This school is still struggling like all other Arizona schools but the staff really do try…read more School's performance letter grade was a "B" for last year. And its still a fairly new campus. They are rising up. I don't hear many good things on the principal & to tell you the truth she might want to change careers. Maybe a district super attendant position with no parent/student or human contact? She is above calling back or emailing a concerned parent. BUT the assistant principal, Ms. Chapman, does make up for the principals lacking. She is prompt & courteous. And I thought for a long time she was the principal as she is so involved. She truly loves her job. Many teachers are younger and thus less experienced but they are bright & excited to teach. Many AZ schools are doing this I hear to to pay less for their faculty. Is it true? Not sure. Anyways, one thing this school does & I LOvE them for it is play the national anthem every morning! Nothing like enjoying my days off & being filled with patriotic pride from my kids school down the street. The population is primarily Hispanic. Though many parents don't speak English they are very involved. All school concerts are always a hit. Family orientated for sure. The front office girls deserve an award. All indoor campus is also nice. Again, those front office rock stars, such as Grace, are the gatekeepers at the front of the school & protect our babies as they monitor who enters the building. Hence, you better sign in & get visitor badges before they buzz you in. Thank you Tres Rios! Go Pumas!

They were not understanding in the slightest and were extremely difficult to communicate with. The front office lady the blonde was was extremely rude and dismissive as if my 6 year old wasn't bitten and hit in the stomach. Will be going to the Board to talk about this because this is unacceptable and I won't let it be dismissed. If I could give zero stars, I would.

The office staff an most of the school faculty are Mexican - American and have BBL'S. They cannot not even get my child's name or the spelling correct. She keeps telling them it's wrong and they keep telling her no it's correct. Now I'm here to say it's wrong! If they can't get her name correct how they suppose to teach her how to spell it? She is in the 1st grade. It's obvious they do not listen to the kids or pay attention because these minors mistakes shld not keep happening.

As a parent, I've been extremely disappointed with Rancho Santa Fe Elementary. There seems to be…read morevery little focus on academics, disciplinary measures, and overall student safety. Leadership/staff often presents themselves in a way that doesn't reflect professionalism or seriousness--wearing oversized clown glasses, tutus and colorful wigs. I've had serious incidents involving my 5th grade daughter where I raised concerns beforehand about potential bullying, safety concerns, and bathroom fights. Despite reaching out ahead of time the school failed to prevent these incidents and failed to notify me promptly. Another incident involving my 2nd grade daughter was similarly mishandled, with the school downplaying the severity and failing to report what truly happened when it happened. The lack of structure and the school's focus on tutus, wigs, pep rallies, spirit week and snowcones overcomes their focus on education, professionalism and safety. I expected a safe, academically driven environment for my daughters, and instead I've been met with disappointment, a lack of accountability and below grade level performance.

I was employed by Fowler School District, during the 2005-2006 school year, as an Instructional…read moreAssistant. I put my all into my position, I took pride in helping my students reach their academic goals, meeting and many times exceeding their own expectations. The disconcerting and unbelievable issue that I have with Fowler School District, is that they only paid me half of my monthly salary. My monthly salary should have been slightly over $1200 a month, and I was bringing home slightly over $600 a month. I repeatedly contacted payroll and HR, to dispute the issue, and was either yelled at, transferred to another unknown employee, or completely ignored. I couldn't afford to quit at the time, and my heart would not let me quit on my students. So I struggled for months. Juggling payday loans, coming home to an empty refrigerator, being greeted by eviction notices at my front door. Not knowing what tomorrow would bring, I still got up, went to work, worked hard for my students, and held on until the end of that school year. Penny, from payroll assured me that I would receive a lump sum at the end of the school year, for all funds that I was shorted of, which was more than $3500. I never received my money. I was, however, evicted from my apartment, and left with a significant amount of debt that I accrued while trying to survive on just half of my salary. Fowler School District, gave me the run around until the statute of limitations ran out, so that they wouldn't legally have to pay me my salary. If you or anyone you know is seeking employment with Fowler School District, you should take my review to heart, and ask yourself, if this is an issue you would like to have to deal with personally.

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.

This school should concentrate on getting organized..especially the principle and secretaries..also maybe a dress code should be in place for staff ...
