    Fantastic school - actually a K-8. No HS. Real commitment to individual attention for all students regardless of how much help they need!

    Xavier College Preparatory - These little guys are hilarious!

    Love this school, my daughters a Junior and she loves it too. I am an Arizona Native and did not…read morehave the means to go when I was young

    This is a private preparatory Catholic high school…read more It is an extremely snobbish, cliquish, money grubbing institution. I almost enrolled my granddaughter here but I was appalled how I was treated by the admissions office. Charge me for this, charge me for that, you ticked the wrong, you used the wrong color pen, no,no and no, you did this wrong, etc. etc. If your child belongs to one of Phoenix's upper middle class and above families, then this school is perfect for him or her. However, if your child is just average Phoenix middle or working class, he or she will be discriminated against silently, mocked, derided, looked down up and generally made to feel out of place. When I was going through the admissions process with my granddaughter, I contacted many of the parents who had sent their children initially to Xavier. An amazing 60% told me that they had regretted their decision very much and many had pulled their child from the school. Given the child abuse scandals currently affecting the Catholic Church and the degree to which it is now affecting the Catholic Church, I would no longer be able in any confidence to confide my child to a Catholic institution for fear of irreparable damage. Choose a charter school, a Protestant school, or an excellent public high school and research it well. Otherwise, be prepared to have a damaged child morally and physically.

    Both of my boys graduated from Brophy. They are expensive but worth the money! I wanted good…read moreChristian male role models for my sons as I am a single mom. As a Jesuit institution I was very impressed with their inclusivity as well as the amazing credentials of the teaching staff. They are able enforce rules that the public school system is sorely lacking. My oldest son learned so much from his teachers and developed a passion for engineering through work at the "IC" which is innovation commons. He learned to 3-D print, program and loved the remote control club. This launched him into a career in aeronautical engineering. My younger son took enough AP courses that he is almost a year ahead and will be able to triple major as a result at Syracuse University. The dean, President and staff are so supportive. Their mission programs are also a unique offering that is life changing. My older son went on a mission to Peru that changed his life! It was hard work physically, but I was most impressed by the attitude change. He learned a lot about himself and the world around him. He returned grateful, no longer a picky eater, and with a servants heart. At Brophy they truly strive and help develop Men for Others.

    Top notch education. The price is expensive but worth it - I would send my second son here if I had…read moreone. Although we only attended for 2 years, the education was worth it before my son wanted to attend a public school for a better chance at playing college sports (scouting) and more of a selection for friends/groups.

    Cocopah Middle School - This was our ELA sixth grade teacher (I will cover him on my reply)

    Cocopah Middle School

    So, I don't wanna sound like some random upset teenager who just doesn't like middle school in…read moregeneral, but Cocopah is really not the best for some people. And I would STRONGLY advise this comment should be read if you are interested in enrolling your child. I have witnessed many students being bullied to the point of suicidal thoughts and the teachers do absolutely nothing. The community in general are actually not the nicest people anyway. Also, there is not currently a nurse?? My younger brother is in seventh grade and nearly everyone isn't doing that well academically. Also, I've noticed some of the staff seemed to not care that much due to how much students they have. When I was here, only one staff member actually checked up on me and my friend (nope not the counselor) I remember I was doing very bad in math and not the best grade in ELA, both of the teachers were late to the student conference (and left early) that I had scheduled a week before, rude much. Also, they have a very interesting mindset, especially counselors, they would constantly guilt trip and gaslight me and my parents into constantly putting me in honors (which was definitely not a good idea) just add one more thing. This school is HUGE along with Chaperel, which it feeds into. So I don't entirely blame the teachers for being overwhelmed. But yet again, this is the job they signed up for, and they must have proper work etiquette. There is also a problem in eighth grade with pressuring into vaping and teen s*x which is not managed as much as it should. A lot of the kids there are a very bad influence. (and I'm not trying to be a saint, it's genuinely bad.) they should also be a bit stricter on the dress code, I mean, you can wear practically anything, and a lot of people bullied because they don't have a certain (expensive) clothing item. I know this is long, but it's very important and I could add a lot more. My family certainly got fed up with it and we switched in the eighth grade. I would overall not recommend this school sorry if this offended anyone. (one more thing, READ THIS apparently this school doesn't do much of a background check on its teachers since they literally hired someone who was addicted to child p*rn and g*re (shout out to Michael Gill I hope you rot in jail )

    Horrible school. Horrible teachers. Horrible principal. Spineless principal who covers for ignorant…read moreteachers who pick on children they've decided they don't like. Teachers who attempt to intimidate the children and parents in meetings then get shown proof of their lies and manipulation and "Mr. Shrimp" principal goes "shocked" faced and pretends it's all new to him. Teachers who literally hate kids and treat them like crap are teaching here. Lazy and never update grades in their "awesome" app and when asked why they aren't up to date, blame the kids. Constant emails that go unanswered. Teachers giving excessive homework with unrealistic due dates (some with so much work that has to be "done only in class") and give no time in class to do it so kids have to give up their lunch and after school to complete it. Kids in tears because it's too much and teachers expectations are absurd THEN don't put the grades in the grade book because they "can complete it on their own schedule" causing kids to stress out and are upset their grades look like failing grades. SUSD has dropped the ball here and I will tell everyone every chance I can what a sh*tty school this is.
