The gals in the office are always kind to us when we come in to drop off items for the students. I like how I see the staff interacting with the students while out and about. A lot of teens in Surprise chose this school to attend even when outside the area to be assigned this school. Like any school there still will be bullies, drugs and other obstacles, but they police and security daily. They also offer after school tutoring when students are falling behind in school work or having a hard time catching on.

So far roaches seem to not bother the staff as they just walk over them and say "there's nothing we…read morecan do". Crossing guards do not even attempt to walk your kids safely across the road and a 15yr old girl was struck by a car. There is no dress code as stomachs, thongs, booty shorts, and side boobs seem to be the norm. Kids apparently make out all the time as well. Someone gave my child what she thought was candy and ended up passing out because it was drugs. She passed out in the office and no one could find her. There are some great teachers that genuinely do care and try to help the students. There really isn't any system of organization when it comes to the front office.

Mrs Miller and Mr Leavell have been my son's teacher two different years and made a huge impact in his life! Other teachers like Mr Kendalo, Mr Gestrich, Ms Moreno, Mrs Nixon and Mrs Graves have also made each school year great with their teaching styles, communication and overall caring for the kids! The admin and front desk are great! Mrs Jasmine, Mrs Janice, and Mrs Lucas are my favorite! Recently, we just came home from the world strides trip with Mrs Kleinow and she was so amazing taking 9 students across the country keeping them all safe! Overall think Surprise West is the best!

They have great structure and routine for the students, I believe it helps them thrive especially in a school that is advanced with challenging material, but I know it will truly set them up to be successful adults. I have loved all their teachers! Whenever I have concerns I've always felt heard. I'm also thankful for the driveline, I know it can get crazy at times, but is so safe compared to other schools! They constantly have fun events and things for the kids to do. They are great at communication too, I rather get a bunch of emails everyday because I also get busy so I can be up to date on what's happening/book reports/poems/drills/dress down days/parent square/anything and everything! I really am so thankful for the school and the staff!

As much…read moreas I'd like my son to continue here because of the cohort of students he's with, my family just doesn't trust his safety in the hands of Principal H or anyone at Vertex Education. I gave my son the option and he chose to leave. Decisions that are made at the top affect a lot of people and unfortunately, the principal's choices and lack of transparency and honesty affected my son enough to make him want to leave. We try to teach kids to treat others with respect and honesty but if your principal's not willing to do it, then the flag couldn't get any more red. On to better things.

I very much recommend this high school if you want to get into a good college or university. Those some people might say. This is a horrible school. I massively disagree with their statement because there has been one to no fights, or Anything like that at the school because they take education over anything and believe that everyone has a chance to go to college and live life successfully

My child was released to someone who could have possibly been a complete stranger. NO ONE CHECKED ID, the individual who I had pick my child up from that school went to the office and the front office receptionist sent this individual directly to where my child was. The receptionist did NOT check ID & when it was time to grab him from the teacher they too just sent him off without even speaking or asking for Identification. Another incident had transpired where another student was touching my child inappropriately & when it came to time speak with the teacher she WAS AWARE of the incident but FAILED to INFORM ME ! I am not only concerned about my child but I am also concerned about the other student as well as that parent should be aware and informed of the information ! The teacher made it a point to MESSAGED ME AND INFORM ME OF OTHER THINGS but not mention what was MOST IMPORTANT. NOT ONLY did these terrible incidents happen but my son had been here in this school for 6 months & his main teacher still DID NOT know his name but would address him as someone else . FINALLY each time I would address my issues of concern the teacher and both principal and assistant principal were VERY CALLOUS . NO apology NO concern NO EMPATHY ... NOTHING !!
