There is 4 aids to 15 kids and I still felt my child was neglected. Constantly had diaper rashes and got ahold of a battery and chewed it. The nurse called me to pick up my child because they weren't sure if he swallowed battery acid. Upon arriving they sent my child back to his class. I was very upset the main principle did not want to speak to me so she assigned the assistant principle * Also, my son's teacher always dresses like she rolled out of bed.. no pride to her job and the class constantly had a sub. My son always came home smelling like poop * The class room is messy and smells as well. They are not organized at all. I can keep going and going about my opinions. I have even contacted the district and nobody ever answers. I leave messages and nobody ever returns my call. I am still searching for a school I can trust for my child to go to.

I'm writing to bring to your attention an incident that happened today, August 14th, around 3:20…read morePM, regarding my daughter Callie's school laptop. This morning, Callie accidentally left her laptop at home, so I brought it to the school around 9:00 AM. When I dropped it off at the front desk, the receptionist Mellisa mentioned that she "might be able to get it to her." I assumed she was joking, so I left it with her. Later in the day, I found out that Callie never received her laptop. When I returned to the front desk, I expressed that if it wasn't going to be delivered to her, I would have preferred to take it back with me. The receptionist mentioned that she thought it was for homework, but in fact, Callie needed it for classwork during her last period today. I also want to note that this is only the second time Callie has forgotten her laptop, yet the receptionist claimed it had happened three or four times, which is simply not true. I was disappointed to hear an inaccurate statement about my daughter's track record, especially when it could impact how she is perceived. I wanted to make you aware of this situation because it caused Callie to miss an important class activity. I understand everyone is busy, but I hope we can ensure that items critical to a student's classwork are delivered in a timely manner in the future and that communication remains accurate and respectful. Thank you for your time and understanding. Sincerely Jaylene . P

I had the opportunity to substitute teach at Acclaim Academy this past April and May 2023. I was…read morepleasantly surprised and impressed with the school's learning environment. This is a safe and clean school and it shows by how engaged and respectful their students are. This is the first school I have experienced with a "no cell phone policy." This is huge! There are no cell phones allowed during school hours, so there are no distractions in the classroom or on the school premises. As a result, students are totally engaged, respectful, and device distraction-free. How refreshing! Acclaim Academy offers a clean environment. This is also the first school I have experienced with cleaning and custodial services being performed throughout the entire school day from start to finish. The halls, classrooms, and restroom facilities are fresh and spotlessly clean, and the grounds are well maintained. This clean and distraction-free environment enhances learning. Acclaim Academy also reinforces responsibility. This could been seen in laptop charging stations being wheeled from classroom to classroom, essentially following the student with their assigned laptop, rather than students grabbing any laptop from a stationary charging station that remains in each classroom. As a result, the laptops are in excellent condition because each student is responsible for their care. Acclaim Academy's administration and faculty are dedicated and excellent to deal with. Classrooms are orderly, students are eyes-front and engaged with the teacher and lesson plan at all times. It was a pleasure filling in as a substitute teacher.

They are professional, knowledgeable, and motivated. The students I have interviewed seem happy and alert. I asked one Grade 2 student what they did at beginning of the day and he said something about studying the city of Phoenix. I asked him who the mayor was. Without hesitation, he said, "Greg Stanton." When I asked how he knew that, he replied, "I looked it up on the internet." That was in November, so early in his Grade 2 year. The administration and their staff are conscientious and eager to accommodate the needs of students, parents, teachers and the community. They are excellent.
