    My husband and I sent our youngest son to Desert Willow's preschool. I am currently obtaining an…read moreadvanced degree so I'm out of the country quite a bit for the next 2 years. My husband is the primary caregiver while I'm away. Our son had some problems not listening in class and hitting on occasion, neither of which are behaviors we condone. While some of the staff worked with us to correct the problem, there were a few teachers in particular that were difficult to deal and flat out inappropriate. My husband would speak with a particular teacher that dealt well with our son and was making progress. There was nothing inappropriate about their conversations, however, one of the administrators for the program pulled her aside and told her she needed to be aware of how it "looked" with her speaking to my husband while I was out of the country. I trust my husband and I had met and had conversations with this particular teacher so implying there was anything was going on was offensive and uncalled for. I don't believe this was said out of concern for the employee, as the administrator is close friends with two of the other teachers in the same program that my husband and I were having a difficult time dealing with. I can understand when a child has problems and the parent doesn't want to address the situation how that can make it hard for the school, but my husband and I were receptive to anything we could do to make the situation better. It takes discipline on both sides for a toddler to know that bad behavior won't be tolerated at school or at home. I'm not blaming the school for my toddler acting out, but for a parent to acknowledge that there is a problem, ask for help, and then to have one of the few teachers who is willing to assist be removed from the preschool program and placed somewhere else is incredibly frustrating, especially since the majority of my interactions with the Vail School District have been positive. Because we weren't left with any options for teachers that were willing to work with us, we have pulled our son from the program and are taking him to someone we know will take excellent care of him while still addressing any inappropriate behavior.

    Our girls have gone from Kindergarten through 5th grade. They teachers are great and so is the…read morestaff.

The office staff is arrogant and condescending and won't return calls. There's no way to contact your child during the day because the front office doesn't answer their phones. The only upside is that the teachers seem wonderful.

    The SSA seems like it was a decent place about 10 years ago, and has been going down hill ever…read moresince. They have a huge trophy area near the front, but check those dates on the placards. I'm willing to bet its when the school transitioned to its new high school principle Mr Doyuran and his friend, the academic adviser, Mr Yilmaz. All my children go here. I can say the elementary school is great, and Mr Dogan sincerely cares about the students, but the high school is dismal. Mr Doyuran and Mr Yilmaz have no business being in their positions. I don't believe they understand their roles nor do they care. How they got there and what they do is beyond me. They don't care about the students nor their academics. Talking to either one of them about a students academics will get you nowhere. The prior review does not surprise me at all. The majority of the teachers are great, I really like them. However, they have seriously bad leadership. Mr Doyuran and Mr Yilmaz are successfully sinking that school and its glorious past. If you have a choice of schools, do not pick this one.
