My children are not only receiving a quality education, but they are active and involved in a strong Christian environment. The school has some fantastic teachers and our administrator's first priority has been the needs of the children. Both of my children have used the onsite daycare for several years, as well as the Summer Kids camp. My boys have loved the field trips, the activities and the swimming in the summers. Gethsemane also offers extra-curricular programs such as Band, Choir, Drama and Sports. We love the variety of activities that they are able to participate in without ever having to leave campus.

From the owner: Gethsemane Lutheran School takes your child's education personally. We are a small East Valley…read moreChristian school with a BIG focus on academic excellence, a commitment to serve the community and a center around God. Gethsemane puts the "it takes a village to raise a child" model into practice. From early on, children and their families get to know all of the staff at the school offering a true community feeling. Small class sizes give teachers and other faculty members the opportunity to understand and meet your child's individual needs. Learning at Gethsemane doesn't just happen in the classroom or in a text book. Our teachers use outside the book activities, acts of service, exercises and technology to engage growing young minds. Throughout their educational experience at GLS those young minds and souls are nourished with the word of the Lord. Children attend Chapel weekly and all grade levels participate in Christian Studies.

The homework is substantial, the tests and quizzes are challenging, and the teachers expect a lot from the kids. It's not easy to get into this school (lottery and waiting lists) but it's every bit worth the effort. My kids will both graduate from here probably more capable than I was when I graduated college. The teachers are available virtually ANY time for tutoring, and the staff and parents group are both above excellent. Glad I found this school, and you will be too.

What an amazing elementary school. They have started a dual-language program that, from…read morekindergarten, starts teaching kids Spanish for half of the day. I'm so happy! Also, my son's teachers (two because one teaches in English and the other in Spanish), principal, and all of the school staff seem so friendly. I love how they have a 'greeter' at the school gate to give kids their first friendly welcome or high-five of the day. That may seem like a trivial detail but that moment of positive, personalized attention is oh, so important, imo. The outside staff at the beginning and end of school are especially upbeat, too. Keep up the great work! We parents appreciate it. See ya there!

Shower Review - Marcos de Niza (Arizona) - Male Locker Room…read more * Layout & Facilities: Large locker room with 897 lockers and 48 shower heads. Plenty of capacity, but entry into the shower area requires a big step, which could be tricky for some. * Water Controls: Two-valve system: * Bottom valve = hot * Top valve = cold Temperature balance is inconsistent -- water can suddenly spike hot or cold before leveling out. Score: 3/10 for temperature control. * Water Quality: Water feels sharp -- high pressure or mineral-heavy. Not the most comfortable but tolerable. Score: 7/10. * Lighting & Design: Dim lighting, which might make visibility low in the early morning or late evening. The floor has diagonal grooves in the concrete, which help with water drainage -- a smart feature for safety and cleanliness. * Overall Rating: 6/10 Functional with solid capacity and thoughtful drainage design, but brought down by temperature inconsistency, harsh water feel, and poor lighting.

Not knowing anything about preschool disabilities I enrolled my son after receiving an IEP from…read morechild find for speech delay. Getz review- Highs: The teachers love the kids. It was completely free. A very needed service for preschoolers with disabilities!!! Lows: you're not allowed to observe. There was no documentation on the kids days. His IEP was never formally gone through with me. Less then 24 hrs notice for things like, bring a pink treat day or send in donations for making gingerbread houses. His speech therapist mishandled his IEP several times. On the day we withdrew him I brought in thank you cards for the teachers and was told his speech therapist no longer works there. No one thought to tell me. Crazy mismanaged school. But good heart. If you have a preschool kiddo getting an IEP know that you also have an option to get funding straight from the state via ESA's. You can use that on therapies for them. I hate hate hate redirecting funds from public school but I have to do what's best for my 4 year old who wasn't getting the care he was entitled to.

ALL of the staff take the time to learn all of the kids that attend the school. The school has sooo many different fun days like pink day Green Day blue day it's just amazing how much they put toward education; and making it fun! My kid always comes home happy and saying he had fun! If your child is having a not so well day they still take the time to give your child that extra time to feel better or behave. The school is very secure and safe you need a passcode to enter the front gates during school hours! During the morning and dismissals there are numerous staff members standing outside so all eyes are on your children. There's been times where I was standing outside the gate and my kid ran out the gate to hug me and as soon as he got to the gate exit they grabbed him so fast then realized I was standing there BUT I AM SO GRATEFUL to know that they are watching the kids every move and they are so quick! YOU ACTUALLY SEE WHAT YOU ARE PAYING FOR MONTHLY! We went to numerous schools visiting but when we got here I KNEW THIS WAS IT!! I'm soo sad they only do pre school because I would love my kid to go here forever :)!

We have 3 Broadmor students. I really just can't imagine having our kids in any other school…read more Our oldest child is in PACE and the academic standards for the entire school are not too far behind. We have loved nearly all of the teachers that have had the honor of teaching our children. For the ones we didn't quite love as much, well, you win some, you lose some. Some people just don't get along with each other. I can not say anything bad about their skills as teachers because my children are all coming along fine. Their personalities just weren't for us as I'm sure our personalities weren't for them. The Learning Patch is awesome and I truly wish I had more time to volunteer and be a more active part of the PTA. The garden is completely volunteer run, so if you have some extra time on a scheduled workday, please stop by. If you have things to donate: plants, seeds, gardening tools, etc... those things are all happily accepted as well. The PTA: without question or argument, this school would not be what it is without the immense amount of parent involvement. I have heard several people make mention of the the PTA being "cliquish" but I have not personally experienced that type of behavior. I admittedly do not participate as often as I would like to but any time that I have stopped in, I have felt welcomed. I can not recommend this school enough. It has an amazing community.

I decided to keep my son enrolled after a teacher friend said he should be fine. That was a mistake. A student who bullied my son for three years threatened my son's life and Amy decided it was appropriate to offer my son one solution - mediation. This was after I informed her of the bullying for three year, which she magically "forgot." She thought it was appropriate that after someone threatens to kill my son to try to teach him "it's okay, let's work it out." When I brought up issues, she'd tell me "I didn't bring them up right after they happened so she won't do anything" in front of her boss, who was kind enough to agree that parents can bring up issues when they feel it's appropriate. If you do enroll your child here, Amy forgets everything, so I strongly recommend you keep an email record as proof. On top of that, when I brought my minority husband in to discuss issues, Amy gave him the nastiest looks which we both witnessed but kept quiet about. When bringing up these issues to the district, they didn't care. This experience was so bad for my family we're now leaving the public education realm and will be going to a charter school.

Is it a solid 5 I would say, so here's why: 1.Mandatory parent participation and volunteer hours(forces you to be more involved in the school) 2. A+ rated ( better than not being rated right?) 3. Activities at school during the school year like a Fun Run to raise money, Water day where there is outside stations and parent volunteers, Trunk or treat hosted by the staff and parents with a DJ and food Trucks, In Class plays where parents could come watch and record (pre-covid) 4. Teachers like Mrs.Stevenson and Mrs.Lombardi kind hearted caring and eager to teach. Are there some things I would change yes, any school has things that need to be improved but overall this is a great school if public school is the route you take
