They just joined a club afterschool and they wish it was everyday. Mrs. Mensing, their teacher, is amazing. She has so much patience with the children and keeps me up to date on what they're working on at school. They both have Dyslexia, so they have IEP's. The special ed. teachers are fabulous, especially Mrs. South. Their reading has improved so much in just a few months! You can tell that the teachers at La Paloma really care about the children and take the time to get to know them.

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.

Da Vinci Tree Academy is a great school to bring your kids to. I sent my eldest here and she…read moregraduated last year and managed to get into UHS thanks to the quality education the school has provided for our child. Our second child though transferred to Da Vinci Tree Academy from a TUSD school. I wish we had enrolled him at Da Vinci instead of a TUSD school because our son got bullied so much he would literally fight us every morning to go to school and would cry and complain when we picked him up from school, saying it's our fault he's even going to school. The TUSD administration were of no help and our complaints fell on deaf ears, so we decided to move to Da Vinci so our son can stay with her older sister. The first grade teacher back then was Ms. Hayde and she showed our son that not all teachers are alike and she brought our son's interest in learning back. For our third child, we straight up enrolled her at Da Vinci and her teacher Mr. Adam was the BOMB! My daughter is really super talkative and would often just ignore her school work to learn, but Mr. Adam had done some serious change in our daughter and she was so excited to learn and go to school. I can't explain how wonderful it is to be a part of the school because the teachers and staff are really caring and would go out of their way to know the students and their parents. I would often pick up our kids and you'd see how all the kids would just go up and hug the teachers before leaving the school, even if they are the front staff members. The students in the school aren't just a number, but family. We once went to a school fundraising event at Peter Piper Pizza and it's hilarious how all these kids from different grades would just greet each other and hang out and the staff would really be up there talking to us parents and it's so heartwarming for us parents that the school staff really be warm and kind even outside the school. I have two more kids waiting to attend Da Vinci.. I guess you can say all my kid are Da Vinci Tree Academy kids! :)

So far so good. Our kinder experience at Basis Tucson Primary has been a lot better than our prek…read moreexperience at Leman Academy. The school strongly emphasizes academics and kids are given letter/percentage grades like high schools do. Yes there's pressure but nothing we can't handle so far. My complaints: 1. De-prioritization of physical activity. You have to put your child in an after school club (more money) for dance, bowling, and other movement-based activities. I had the opportunity to volunteer to help with hot lunch once. I learned a lot. Like just how short lunch is; it explained why my daughter was hungry but had uneaten food in her lunch last semester. Volunteering has opened my eyes and I started packing her lunches a little differently 2. It's a charter school so they have to raise money. However, the fundraiser updates in the app are ridiculous. Class vs class, grade vs grade. Everyone hurry and donate before the deadline...use the AZ tax credit...oh the deadline has been extended so you can donate more (no surprise) None of the issues I mentioned are major to me. Why? Because my kindergartener is reading, can read digital and analog clocks, she can add double-digit numbers, etc but her friends who are in 1st and 2nd grade in TUSD schools aren't there yet. The academic advantage Basis provides is unparalleled without attending an expensive private school But there are pros and cons to each school and I've included a couple for potential parents considering the school

Now this sounds a lot like bullying to me from the teachers to student. If a student concerns, uncomfortable, and would like to leave the room they should, am I wrong? Now this has been going on all year and I've been quiet about it. I'm not pleased with the staff nor the faculty on how they pursue my daughter into wanting her to change instead of developing her strengths the way that needs to be done and I feel really awful and shameful for bringing her to the school. I will never recommend Basis. I hope you guys change the way that you view your students they are not robots. They are human beings and if they feel uneasy about a situation, they have the right to speak up.

I feel that when Mr. Ewald was the principal, the school was an amazing place. The overall morale…read moreamong students, parents, and staff was much more positive, and there was a stronger sense of community and support throughout the school. Since Ms. Chartier took over as principal, it feels like the school has unfortunately started to fall apart in several areas. Academically, many classes seem to be falling behind, and there are growing concerns from parents about the quality of education students are receiving. More importantly, many students no longer feel safe or supported at school, which is extremely concerning for families who trust the school with their children every day. Another issue that has become very noticeable is favoritism. Many parents and even staff members have expressed frustration about unequal treatment and the lack of consistency when addressing concerns. I have personally spoken with several staff members and parents who say they have repeatedly tried to resolve issues, but their concerns are often dismissed. Many describe Ms. Chartier as rude, unprofessional, and difficult to communicate with. It is especially upsetting to see front office staff having to apologize to parents and students because of the way situations are handled. No staff member should feel responsible for smoothing over embarrassing or negative interactions caused by school leadership. Overall, it is heartbreaking to see such a decline in the school environment compared to how things were under Mr. Ewald's leadership. I truly wish Mr. Ewald would have remained principal because the school felt more organized, welcoming, and supportive during his time there.
