Quartz Hill is an amazing school! We have been enrolled here for three years and have always had excellent teachers. The principal is so caring about the students and knows almost all of them by name. Close Quote

This school is about money. If you do not give money you will be shunned and looked down upon. My son has a disability but has done very well and graduated kindergarten. This school says that he can not come back for no reason at all. Can we say discrimination. Close Quote

The principal lied to us (in writing). We later learned the truth of the matter from another school official. I am very disappointed! Close Quote

The teachers are unprofessionial.one started the whole class booing my son which made him cry. The principal is horriable. I filed a formal complaint on him. Worst school my kids hate it and the drop off and pick up is terriable. I'm taking my kids out and moving them to a differant school Close Quote
