I ended up taking my daughter somewhere else and now is staying at school and receiving more resources and support.

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.

Formal Complaint Regarding Religious Discussions With My 8-Year-Old Child…read moreI am submitting this formal complaint regarding a concerning incident involving my 8-year-old child and their third-grade music teacher. My child reported that the teacher directly told them that Jesus Christ is not real. As a parent, I am deeply concerned about this interaction and the appropriateness of how religious beliefs are being discussed with young elementary school students. I recognize that people have different religious beliefs and that public schools must respect students from all backgrounds. However, I expect educators to exercise sound judgment, maintain appropriate professional boundaries, and handle sensitive subjects in an age-appropriate and educational manner. My concern is not simply that someone may disagree with my family's beliefs. My concern is that a teacher, who holds a position of authority over my young child, made a direct statement about a deeply personal religious subject. I am requesting that the school administration: Investigate the incident and establish exactly what was said and the circumstances surrounding the conversation. Review whether the teacher's conduct complied with district policies and applicable professional standards. Explain what steps will be taken to ensure religious topics are handled appropriately and respectfully. Provide me with a written response regarding the school's findings and any appropriate corrective action. I expect my child to be treated with respect and to receive an education free from inappropriate pressure concerning personal beliefs. I also expect the school to take parental concerns seriously and ensure that all educators understand their professional responsibilities when interacting with young students. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and let me know when I can expect a response. My priority is my child's well-being, and I intend to pursue the appropriate channels until these concerns have been properly addressed. Sincerely, A Concerned Parent

Most teachers are inexperienced and lose assignments (based on the situation described by my children). The "drive-line" system is also a horrible approach to drop-off/pick-up situations. They've been going downhill for years, constantly swapping administrators and principals, making it even harder to communicate. You'd be better off sending your children to a public school.

All the staff I've met are friendly and willing to help you with whatever problem or question you have. This year they just started implementing the 5 second rule for visitors in the office, 5 seconds meaning after a visitor walks in the office they will be met by someone working there and will be helped a son as possible. Again this year they are really giving it a strong effort and I appreciate it.

I love everything about this school and raved to everyone that would listen. This last year has been the worst year at this school. We moved and wanted to stay in this school, so we were approved for a variance, this was the worst thing i could have done. The dynamic of this school changed almost immediately. There is an ongoing problem at this school with bullying, even though they appear to have no tolerance. My son have been beat up, threatened and told by school staff he was a lier. My son was failing and I never knew about it for a whole half semester. THen when i call numerous times to complain it was told that MY SON WAS THE PROBLEM by head office staff. Needless to say our time at this school is done. Think twice.

While most of the teachers and staff are trying their best to help as many students as possible,…read morethere are far too many kids per class. My son's 2nd grade class had around 32 kids at the start of the year. a few teachers in the higher grades have been known to yell and scream at kids, sometimes daily (as witnessed by my child and their friends). Accommodations for neurodivergent individuals is either because of a 504, IEP, or you got a good teacher that is willing to learn and work with you and your child. However, Neuro-spicy kids are bullied relentlessly. Bullies are not confronted by staff unless parents push constantly for it. And I even had a lunch worker scare my 1st grader so badly he refused to eat anything I made him; she had told him it wasn't healthy enough (A ham sandwich, fruit snacks, juice, and grapes and/or carrot sticks. Sometimes leftovers from the night before). When we pushed for her to be confronted about these instances (so she'd stop scaring him into thinking everything he ate was bad) she came up with an excuse that he didn't have lunch, which wasn't true (I put his lunch in his bag myself), but the school back anyway and we were told to not worry about it. The kids aren't given enough time to eat lunch and the lines in the cafeteria (apparently) are pretty long. By the time my kids got their lunch and sat down they had 10 min. to finish and get back to class (which is why we went to packed lunches to begin with). On multiple occasions my kids were picked on by their peers and when brought to staff their concerns were disregarded and they were told to deal with it. On an overnight with the school one student stole from my daughter and when she asked the parent (who happened to be a teacher) for help to retrieve the items was reprimanded for accusing her daughter of stealing and had been told it was her fault the girl had taken her make-up and wouldn't give it back. The teacher also told her that when they got back she would have words with me. She must have changed her mind because she didn't confront me. (I'm only 5'3" and a fairly nice person). When there have been instances we've had to email the principal directly in order to see any resolution. The bus app doesn't work and this year the transportation staff didn't even show up to meet the teacher night to help anyone figure out what bus they would be on; this resulted in us looking on the district website which was apparently the wrong information (even though it'd been updated for this school year) because my kids were kicked off the bus at school, since it was the wrong bus, however this was after their actual bus had taken off. The kid's programs are usually very crowded and people are always so loud it's impossible to hear anything. A lot of times things are scheduled while parents are working. All that being said, there are SOME excellent teachers that are very helpful and honestly concerned with the kids. The principal works really hard to make it the best experience possible and responds to emails and calls as soon as she's able. The front office has a call button to let anyone in and they're really good about checking ID's. The office staff and nurse are always very helpful and friendly. The grounds are fairly well maintained and spacious with gated play areas separated by grade for the kids safety. There are a lot of afterschool clubs and programs, including robotics. The school is really good about keeping parents in the loop if something happens and just in general.

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.
