The staff will talk down to you, and when you voice your opinion they will mark an "X" on your back. Staff said I showed up to work inappropriately dressed; luckily, I had taken a photo that morning and showed them, asking them what was inappropriate about the outfit. They were dumbfounded and said you shouldn't be using your phone at work. I just so happened to take the picture during my lunch break. When I said that to them, they said I was being hostile and disrespectful. I didn't know that me telling my truth and discrediting their lies was me being hostile. If this is what they do to the adults, I can only imagine what they do the children. Stay away for your sake and your child's sake.

Their kindergarten teachers were allowing students to give the teachers shoulder massages which is not an acceptable or an appropriate practice. The principal will quickly throw her staff "under the bus" but then will immediately back-pedal and cover for them almost immediately after. The term "lazy" was used to describe our child's teacher. After these concerns our child's teacher didn't have the professionalism or accountability to talk to us either in any way to ease our concerns because there is no genuine concern. We moved on from this school and it's the best decision we've made being that our daughter had to catch up on a few things at her new school which is something we worried about due to the lack of structure at Cambridge and their "You Tube video" curriculum. Our child has grown exponentially in just a few weeks at her new school. The negative reviews are spot on at Cambridge, if you can find them. There has been reviews stating that they get removed to keep up their "good image." Warning to parents ‐ they will manipulate and there is no genuine concern for your child at Cambridge. Stay away from this school!

Administration and teachers always quitting left and right they dont care about nothing. They belittle the kids like they in the army or something treating students like trash.

I know so many family kids had nervous breakdown cuz they push so hard for good grades to make school look good. They only care about grades not the students at all these people are heartless monsters and terrible human beings.

Turns out my old phone number and email were actually in the system the whole time and this could have been avoided. Liz's response was I can't answer for the system, and can't give me answer for parent square either. If parents are complaining about the system meant to keep parents informed on their child's education then the school should absolutely be responsible for fixing it. Not only that, but as I was in there trying to get my parent square set up, members of the boy scouts or Girl Scouts or whoever walked into the office without their IDS and what did Liz say," We can bypass the IDs if you don't have them. SO YOU CAN BYPASS IDs. SO MUCH FOR THE SAFETY OF THE STUDENTS. I'm shocked by the incompetence of the staff but by the systems as well. Garbage school in a wealthy neighborhood with fake employees.

"Enter to Learn... Build Your Dreams"…read more Those are the words that greet you when you drive past the marquee and into the parking lot of this amazing school. The school lies in a beautiful desert setting with mountains all around. As soon as you enter the building, you begin to feel as if you're not in any ordinary school. The curriculum at Zaharis Elementary goes beyond that of most public schools. With an inquiry-based curriculum that incorporates character education, students at Zaharis don't just learn reading, writing, and math... they become readers, writers, and mathematicians. All of the staff members, teachers and support staff alike, are dedicated to providing each child with the very best education possible. Walking through the hallways, one can't help but feel "at home". There are couches scattered throughout the common areas where teachers and students alike can gather to read, work, and socialize. Murals and quotes on the walls provide inspiration around every corner. And within each classroom lies a community of learners, working together towards a common goal. Students in this school are challenged to think beyond traditional curriculum. They are encouraged to ask questions... and to work hard to find the answers. They are immersed in a "workshop" environment, where each individual works to his/her highest potential. What an inspiring, amazing place to learn... and to "build your dreams"!

He was being teased for playing with a little girl and after so many days, he defended himself saying to his friend "girls are dogs and dogs drink out of toilet bowls" When I picked my son up from school he was crying, devastated, saying that he got written up. He told me what happened and what was said. We talked why he did it and why it wasn't ok. The teacher messaged me on class dojo explaining what happened and that my son was very honest with her immediately, she talked to him and she could tell he was genuinely sorry. That he chose to make a difference by writing an assignment on anti bullying, I explained that he was sorry and the he said he wouldn't do it again..and that was the end of the discussion. I though it was over and dealt with until I picked my son up the next day and he was devastated crying AGAIN.....Nobody there with him to explain why he's so upset. He told me that he had to stay in a room and eat his lunch while writing an assignment on what Sousa's Expectations are from him, for using unkind words AND then had to sit on a bench for recess while everyone else got to play! That was his punishment for the rest of the week! Mind you, nobody ever informed me of him getting this kind of treatment!! I thought it was dealt with the day before! When I called the school to understand the situation both the principal secretary and principal were incredibly rude to me, pretty much called me a liar at one point. The principal said things like "you must feel like you guys are higher and above everyone else to think he shouldn't get this kind of punishment" (even tho my son was the only one punished in this "incident") and "if he was using kind words, he wouldn't be in this situation" instead of trying to make the situation better and being on the same page. It was their way or find another school! This school since then has deleted my reviews and won't even reply back to my emails. I've never dealt with something like this before and wouldn't wish it on anyone. The lack of respect is unreal. It was the first time he was ever in trouble! The punishment was too harsh for something so small. I was understanding the first day but it is not ok to treat any child this way and/or any parent for that matter. I have gotten plenty of advice from plenty of mothers and also see other ratings that state almost the same things to know my feelings are also justified and that this is not ok and they are perfectly fine with showing they DO NOT CARE! We no longer go to this school! Shame on Sousa Elementary School!!

A special shout-out goes to the librarian (Siack?) for her ability to hunt down books that my daughter requests. Thanks!
