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!

My daughter attended Eduprize for 2nd grade, and I was initially very excited because the children…read moreof one of my close friends go here. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. My daughter's teacher, Ms. Bradley, was consistently unkind and lacked compassion--not just toward my child, but toward the entire class. She does not have the patience or heart needed to teach young children. Attempting to address concerns was frustrating from the start. The assistants to the vice principal and even the principal themselves refused to speak with me by phone and would only communicate through email. I ultimately had to escalate two separate issues to the superintendent. One major issue involved a classmate who caused physical harm to three students. Parents were not informed about the situation at all. When I raised my concerns, the school cited "student privacy." I made it clear I was not asking for the student's name or personal information--I simply wanted to be informed and reassured that my child was safe. When chairs are being thrown during an episode, parents deserve to know what precautions are being taken to ensure student safety, both in the classroom and throughout the school. Other parents posted how their kids legs were being clawed at when the kid was hiding under the table during his episode. And not one email went out from the teacher nor the principal. The second issue involved the school's use of i-Ready testing as the sole basis for rewards. Regardless of a child maintaining good grades all year, if they do not show improvement on i-Ready testing, they are excluded from rewards. Ms. Bradley held an ice cream party for students who showed improvement from the beginning of the year. My daughter's math i-Ready score stayed the same, so she was excluded--despite earning strong grades all year. She came home crying, saying, "I'm so dumb" and "I'm not worthy" because she didn't get to participate. Only four students were excluded, including my daughter. I showed her her report card with A's and B's and reassured her that she worked incredibly hard and is absolutely not dumb. When I followed up about the i-Ready scores not being posted, I emailed the teacher after waiting a week. I was told the school does not go by grades because i-Ready scores help maintain the school's A rating and evaluate teacher performance. I took this to mean that because my daughter did not show improvement in every subject on i-Ready, she was denied a reward because she did not make the school look better nor the teacher look better. I want to be clear that this is not a reflection of all teachers at Eduprize. Unfortunately, we ended up with a 2nd grade teacher who showed no empathy toward her students. There is a parent group monitored by school administration where parents are not allowed to freely share concerns or experiences. Because of this, another parent created a separate group. In that group, several parents have shared similar experiences regarding Ms. Bradley. One parent posted how she denied the bathroom to her son and he asked 3 separate times, he then peed himself in front of the entire class and she decided to blame him "you didn't tell me it was an emergency". It is heartbreaking to read what these 8-year-old children went through. Many kids began to hate going to school, which shows the profound impact a teacher can have on young students. No child should feel unworthy or unsafe at school.

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

I take pride in this school and my kids do too! The ONLY reason I am not giving 5 stars is because,…read moreto me, that would mean they have it all figured out and I believe that they still are SO new and have room to improve. I have 3 kids that have attended Champion San Tan since it opened 2 years ago! I love being part of something so new and fresh and, just like any other business or organization, there WILL be growing pains. They have learned a lot and have made the necessary changes to improve. I have a 5th grader, a 2nd grader, and a kindergartner. Ms. Rasmussen, Ms. Campos, and Ms. Banks are their teachers and I wouldn't have it any other way! Ms. Banks took over Kinder in my sons class a few months into the school year because the school recognized the need for a change, and they made it, and she made my kindergartner enjoy school and have a positive experience. I can't say enough about Ms. Campos, the 2nd grade teacher that we were so lucky to have. She is patient and kind and doesn't mess around. She challenges my son and takes the time that each child needs to help them succeed. Ms. Rasmussen is one the 5th grade teachers and she is amazing too! From the get go she made herself available to the parents and I love having the open communication that she provides. Every day she sends parents information about the homework so we don't feel lost if we need to help our students. Mr Boen, 4th grade teacher, came to Champion and made a huge garden that he used as a teaching tool for the kids. They condition the soil, plant the seeds, care for it while it is growing, and then they have a veggie stand after school and at the games. They see the fruits of their labor. There isn't enough space here to express the love I have for all the staff. All three of my kids are bus riders. The bus system went from hectic to more controlled this year. Sure, they have gone through several bus/van drivers but Christine, the transportation coordinator (she probably has many titles, not just driver/coordinator) has implemented so many positive changes and has made the process of transportation so much easier. The bus broke down a few weeks ago and I was informed right away and when I got to bus to pick up my kids, Christine already was there, with another driver and the two school vans, to pick up the kids and drop them home. I was informed right away when my son was hit on the bus, and they took care of the discipline of the other child and I was able to sit down with the principle and Christine to set up a plan. There are going to be issues at ANY school and I appreciate that Champion has taken the steps to hopefully correct the things that haven't gone their way. Sure, the "shooting" incident was not a positive experience but they put the clear backpacks in place and held a parent meeting to share all the information about it. I know that if I have issues I can speak to the principle and administration at any time, because they care about my kids and they want each one of their students to succeed.

Br ready to teach your own kids, this school has "at home school days". They do not provide…read moreresources to actually work at home like Chromebook or laptop, this is something you have to have. Teachers are not certified and are still "working on getting their certification" yet this uncertified teacher has 35 kids in their class room. Homework assignments are sent at the last minute of the day and expected the next morning, sports are mandatory (not for free) not to mentioned the uncoordonation of the teachers and staff. My daughter(3rd grade) has been sent home at the wrong times and they advised it wouldn't happen again yet it did, TWICE after the first incident. Needless to say I will not be enrolling her to this school next year. Hopefully Legacy Traditional schools will be a better place for my children.

We have two children who attend this school, we have a 6th grader who has attended this school…read moresince kindergarten and now his sister who is a kindergartner is attending. It is very family oriented and you'll see families come together supporting the kids and teachers at any given event. Our kindergartner is autistic and she has fit in well and is flourishing there. The school provides a lot of resources and activities for the students. They have band, orchestra, student council, mathletes, a gifted and talented program, cool clubs for the kids like kickball club and card trading club and much more. Our kindergartener registered for soccer this past fall and basketball camp during Spring Break and has just had a blast. I love how I never feel awkward at events because there aren't any "clicks" amongst the parents and kids there. There is not a religious belief pushed on to the kids here either. The principal is always out walking around and engaging with students and parents every day and has made time to discuss anything necessary when we have needed help. If you are looking for a school that will encourage your children to be the best version of themselves and to learn to make good choices...this is it. We ultimately as parents just want our kids to be kind, caring human beings in this world and this is the school that will promote that.
