy time making friends in Edu-prize, and her teacher Mrs. Gant is AMAZING and I would ask for her if you have a kid going into the second grade. So far all the teachers my daughter has dealt with at Edu-prize have been amazing and you are one of the lucky ones if you are able to get your kids into this school!

My daughter attended Eduprize for 2nd grade, and I was initially very excited because the children…read moreof one of my close friends go here. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. My daughter's teacher, Ms. Bradley, was consistently unkind and lacked compassion--not just toward my child, but toward the entire class. She does not have the patience or heart needed to teach young children. Attempting to address concerns was frustrating from the start. The assistants to the vice principal and even the principal themselves refused to speak with me by phone and would only communicate through email. I ultimately had to escalate two separate issues to the superintendent. One major issue involved a classmate who caused physical harm to three students. Parents were not informed about the situation at all. When I raised my concerns, the school cited "student privacy." I made it clear I was not asking for the student's name or personal information--I simply wanted to be informed and reassured that my child was safe. When chairs are being thrown during an episode, parents deserve to know what precautions are being taken to ensure student safety, both in the classroom and throughout the school. Other parents posted how their kids legs were being clawed at when the kid was hiding under the table during his episode. And not one email went out from the teacher nor the principal. The second issue involved the school's use of i-Ready testing as the sole basis for rewards. Regardless of a child maintaining good grades all year, if they do not show improvement on i-Ready testing, they are excluded from rewards. Ms. Bradley held an ice cream party for students who showed improvement from the beginning of the year. My daughter's math i-Ready score stayed the same, so she was excluded--despite earning strong grades all year. She came home crying, saying, "I'm so dumb" and "I'm not worthy" because she didn't get to participate. Only four students were excluded, including my daughter. I showed her her report card with A's and B's and reassured her that she worked incredibly hard and is absolutely not dumb. When I followed up about the i-Ready scores not being posted, I emailed the teacher after waiting a week. I was told the school does not go by grades because i-Ready scores help maintain the school's A rating and evaluate teacher performance. I took this to mean that because my daughter did not show improvement in every subject on i-Ready, she was denied a reward because she did not make the school look better nor the teacher look better. I want to be clear that this is not a reflection of all teachers at Eduprize. Unfortunately, we ended up with a 2nd grade teacher who showed no empathy toward her students. There is a parent group monitored by school administration where parents are not allowed to freely share concerns or experiences. Because of this, another parent created a separate group. In that group, several parents have shared similar experiences regarding Ms. Bradley. One parent posted how she denied the bathroom to her son and he asked 3 separate times, he then peed himself in front of the entire class and she decided to blame him "you didn't tell me it was an emergency". It is heartbreaking to read what these 8-year-old children went through. Many kids began to hate going to school, which shows the profound impact a teacher can have on young students. No child should feel unworthy or unsafe at school.

I'd give it 5 stars if we were talking last school year or better yet the year before that. 2025…read moreschool year has started out proving that employees come first. Everything is very political now. Parents aren't allowed on campus unless they are part of the P3 club. But a lot of parents work and don't have time to dedicate to the club. Also, a lot of parents would take off work to be there to volunteer and hang out with their kids. But instead, it's a mean girls club running the whole school now. Someone who is barely started the school this school year is the president of the club. She has no idea what she is doing, she is badmouthing a lot of the other parents, doesn't know most of the students. I don't think Yvonne understands that so many parents are not being a part of the club because of this single woman. Yvonne is also one of the rudest women I've ever come across. Someone who should not be working with special needs children. And has a consistent bad attitude with parents. Or any child. A lot of the parents are in the works of speaking to other campuses about transferring. And we are all giving notes about other appropriate schools where the children and all their parents come first. The three stars that I left, not for the higher-ups not for the P3 club, it's for the teachers! The teaching staff is amazing and kind and caring and goes above and beyond. And for Mr Dilly! he always treats Parents with respect he is kind and caring, always roaming the school, checking on the kids and the staff. In my opinion and an opinion that a lot of others have is he should be the main one running things. So thank you Mr Dilly and the entire teaching staff! If it wasn't for you guys, a lot of us would have left a while ago. It's you guys that keep our kids happy at school, and keep them wanting to come back! They are having so much fun, also while improving educationally every day! THANK YOU!

It often seems like we are struggling against the system to get the basic rights our children deserve, and provide them the support they need to thrive and reach their potential. When my husband and I were hitting a brick wall with our son's school in an effort to garner the support he needed, we reached out to Parent Support Arizona and were immediately contacted by David (the founder of the company!), and are so grateful for all the work he put into assisting us. He not only returned our call personally and listened to our situation with the school, but he scrambled to adjust his advocates' schedules to ensure we would have support during a quickly approaching meeting on short notice. He offered solid advice, based on a wealth of knowledge in special education services and regulations, and had a network of professionals who provided continued legal support when it came to filing due process. David even contacted us while he was out of the office for vacation to ensure we had the supports we needed. Parent Support Arizona is a strong ally in the fight for children's rights within the schools, and we are beyond appreciative for the effort they put into helping us. We would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone else trying to fight for their child's education, and appreciate all of the assistance they were able to provide. Their compassion, character and ethical judgement are a breath of fresh air in a society bent on self-promotion for profitable gain. I am wholly impressed with their breadth of knowledge and wonderful advice, as well as the network of professionals they've created. They approached our case with humanity and exceptional service in the face of our struggles against the school. It is people like them who give me hope for the future, we just need more of them! They are a credit to our community and the profession of advocacy.

As my son begins his senior year at Poston Butte, looking back on our journey fills me with immense…read moregratitude for Principal Lopez and the incredible staff who make this campus special. High school naturally brings hurdles, and things haven't always been peachy. While there are certainly a few individuals on campus I do not look forward to dealing with--especially when it comes to a lack of warmth or collaboration with parent volunteers--Mr. Lopez keeps those challenges in check. People simply do not act that way in his presence because he has zero tolerance for anything other than doing what is best for students. He is one of the most authentic, hardworking administrators I have ever met--consistently bending over backwards to support parent volunteer teams and truly going above and beyond, even cooking a meal for our team every year. What sets Poston Butte apart is educators and coaches who take the time to understand how a student thinks. Watching my son blossom from an IEP as an underclassman to thriving in his junior and senior years in AP and Honors classes--while taking full advantage of dual enrollment opportunities and qualifying for Nationals in FBLA--speaks volumes about the academic environment here. In athletics, my son has played football since freshman year, and Coaches Thompson, Holmes, and Stallings have been fantastic: approachable, open to his learning style, and deeply invested in building real trust. That spirit of cross-campus collaboration is everywhere. Mrs. Lewis in the art department partnered with football to have her art students paint the windows, and Mrs. Williams had her yearbook students actively participate in both of our Media Days. When I approached senior counseling about future planning, Mrs. Warner didn't make excuses; she warmly welcomed a parent's perspective and sought feedback on creating better resource hubs for senior families. Poston Butte is thriving because of this dedicated community.
