The school is very engaging with different type of STEM programs that really help out with the child’s development at an earlier age. I would really appreciate if the school can find a way to add 7th & 8th grade and increase their portfolio of becoming a middle school as well and not just an elementary school.

I am really disappointed to hear that the maintenance men were let go. I think they are crucial to the school functioning in the most efficient, clean and productive manner. They were both beloved by the students and it was very upsetting to see them get let go. Hopefully the campus stays maintained because if that starts to slip, I’ve had enough and will be pulling my children out. My favorite part of PR was the feeling that the school was a small, family owned operation, and the staff had been there for many years. One of the maintenance men felt almost like a security guard, and it was assuring to know that he was there all day. Since their salaries will be reduced from your annual budget maybe we can afford an actual security guard now?

Everyone from the principal to all of the teachers are incredibly kind and loving teachers. They teach children to think on their own, while mastering their studies. They teach them the importance of independence and completing tasks while challenging them to grow and apply themselves with dignity and respect. Our son has changed immensely since stepping foot on this campus and receiving guidance from his fifth grade teacher. He is eager to learn and be a part of the education process. prior to coming to Phoenix Ranch. He was more reserved and would hide in his classes. He is now more curious in various subjects and looking things up related to science, mathematics, history and art!

Honestly, the only thing that I can think of is not knowing who our director of preschool is. When we first started we would see the director everywhere, she knew all the kids names and I truly felt her passion. I see Mrs Aguilar all the time in her office, never our director. It could be me, and the times I go. I just feel the difference as a parent

Small class size, attention given to developing individual learning styles/needs, safety & security (though more can be done on this front)
