It is the best K -8 school in the valley, and I am pleased that my kids are the products of Valley…read moreAcademy! The teachers are great and very attentive. They provide a nurturing environment for the kids. The curriculum is strong, and they are pretty much rounded with other extracurricular activities, too, unlike other schools, which do not entertain that. My only complaint is I wish they had a high school. When my son moved to high school, even though he had completed the basic levels of certain subjects in Valley Academy, he couldn't take the advanced level because the new high school didn't recognize the levels at Valley Academy since they don't have a high school. That's a huge bummer

This school is still struggling like all other Arizona schools but the staff really do try…read more School's performance letter grade was a "B" for last year. And its still a fairly new campus. They are rising up. I don't hear many good things on the principal & to tell you the truth she might want to change careers. Maybe a district super attendant position with no parent/student or human contact? She is above calling back or emailing a concerned parent. BUT the assistant principal, Ms. Chapman, does make up for the principals lacking. She is prompt & courteous. And I thought for a long time she was the principal as she is so involved. She truly loves her job. Many teachers are younger and thus less experienced but they are bright & excited to teach. Many AZ schools are doing this I hear to to pay less for their faculty. Is it true? Not sure. Anyways, one thing this school does & I LOvE them for it is play the national anthem every morning! Nothing like enjoying my days off & being filled with patriotic pride from my kids school down the street. The population is primarily Hispanic. Though many parents don't speak English they are very involved. All school concerts are always a hit. Family orientated for sure. The front office girls deserve an award. All indoor campus is also nice. Again, those front office rock stars, such as Grace, are the gatekeepers at the front of the school & protect our babies as they monitor who enters the building. Hence, you better sign in & get visitor badges before they buzz you in. Thank you Tres Rios! Go Pumas!

Disappointed, we have been looking around for a private school for my 5 year old son. We called to…read moreget information and a possible tour, my husband got in touch with I believe the admissions lead. Her immediate tone about our son previously attending a public school for preschool came off condescending, basically saying he would not be able to keep up with the curriculum. Before even evaluating or meeting us. This could be an incredible school, but they need to reconsider the way they treat potential student families. We will look elsewhere.

We couldn't be more pleased with the staff and teachers of Bayer. Our oldest daughter has been…read moreenrolled at Bayer for 3 years beginning with the PreK 3 program, she will be starting the 1st grade this fall. Her reading, writing, math, and problem-solving comprehension are extremely advanced for a 6-year-old. The teachers she has had in the 3 years she's been at Bayer have all been great to work with. They are committed to their kids, and their success. I can't speak to the negative comments regarding this school. But as a parent of a child going into first grade and of one going into the PreK 3 program this fall, I would recommend this school to anyone who is willing to put in the work to be successful. Bayer is a challenging school, the teachers and curriculum ask a lot of the kids and their parents. If you are not willing to work hard with your child and show them how to work hard, they will not have a good time. Our daughter has learned the value of putting in work and seeing the payoff. I think in today's world, teaching respect, hard work and discipline are very important. These are things that a child barely out of Kindergarten is learning. This is a great school, and I am excited to watch our children grow and learn here.
