Working here was an extremely disappointing experience. The workplace environment was…read moreunprofessional, stressful, and lacked respect for employees. Management, especially the director, often came across as rude, dismissive, and unsupportive. At first, things may seem welcoming, but over time the true environment becomes clear. There was little patience, poor communication, and a lack of accountability from leadership. Many staff members have left because of how they were treated. For a place responsible for teaching and caring for children, the leadership does not always reflect the values of kindness, understanding, and professionalism that should be expected. I would not recommend working here, nor would I suggest having your children attend here as the environment is toxic.

They had VERY poor communication when it came to hand foot mouth outbreak, so we unfortunately had to heal from that. My son was also bitten ON THE FACE by another child, and I also had to take him to the ER after his elbow was dislocated from one of the teachers improperly picking him up. This place needs to be investigated and shut down. We are still suffering.

If your child has disabilities they WILL NOT get the support and assistance justifiably needed for…read moretheir educational needs. I would NEVER recommend a parent taking their child or children to Kyrene Middle School if they have disabilities. I've been fighting them since 6th grade to do an Evaluation on my child who has been medically diagnosed with Autisim and other disabilities through a psychologist and other professionals who can diagnose disabilities. Barely able to finally get them to evaluate my child during this year as a 7th grader. However as per IDEA act of 2004 the school and district did not comply with the laws and complete the Evaluation in the appropriate time frame. I had to file a complaint with the Az Education School Board. My child has been through so much this year and we've had to attend so many meetings both for their 504 Plan and for trying to attain an IEP. Last but not least An Individual Education Evaluation was done on my child by an outside party not associated with the Kyrene School district and paid for by the district. Hoping this Evaluation would help to attain my child an IEP. My child has once again been denied. We've had 3 instances where we've been told by staff at KMS that my child may have medical diagnoses of disabilities, but educationally it is not prevalent. Yet my child struggles yearly and without her parents being on top of them their grades would be F or Ds. 3 meetings this year we have been told my child is not eligible for an IEP and only Eligible for an 504 Plan because the needs of my child are better met through the 504. I wish this were true, but staff are not held accountable and plenty of staff I feel are just there for a pay check and do not want to put the extra effort in to help students with special needs. Children with special needs seem to consistently fall through the cracks, especially if their higher functioning. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD TO KYRENE IF THEY HAVE DISABILITIES. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL AS HAS BEEN WITH OUR CASE.

This has been the worst public school experience imaginable. The school's complete disregard for my…read moreson's needs and disabilities speaks volumes about their indifference to students. They allowed him to be relentlessly bullied, leading to anxiety so severe he had to start medication--and even suffered an allergic reaction to this medication. Their only concern was an empty seat not his well being. Despite his struggles, Mrs. McIntyre denied him an IEP, claiming he was in advanced classes so that disqualified him, only offering minimal support through a 504 plan after significant delay (requested July, had a meeting in September, didn't get a copy until November with an October date listed as the start date.) The final straw was the tragic loss of another student to bullying, underscoring the school's failure to address serious issues. We had no choice but to pull our child out. This school will destroy both your child's well-being and your peace of mind. Please don't subject your children to this environment. We took it to the district level and were met with promises of getting in touch but silence once again. I wasn't told about a "bully packet" until the school resource officer told us after we withdrew our child from the school.
