The gals in the office are always kind to us when we come in to drop off items for the students. I like how I see the staff interacting with the students while out and about. A lot of teens in Surprise chose this school to attend even when outside the area to be assigned this school. Like any school there still will be bullies, drugs and other obstacles, but they police and security daily. They also offer after school tutoring when students are falling behind in school work or having a hard time catching on.

Crossing guards do not even attempt to walk your kids safely across the road and a 15yr old girl was struck by a car. There is no dress code as stomachs, thongs, booty shorts, and side boobs seem to be the norm. Kids apparently make out all the time as well. Someone gave my child what she thought was candy and ended up passing out because it was drugs. She passed out in the office and no one could find her. There are some great teachers that genuinely do care and try to help the students. There really isn't any system of organization when it comes to the front office.

I attended this school all 4 years of high school and I have to say, I am one of many students who…read moreare not "college and career ready" like the school slogan states. I mainly put the blame on the admin team. For starters, they haven't got a clue of what they're supposed to be doing, and it shows in their faces. They are always worried about the wrong things. They are extremely inconsistent and sloppy; this showed specifically during our advisory classes when we were supposed to learn things about adulthood/college & career readiness. Most of the time, our teacher had not the slightest clue of what was supposed to be happening. Many other students who I've spoken to have stated the same. Not only that, they treat not just students, but other people as well (myself included) with the upmost disrespect. Security is even worse. I understand that school safety measures must be taken in order to sustain a safe learning environment. However, it is almost prison-like how they treat it. I personally could hardly ever go to the bathroom without being stopped by a security guard. Not to mention they treat the students with no respect whatsoever. Security has even stopped me from going back to class whether I was coming back from the bathroom or coming from the office. To add on, if students are forced to stay after hours, I've found that security kicks them outside; no matter the weather. It is quite obvious to see that that could very well be an endangerment to someone's life; especially if it's 100+ degrees outside. I would like to state however, that the teachers at this school are phenomenal. Out of all the teachers I had over the years, every single one of them inspired me to be a better learner. Their empowerment keeps me going through college even today. The admin team however, does not set these teachers up for success. Information sent throughout the school is from what I've experienced, vague and unclear. So, if you are new to the area and you're looking at schools for your student, do not send them here. Verrado High School should be the last option on your list of schools to send your child. I would even consider sending my child somewhere else. This school is a terrible place, and I don't see it changing anytime in the near future.

Even though this is the very first year the program is in session, the Pre-K team has been absolutely incredible. The teachers are everything a mom could hope for: caring, loving, and nurturing. They make every student feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. Their communication with parents has been wonderful, and I always feel informed. Even after just a short time, I can already see how much my child is thriving and I know they will be more than ready for kindergarten. I'm so grateful for this amazing program and highly recommend Legacy Traditional West Surprise to any family considering Pre-K!

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.
