Flagstaff Academy is a charter school that I see as problematic. The math program in particular has…read morebeen an issue from the beginning and everyone in the administration knows this is true. A simple Google search will turn up research that proves that their various levels of mathematics for every grade level, discourages children in learning and creates math anxiety. When shown this research, the administration says there is nothing they can do about it because it's part of the charter. If your child is in a accelerated math group and then gets dropped to the next level down for the next year because of enrollment, etc. they will be learning the same math over again and will be bored and discouraged. When I transferred my children to public school after being years at Flagstaff Academy, my oldest, who was in accelerated math, had giant gaps missing in their math education. The teachers in the public school were not surprised they had seen this happen repeatedly from Flagstaff. My youngest child could not write more than a paragraph summation. I had to get my child extra summer writing lessons to catch up with their public school peers (who standard was riding five paragraphs). Also when we were there, not every teacher was teaching the same curriculum. The elementary had changed math curriculums so often that two of the teachers refused to switch. My kid wrote their college essay on the shock they received being moved from accelerated math at Flagstaff to public school math. I will never forgive myself. There are protections and standards in public schools that you will not find in a charter. Consider carefully your choice. My favorite part of their reply below is where they call me a liar. I would strongly suggest that you send your children to a public school that doesn't consider themselves a "business"

Not only does this affect us, but it's made our son feel like dirt. Pretty upset about the decision the principal made in regards to our son. This is a direct reflection of the school as a whole because most likely they are only worried about their numbers. Instead of making children feel worse about themselves, especially since we toured and I did all the work to get the school the IEP and transcripts and then tell him no. Thanks Twin Peaks.

At 2:57 PM, when my son got out of school, I called the front office to let them know I was going to be late due to attending a funeral. I asked Gianna in the front office what time the office closed, and she informed me it stayed open until 3:45 PM. I told her I would get there as soon as possible, considering I was coming from over an hour away on the other side of town. I was rushing through traffic trying my best to get to my son. When I arrived, Mrs. Tallman immediately began shaking her head at me and telling me I did not give the school enough notice, that staff members had family meetings, and that she personally had to cancel a meeting because of my lateness. She also stated, "We are not your babysitter," directly in front of my son. I understand being late can inconvenience staff, and I take accountability for arriving after the office closing time. However, I had communicated ahead of time due to an unexpected life event, and this is not a repeated issue for me. The most I have ever been late before was 15-20 minutes due to traffic in Colorado. What upset me most was the manner in which this situation was handled. I felt publicly scolded and judged as a mother in front of my child, rather than spoken to respectfully and privately. Life circumstances happen, and while I understand school policies must be followed, I believe this could have been addressed with more professionalism, understanding, and compassion.

Our older son (now 14) graduated from BVWS last year, having been here since his early years…read more Looking back, we're amazed at how the school shaped him -- not just academically, but as a whole person. He left with a strong foundation in math, science, and writing, but also with creativity, confidence, and a deep sense of compassion. The combination of academics, arts, music, and hands-on learning really gave him a well-rounded education that will serve him for life. Our younger son is now in middle school at BVWS, and he is thriving. Middle school can be a tough transition, but the small class sizes and dedicated teachers make such a difference. He feels seen, supported, and challenged in ways that bring out his best. The curriculum balances academic rigor with opportunities for growth through orchestra, theater, outdoor education, and practical projects -- things that keep him engaged and excited about learning. What stands out most is the sense of community. BVWS feels like an extended family where teachers, parents, and students truly know and support one another. It's a nurturing, values-based environment that helps children grow into capable, compassionate young people. We're grateful to have found a school that educates the head, heart, and hands -- and we would highly recommend BVWS to any family looking for something more meaningful than a traditional school experience.

My husband attended St. John's elementary and middle school and our (5) children have all attended St. John's too. We never entertained another choice because we know that Catholic education is the best gift we can give our children.

St. John's provides the highest academic standards to our children and nurtures and forms strong faith filled students that also learn compassion, virtue and worthiness. My own children have gone on to attend Holy Family High School with great spiritual and academic successes. Thank you St. John's for helping me raise five beautiful human beings with gracious souls.

They provide healthy snacks and have fun playground sections for each age group. My son's vocabulary, letters, numbers and social skills have all improved so much since he has been there. I can't wait to see all of my daughter's improvements. I highly recommend Sunset. I feel it's not the cheapest in the area but defiantly the best. They do so many activities with my son's class. They have art projects and seasonal projects. They learn about respect and friendship. They are awesome because they have early drop offs and late pickups. I don't always utilize those options but when I do it's really awesome. They facility is very clean and has high cleanliness standards. The kitchen always provides healthy snacks even for my son whose a picky eater.

They can feed goats, sheep, bighorn sheep, alpacas through fence. Chickens are turkeys are running around free and it's set up great that you can roam and not feel like your on top of other guests. They have a sandbox type silo, a bunch of toy trucks to play with, some climbing and swinging items and a small play house (we did not go in because a bunch of kids were playing). I would say go early bring a lunch and sit out and play and let kids explore. It's a little pricy $15 for anyone over 12 months so a family of 4 is $60 but I'm sure it helps the farm keep well maintained. I would go back and recommend to anyone with small kids.
