I was there for 6 years, the school education is horrible. Leading Edge is behind public and…read morecharter schools in the Valley, though it says otherwise. I had an IEP form that was not accurate or understandable when reviewed by my new school. The Leading Edge staff made changes to the information without my parent or guardians permission and knowledge. I had been threatened by the vice principal that she would be calling the cops due to throwing an empty plastic water bottle at a student who was physically assaulting another kid. The school staff, withheld my transcripts when they learned I was going to another school. My parents contacted LEA MULTIPLE TIMES, even going into the school to get them before we received the transcripts. Leading Edge staff protect bullies due to their parents being on staff. These students cause problems constantly but are never addressed, creating a sense of disruption, anxiety, and fear among the students. I and other students have had things stolen from our bags multiple times, and when the staff was told that the police would be involved the item would mysteriously return the next day in our bag. For Spirit week, the principal and vice principal dressed up in onesies and pacifiers, riding tricycles and talking to students like babies. They also had scoops of ice cream in their hands which they had students, of several grades, lick off. The students were then encouraged to do the same to each other in front of the school. Some teachers and staff treated the students really well, but the majority of the staff bullied and neglected the students.

We have two children who attend this school, we have a 6th grader who has attended this school…read moresince kindergarten and now his sister who is a kindergartner is attending. It is very family oriented and you'll see families come together supporting the kids and teachers at any given event. Our kindergartner is autistic and she has fit in well and is flourishing there. The school provides a lot of resources and activities for the students. They have band, orchestra, student council, mathletes, a gifted and talented program, cool clubs for the kids like kickball club and card trading club and much more. Our kindergartener registered for soccer this past fall and basketball camp during Spring Break and has just had a blast. I love how I never feel awkward at events because there aren't any "clicks" amongst the parents and kids there. There is not a religious belief pushed on to the kids here either. The principal is always out walking around and engaging with students and parents every day and has made time to discuss anything necessary when we have needed help. If you are looking for a school that will encourage your children to be the best version of themselves and to learn to make good choices...this is it. We ultimately as parents just want our kids to be kind, caring human beings in this world and this is the school that will promote that.

Turns out my old phone number and email were actually in the system the whole time and this could have been avoided. Liz's response was I can't answer for the system, and can't give me answer for parent square either. If parents are complaining about the system meant to keep parents informed on their child's education then the school should absolutely be responsible for fixing it. Not only that, but as I was in there trying to get my parent square set up, members of the boy scouts or Girl Scouts or whoever walked into the office without their IDS and what did Liz say," We can bypass the IDs if you don't have them. SO YOU CAN BYPASS IDs. SO MUCH FOR THE SAFETY OF THE STUDENTS. I'm shocked by the incompetence of the staff but by the systems as well. Garbage school in a wealthy neighborhood with fake employees.

"Enter to Learn... Build Your Dreams"…read more Those are the words that greet you when you drive past the marquee and into the parking lot of this amazing school. The school lies in a beautiful desert setting with mountains all around. As soon as you enter the building, you begin to feel as if you're not in any ordinary school. The curriculum at Zaharis Elementary goes beyond that of most public schools. With an inquiry-based curriculum that incorporates character education, students at Zaharis don't just learn reading, writing, and math... they become readers, writers, and mathematicians. All of the staff members, teachers and support staff alike, are dedicated to providing each child with the very best education possible. Walking through the hallways, one can't help but feel "at home". There are couches scattered throughout the common areas where teachers and students alike can gather to read, work, and socialize. Murals and quotes on the walls provide inspiration around every corner. And within each classroom lies a community of learners, working together towards a common goal. Students in this school are challenged to think beyond traditional curriculum. They are encouraged to ask questions... and to work hard to find the answers. They are immersed in a "workshop" environment, where each individual works to his/her highest potential. What an inspiring, amazing place to learn... and to "build your dreams"!

No school is perfect, no teacher is perfect, but are they a school that will focus on promoting teachers that can teach? Yes. I believe so. We stayed just so our second grader could be in Mrs. Krugers class. She's an angel and retiring this year. It doesn't mean they don't love wonderful teachers but it does mean they won't keep teachers that are terrible. I would recommend. We are moving cities at the end of this school year and won't be able to continue but I would recommend if you live close.

I encourage you to take a tour and see if you can feel the difference. BTW you'll even be impressed with their pickup system for students after school - very quick and no issues with backing out onto a street in a long line.
