This school is a great school, by Arizona standards. I don't always agree with their level of communication to the Parents, but I know they take Academics (and discipline) VERY seriously. I just wish Every Friday was a Casual Friday, or two Dress-down Fridays each month for Morale. I am glad my child studies here, but am afraid that the Spalding language learning might hinder her in middle & high school, if we can't stay the full boat till 8th Grade! Close Quote
