My little cousins are getting called racial slurs and even to the point of being physically abused. We went to the front administration and they pretty much said don't worry we will take care of it and that was it. Fast forward a few months now my cousin is coming home with headaches because kids at Perry decided it was a good idea to throw rocks and other objects at my cousin. This crossed the line. Perry high only did anything to this bully ( Henry Whitt ) because we got police involved now. Shame on you Perry high. This is suppose to be a safe environment where our kids can come and learn but no. This place has turned to a nightmare for many kids that dread going to school because of all the bully's. I guess perry high supports bullying on their campus now..... such a shame. Don't send your kids here unless you want them to go through the same thing.

They have given great thought to making sure that the parents are involved in every single assignment and preparing for tests. If your child drops a grade level you are notified via the school application, email and phone call. Parents, gone are the days of asking your children do you have homework? What assignments are due? Because you can now look that up. We have a white boards in the hallway with the assignments and when they're due and how much grade is weighted on each one. There are no more surprises of I didn't know this was due. All of the teachers are insightful and dedicated. Some are a bit dry, some are a little stiff but overall if they weren't good at their job they wouldn't be there. I get the feeling that the Higley School district does not embrace a teacher's tenure over their quality. All of the teachers offer tutoring you just have to work around their schedule. The school has many clubs and sports for young people to get involved in. The homecoming football game that I attended the kids were well-behaved respectful and had a wonderful time. I think it's a real privilege to live in the school district. Good Luck

It's been quite a while since I attended this school, but there are still things my teachers taught…read moreme that I carry with me today. Mr. Higgins, my science teacher, had a rule that everyone had to raise their hand, even if we didn't know the answer. If he called on us and we didn't know, we were taught to say, "I don't know yet." That has genuinely stuck with me. I've brought that same mindset into my workplace, and it's amazing how much of a difference those three little letters can make. Not knowing something doesn't mean you can't learn it. I really hope Mr. Higgins is still teaching, and if he has moved on, I hope that mindset has continued with the teachers who came after him. Ms. Holloway was an amazing English teacher and someone I'll always remember. She knew how to build real rapport with her students and make you feel comfortable in her classroom. Even after all this time, I still remember the way she connected with us and how much I looked up to her. Ms. Patricia, my ceramics teacher, taught me another lesson I've carried with me. She was very clear about the boundaries in her classroom and held us to them, while still giving us plenty of freedom to be ourselves and be creative. As I've gotten older, I've realized how important that was. There is freedom within boundaries, but you have to respect where the line is. These all seem like such small things when you're sitting in a middle school classroom, but they ended up having a real impact on how I approach life today. I'm grateful I went to a school with teachers who taught lessons that went far beyond the classroom.

This review reflects our experience at the Val Vista campus only and is specific to the current…read moreadministration there: We enrolled believing a small, faith-based school would provide stronger leadership, accountability, and a more protected learning environment than public options. That was not our experience. Beneath the polished tours and Christian branding, leadership at this campus proved ineffective, dismissive, and unwilling to meaningfully address serious concerns raised by families. Many parents are drawn to a Christian school hoping to shield children from age-inappropriate influences; ironically, in our personal experience, our children were exposed to more inappropriate language and behavior here than they had been in a Chandler public school, with limited administrative response. Administration frequently emphasized high demand to attend, yet from our firsthand experience and conversations with other parents, just as many families appeared to be leaving. Academic quality and classroom professionalism raised serious questions about how teachers are hired, their qualifications, and why turnover seemed high. Tuition and a Christian label do not automatically guarantee a better education, stronger values, or responsible leadership. This review is shared in good faith to encourage families to look beyond appearances and ask direct questions about leadership accountability, discipline policies, teacher hiring practices, and retention before enrolling.

As a former student that used to attend this school for a very long time....Do not do it. I've been…read moreout of this school for a bit so I've had some time to really think about my experience. This school is very strict. It only makes the outspoken students more unruly, and the quiet ones more submissive. I heard some truly vile ideas being discussed in class from teachers and students. Mainly boys who would make violent sexual comments about girls and get away with it. At this school it was always minimizing the bad problems to not raise concern, and elevating the tiny problems to cover up what really needed to be addressed. Everything. I. Did. Was. An. Issue. I was terrified of these people and the way they intimidated me and my friends for just doing what kids do. The bad memories far outweigh the good. I wish I hadn't spent so much time here, I wish I could've spoken up for myself without being plagued by peer pressure. Lots of my former teachers had a superiority god complex and would try to overwhelm students into passivity. Going to hell should not be something elementary students should be afraid of. Young girls shouldn't be belittled and sexually shamed. These are supposed to be teachers, but their mindset reaks of, privileged, close minded white people with no accountability outside of themselves for who they're surround by. The education is one note, no room for any other opinion, no room for inclusivity. These are all growing children that will grow up to be very different people. The shameful, controlling, one way thinking is what damaged me the most..it breaks you down every day and children are the most impressionable. Under the smiles and scriptures plastered on the wall is all hate and aggression towards people who aren't like them.. loud worship music and a fancy campus doesn't eliminate the glaring problems with this school. These teachers are hypocrites. If you want your child to follow god, the worst thing you can do is shove it down their throats. I couldn't breathe at this school without feeling monitored, like I was walking on eggshells. It's neat, tidy, structured. It's absolute hell for kids who are just trying to have fun with their friends. I missed out on memories, the ability to be my own person without shame. I lost a lot of friends when I left because so many truly couldn't think for themselves without being told what to believe in. Thinking about all the years I spent here makes me sad and resentful. No i'm not a Christian as you can tell, but that shouldn't make my opinion any less more valid. Funny you guys turned off your google reviews btw, very funny indeed. You can run but you can't hide from the trail of angry atheist students you leave in your wake. I hope I can move on, I hope I can forgive my parents for sending me here and ignoring my complaints. I hope every student here can one day fully embrace who they're meant to be, not who they're told to be.

If you own a business and Gilbert High School asks for a donation or sponsorship beware. I offered…read morea donation at their request, my only caveat was that I get a receipt, not a tax form that anyone can get off their website, mind you, a receipt. They came in to pickup the donation and refused to issue a receipt, so the donation was not issued. As a revenge tactic Wade Baize leaves a 1 star review because he is so upset that, per policy, I cannot issue the donation without a receipt. How embarrassing for the school that a faculty member trashes a small local business that was willing to help. Wade Baize should be ashamed of himself. The entitlement is off the charts. My associate watched as I explained to him the requirements over and over and refutes his claims I was "rude" do not offer donations to this school if you value your sanity and business as Wade Baize will try and tear it down.

In Parker's Government class, this family member had to deal with massive discrimination that all started with the family members' and Parker's political beliefs not correlating with each other. They had turned in an assignment that was OPINIONATED BASED and got a 50%.... Think about that! A 100% completed assignment that only asked questions regarding the opinion of the student and got a 50% for expressing their opinion... Parker had pushed her own political beliefs and taught 99% of her curriculum based off her political stances. Parker had her class watch a documentary of a celebrities' political stance (which aligned with her own)... celebrities political stances should have nothing to do with a government class! Parker's class was proven to actually be a POLITIC CONVERSION CLASS. This class taught students nothing other than the opinions/ views that's are different from Parker's' are invalid. A PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL should not be teaching government class based upon an educator's PERSONAL political beliefs, it should not be taught that someone's personal beliefs is held higher or are more important than another's. What Parker is teaching these young adults are so immorally wrong! The fact that it takes a review to get this school to take notice of what this teacher is doing is so beyond sad. Do better.
