The school absolutely doesn’t care about kids who have some difficulties. My son started preschool and was one of the youngest in his class and didn’t go to day care before. They didn’t do a single thing to help him. We got complaints like he is not able to put his bag properly. They even let me and my wife sit in the class for the whole duration of class so that we can work on these things. We took him out and sent him to public school and he is doing much better. The school only cares about their rating. I wouldn’t send my kids to this school and would advice other parents to think twice Close Quote

Math and reading are remedial. Your child will end fourth free doing a"book in a bag" report instead of the five paragraph book reports completed in the local public school 4th grade. The way the math classes are structured will leave children feeling they are unworthy of higher level math. Ask questions, do your research. Ask questions esp. About changes in math and reading curriculum over the past 5 years and why the school no longer receives the John Irwin award. Close Quote

Teachers and Administration are extremely condescending and rude! Time to say bye-bye to Flagstaff!! They don't let children be children....they want to control them and medicate them. They are constantly sending home "Codes of Contact" for ridiculous things.....sooooo much paper wasted there on a daily basis! Teachers and Administration cannot handle anything other than sitting on their butts. They want to complain to the parents and expect the parents to handle what they should be handling in the classroom. Adios Flagstaff! Close Quote

Virtually nonexistent anti-bullying policy, and special ed. department.
Many of the administrators, teachers & "specialists" were very condescending and disrespectful to our daughter.
I wish we would've recognized what was going on there sooner, but we put our child through four awful years at this place before finally acknowledging it was a colossal failure for our family. Close Quote
