Started my daughter here in kindergarten for the 18-19 school year. Infact we moved to Mesa to…read moreattend a school in this district. Saw a report that this school is #8 in the state and nationally recognized. She's been here for 2 months now and she is doing incredible. She's learning to read now. I have a friend who has a kid that's a year older and still can't. Our daughter loves going to school here and has made lots of friends. The school also keeps us up to date on everything. Lots of emails and texts (if you sign up for them). So far I can't recommend this place more. Takes the sting out of moving from a nice property solely so she can attend better schools. It's all about the kid, and off to a great start here.

4 of my 5 kids go to Self Development Academy (1 is currently in Preschool and 3 in higher grade…read morelevels). We've had positive experiences since our kids started here in the 2's and 3's on the preschool side. My 6 other nieces and nephews also attend this school and we've all had a great experience with SDP and SDA. This school has high rankings in academics but also has a wonderful team who all have your children's best interest at heart. Dr. Majeed, Miss Vernetta, all the teachers Miss Mickey, Miss Amber, Miss Haschke, Miss Oliver, Miss Jenn C., even all the front desk staff (Lonnie, Deena, Brittni), and especially the principal Jenn Salvatori have all been wonderful and helpful with our kids! There was recently an issue with another child was being very rude/disrespectful a couple of times and I reported it right away since my child was upset and crying. I'm happy to report that the resolution was swift. I was also kept updated about how it was being addressed both with the students and internally among their staff/teachers. SDA stresses the importance of the 4 R's Respect, Responsibility, Readiness, and Resiliency as well as academics with opportunities to advance. SDA was also very accommodating when we had to go to online school during COVID and truly care about your child's well being. My kids feel safe here, trust their teachers and administration, and have honestly thrived at this school since being here. I feel blessed to have this school so close to home and to trust my kids with a school that provides such solid support.

If I could give zero stars, i would. If you have kids with special needs, do not let them go here!…read more They say "we can meet the needs" but then they change the IEP from self contained at the old school to pull out reading and math and writign, and then wonder why the kids are failing. the pullout teacher was nice and kid loved her but the principle is so mean abd i don't think actually a principple anyway. and they only let special ed kids go their so they can get the tuition money and then they treat them bad.

We have 2 boys currently in Entz Elementary and we love it here! It's been rated as "A" by Arizona…read moreas well. By boys made amazing progress here. A precious review said it's set up as a prison but I don't find that to be true at all. It's built with multiple building and fencing around the perimeter to keep the kids safe...and this day in age that's a big plus!! Dr Reid is the school principal and my boys love him. He takes the drop off and pick up zone pretty serious- so follow the rules and directions for that area or you'll find him tapping your window glass ha ha! Mr. Trout and Mr. Todd are awesome and my kids really look forward to fist bumping or high "fiveing" them every chance they get. We had a great experience with Mrs Woods, Mrs McDonald and Mrs Cirqua. Mrs Greer is new so I think I would cut her some slack but I feel like she shouldn't be teaching kindergarten-she doesn't have the patience or endurance for that age and needs an older classroom level. We're looking forward to many more years at Entz!

This school enables bully's, I've had my children in this school from kindergarten to 6th grade…read more Only teacher I have loved is Mrs. Coble in 1st grade (you can see through her teaching and her actions that she loves her job and takes pride in it). Other wise, the teachers don't support your children in there specific needs, they definitely play favorites in treating some children better than others. My 4th grader (female) was threatened with sexu@l @ssault by another 4th grade (male) and he was with-held some recess but never switched out of my child's class or held accountable otherwise!.. My neighbor that just moved in had her daughter in the school for 3 days and from the 1st day there was a group of girls bullying her, nothing was done. So she switched her back to her prior school! Keep your children out if this school.

A Community That Truly Cares…read more Cambridge Academy has been one of the greatest parts of my daughter's childhood. This is not just a school, it is a caring community that knows its students, invests in them, and gives them real opportunities to lead. Our daughter has grown here in ways that go far beyond academics. She has participated in weekly improv and art clubs, performed in the talent show every year, walked the recycled materials catwalk, and even led the morning pledge. Cambridge builds confidence through hands-on experiences and caring guidance. The staff is exceptional. The leadership team creates an environment where kids feel safe, supported, celebrated, and genuinely cared for. Teachers know their students personally and champion their growth. Cambridge also brings families together through winter performances, literary and international nights, and community events like Trunk or Treat and parent child activities. These traditions make every family feel included. Our five years at Cambridge have been overwhelmingly positive. Our daughter loves her teachers and knows them all. Her confidence, curiosity, and leadership are a direct reflection of the environment Cambridge has created. Cambridge Academy is more than a school to us, it is family.

This school seems like a great option at first they seem welcoming and friendly but ultimately if…read moreyou raise any concern they will say one thing to your face but completely do nothing and cover their tracks. 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!

When we were looking for a school for our son to attend Kindergarten, we were overwhelmed. There…read moreare so many options, whether public or charter, and being new to the Gilbert area, we didn't know which way to go. When I found Leman Academy Mesa, it was entirely by chance as I drove by it one day. I thought to myself, what a cute school, and it was literally down the street from our house, so I booked a tour. Mind you; this was before the pandemic. When we attended the tour, we were greeted by the sweetest administration staff and even the Principal! Mrs. Bostow is hands down the best Principal ever. The fact that she was not only in attendance for our tour but also presented info on herself, her background, and the school's mission says a lot about the values they encompass and the family/community feel they want their scholars' families to experience. We did not experience anything like this at the other schools we toured. Some of those folks couldn't even correctly introduce themselves! Now fast forward to 2020 and the pandemic. Mrs. Bostow and the entire administration staff at Leman have gone above and beyond to keep all families informed and up to date on the new procedures, policies, and progress as we deal with this global situation. They've surpassed any expectations my husband and I could have had for such a situation. We have officially started Kindergarten this week, and on the first day, my son came home with new friends and the happiest disposition. He loves his teachers so much and can't wait to learn! He said Mrs. Robins is funny and friendly, and Mr. Opazo was silly and fun. We are very blessed to have found such an amazing school with core values, a classical model for learning, family and community support, stellar staff, and top-notch security. We couldn't imagine being anywhere else and are so happy our sons will be apart of the Leman family for years to come. Here's hoping they decide to open a High School by the time our sons reach that age. :)

Pros: Excellent teachers who truly care about each student. Particularly, Mr. Padilla (he's…read moreincredible!), Mrs. Kotkin and Mr. Rohner. Jennifer, in the front office, is great as well. Cons: Principal Jayne Bostow allows sexual assault/harrassment, bullying and retaliation of the assailant to go unpunished and doesn't seem to care about or feel the need to trouble herself with the effects it has on her students, particularly female students in the upper grades. Mrs. Bostow blatantly ignored the schools own rules and regulations in their handbook from the very start of when the first complaint was verbally filed. When we were finally given a form to file a complaint, the issue still wasn't dealt with in a timely or concise manner. For this reason, I had to pull all four of my children out. Thankfully, therapy is helping with my child who suffered from relentless abuse from her aggressor at this small Charter. From our perspective through this horrendous experience, Title IV is basically non-existent at this school. Mr. Dennis O'Reilly, Head of Schools, was made aware of the situation and also did nothing but send out an email reply that didn't really bring much comfort or offer any real solutions. It's a shame, because the teachers at this school are the best we've ever had and it was really difficult to come to the decision to leave. But, I will not allow any of my children to be treated so indignantly by the person who should have their best interests at heart.

Classical Christian Education where the schooling is focused on learning while helping grow in…read morefaith. We absolutely love everything about Redeemer. The class size, the community, office staff and most importantly the teachers. The majority of the elementary teachers have been there for almost 20yrs, that says a lot.

I love teaching kindergarten at Redeemer Christian School because…read morethe small class size gives me the flexibility to focus attention where it is needed most with each student. I am able to adapt lessons as needed to reach each student where they are at. I work to prepare each student for their first grade experience as they continue in the classical approach to education. I also love that RCS uses a faith-based approach in almost all lessons, not just Bible. Faith is weaved into social studies, science, phonics, recitation, and more. It is truly a blessing to watch Kindergarteners make the connections from their Bible lessons into real life applications and grow in their faith.
