School might be great but you have to get in first. If you are not rich and white or brown and poor…read moreyou will have a challenge.A special education teacher is one that denied my child admission because she self diagnosed my kid as ADHD after spending 6 minutes with him. My child went on to a competitive middle school (PCDS) since she had the hand in denying him admission and has now completed his semester freshmen year at PRINCETON with all A's. My neighbors kid was a member of the church and her student was denied for kindergarten because he couldn't draw a complete circle! SERIOUSLY! he is now a sophomore at BROPHY! How the diocese allows this school to deny their own based on one person's opinion is scary. So parents do not be discouraged if your child is denied admission here since they are "selective". Your child will be okay.

This is just a fantastic school. We enrolled our son here last year and I can't tell you how great…read morethe faculty, teachers, administration and community have been. This school also has many benefits that other private schools don't have, like Campus Ministry, A Counselor and A Special Ed. Coordinator who are all wonderful and truly have our child's best interest in mind. The school is also very focused on service to others and the kids treat each other and adults with respect which I have not found in many school nowadays. I highly recommend St. Francis Elementary!

The current principal, Ms. Cervantes, is responsive and creative and has brought in some incredible teachers who are willing to go above and beyond for their students. The positive energy radiates through everyone and this school is safe place where children thrive. A bonus for this school is that they support families with children that may have 504 plans or IEPs. They take these seriously and have additional support for ALL children. It has been a godsend to not fear sending my younger two boys to school and having their spirits broken by the educational system. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking for smaller class sizes, high quality education, and support.

After school kids are let out in the front of the school where several adults are standing. Anyone can take your kid. Education: This school does not invest in your student. If you did not start there in kindergarten they have no interest or the capacity to teach your student. The teachers state the classrooms are too large and only have one teacher and no aid so they don't have time to support each kid. The classrooms are old and the principal comes on a little too strong. He uses scare tactics to push kids out of the school to maintain the A rating.

We are open enrollment for the madison district due my work. I cannot say enough positive about the district. The parent involvement is incredible!

It's a wonderful place to be for my daughter.

Although I've been involved in several Florence Crittenton fundraisers in the past, I had never…read morebeen to their facility until last night. As I sat with the girls that were involved in "The Big Give" and waited for the board meeting to begin, I looked around in awe at what a great facility we were in. I was happy to see that this is available for AZ's youth in need. This is a fantastic organization that provides safety, hope, and opportunity for girls that are in need. I did learn that Florence Crittenton has been helping those who suffer from abuse, neglect, teen pregnancy or mental health problems for over 100 years. Today, the agency provides shelter, education, counseling, and social support for girls ages 12-21 and enjoys a reputation for innovative programs that focus on the individual needs of each girl. I cannot do it justice to attempt to explain everything that this non-profit organization does, but if you are interested in learning more, I recommend checking it out. Get involved as a volunteer or make a donation, attend one of their events, just do something to give back; you'll be happy you did!
