This school is embarrassingly terrible. Their Google reviews were so bad that they removed the…read moreability for parents to leave a review on Google for them. My kids used to go to Benjamin Franklin charter schools and were two grades ahead of their peers when we moved them over to ALA. Now, our children can barely pass their grades. Additionally, their administration is piss poorly managed. This school does not give one flying crap about your child. They care about one thing and one thing only and that is making money. This is made obvious by the fact that this school allows children who have been kicked out of other schools for different reasons to come to this school and cause problems within the school, making it difficult for kids who want to have a good education to get one. They refuse to expel problem children which causes this school to no longer be an elite learning institution but instead has turned into thug babysitting. Recently, my child's life was threatened by another student. All they did was suspend the child for three days instead of expelling him from the school. Glenn Way should be embarrassed but he refuses to address the blaring issues.

If you would like your sixth grade Son to be taught about the Quran and how evolution is racist…read morethis is the school for you. Mr. Ellis has been going out of his way to teach the students about the Quran and being Muslim and how it is the correct way and that evolution isn't real and is racist. He takes time out of the class when the kids should be learning so that he can impose his religion onto your children. They have an inability to keep any type of quality teacher. For the first 3/4 of the year, my son had a teacher from the Philippines that could not speak English long enough to hold a conversation more than three words sentences. This is who they have teaching your children. Not only that the administration will sit here and tell you how they don't have transgender students. All you have to do is sit at the sidewalk and watch there is plenty of them. But when one puts their hands on your student and your student retaliates, your student gets in trouble so they can protect the faculties family member. Believe the negative reviews they are all real. Any other school is better than this I mean, look what happened to Preston, Lord

My 7 year old Daughter (2nd Grade) use to attend San Tan Elementary, but after every night of her…read morecoming home crying because of the lack of discipline in the school I pulled her out, and took the available spot Edu-prize had called me about. Edu-prize has changed my daughters life, and she is reading better then ever, getting hundreds on her spelling tests, and is even doing really well in Math and LOVES going to school. She has had such an easy time making friends in Edu-prize, and her teacher Mrs. Gant is AMAZING and I would ask for her if you have a kid going into the second grade. So far all the teachers my daughter has dealt with at Edu-prize have been amazing and you are one of the lucky ones if you are able to get your kids into this school!

Will update this review as I gather more information. While acknowledging growing pains with any…read moreschool change, our first experiences haven't been wow-ing. I sincerely hope my kids settle in, We were told EDUPRIZE is a good school, but the way my kids talked after school left me feeling unsure if we made the correct choice. They said 28 kids are sat at a 20 kid table during lunch, which is concerning for many reasons. Spreading of germs/sickness, lice, personal bubbles. One of my kids said they couldn't find a place to sit and had to squeeze into a place they weren't comfortable. They also said older grades are not allowed on the playground and that their recess time is spent walking around doing nothing if they aren't lucky enough to get one of three balls and be invited to play. All K-6 kids need recess, play, and opportunities for positive social interactions and friendship-building. This is so important to one of my children that they want to switch schools after the first day. I told them to give it some time, that things always get better, but a parent always worries about their child.

My son started at this school when he was just three in the preschool program, then moved into…read morePre-K, and now he's in Kindergarten. Having that early start made the transition into Kinder so much easier--for him and for me--because he already knew the teachers, routines, and campus. We've truly loved every teacher he's had; they've all been so kind, caring, and supportive. I really appreciate how they not only focus on academics but also help with social situations, like when he's had little playground or line issues with friends. The growth I've seen in him has been incredible--he's already learning and doing so much more than I expected, thanks to the strong foundation he got in preschool and Pre-K. Most importantly, he's happy, confident, and loves coming to school each day. I couldn't ask for a better experience and am so excited to see how he continues to grow this year.

I was there for 6 years, the school education is horrible. Leading Edge is behind public and…read morecharter schools in the Valley, though it says otherwise. I had an IEP form that was not accurate or understandable when reviewed by my new school. The Leading Edge staff made changes to the information without my parent or guardians permission and knowledge. I had been threatened by the vice principal that she would be calling the cops due to throwing an empty plastic water bottle at a student who was physically assaulting another kid. The school staff, withheld my transcripts when they learned I was going to another school. My parents contacted LEA MULTIPLE TIMES, even going into the school to get them before we received the transcripts. Leading Edge staff protect bullies due to their parents being on staff. These students cause problems constantly but are never addressed, creating a sense of disruption, anxiety, and fear among the students. I and other students have had things stolen from our bags multiple times, and when the staff was told that the police would be involved the item would mysteriously return the next day in our bag. For Spirit week, the principal and vice principal dressed up in onesies and pacifiers, riding tricycles and talking to students like babies. They also had scoops of ice cream in their hands which they had students, of several grades, lick off. The students were then encouraged to do the same to each other in front of the school. Some teachers and staff treated the students really well, but the majority of the staff bullied and neglected the students.
