Extremely rude staff. School does absolutely NOTHING about ANYTHING. Wish i could disclose the extremely weird / invasive actions some teachers have made but ill be graceful.(School did NOTHING about them. Not surprised). They are always asking taxpayers for more bonds but why isn't their A/C ever working in the summer? Why is there no soap in the bathroom? Why are the rooms so dirty? All of these problems came about AFTER the new principle arrived, just saying. This school only takes action against anything if theres major parent pushback. Absolutely horrible school. (The bus route system is always a hot mess but that seems to be a CUSD problem) Would not be surprised if there major MISUSE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS. read more

The food here smelt terrible! I cannot comment on the taste because I was declined service and escorted off the premises before I even got a chance to order. Very strange! I was nothing but polite and informed them that I was new to the area and just wanted to try some different eating options. The cafeteria itself was filled with teenagers which I found strange. I've never been to a restaurant that had no adults. Prices looked cheap. And they sold chocolate milk in cartons which reminded me of my school days. On the plus side there was ample parking! read more

We just toured this school with our family and it was beautiful. The principal was also very friendly. You can definitely tell the school is new and taken well care of and is very safe. School gave me a snotty vibe a bit. Definitely not the one we will be picking but looks like a decent option for the area. read more

worst school program you can choose, all the teachers lowkey suck so bad, and the food tastes like radioactive garbage

i play at santan, and went against their volleyball team. both teams (8th and 7th), were absolutely disrespectful towards each athlete in OUR own gym. they started saying "they need water," during timeouts. we lost our game due to being so overwhelmed with what was going on, and they started shoving it in our face. they were laughing at me because i was upset at the loss, since we were 4-0. i was line reffing the 8th grade game and i called the ball in (it barely even touched the line but still counted), they started yelling at me (including the parents), saying "f*ck you" and "what the f*ck." i felt so embarrassed about it, letting them yell at me. im not saying they dont have good volleyball, because they are very good, but they definitely need improvement on their attitudes. read more

My son started 7th grade when the school opened and is now a freshman. It has not been open 4 years. The teachers have been great and Chandler is a good school district. He has also participated in some sports programs (cross country/soccer) and had fun. I have been to a few football games in my lifetime and would not judge the school by seeing some dress up for the HOMECOMING GAME. read more

The assistant basketball coach Commander King punched me in the stomach when I was 16 years old and playing for him at Coconino Highschool. He Said" don't you ever puff your chest out at me again" I should have called the police but I did not want to get kicked off the varsity basketball team. Later In practice he made fun of my socks because they were mix high. He said "where did you get the socks from your father?" He said to make all the black kids laugh. He didn't like my dad because he is white and a better basketball coach. I replied "no I got them from your mother". He Quickly yelled at me and made everyone run many killers up and down the court. I asked the assistant coach why king got so mad at me because I thought he was joking around. It turns out he hated my dad and ended up kicking me off the team because of a rumor I smoked weed mind you he knew every black kid smoked weed. Commander king belongs in jail not being an assistant basketball coach. Sincerely Jimmy Fabritz. PS I would sue King now that I have money and a lawyer yet it's passed the statute of limitations. Even for a authority figure in a high school physically, and emotionally abusing a student and one of his basketball players.. read more

The parents of the girls tennis team need to learn some manners. Grown adults Bullying 14 year old girls on opposing teams is classless. These kids aren't going to Wimbledon. Sit down, cheer for your player & try not to laugh & cheer when someone is hit by a ball...and definitely don't yell "Hit her again!" or bully a child into giving your kid a point she didn't earn. What's wrong with you? Are these parents representative of the school population? read more

So why the fuck my sister keep coming home with bruises from dance. Lay some mf mats down. You ain't paying this medical bills like I am.

Came for a football game and this is seriously the only school I've ever attended a game at that had VIP parking, which obviously was not for the out of town fans. There was no direction for us on how to get to the visitors side so we walk on the track to the other side just to turn around and find the gate we should have taken, a sign would have been nice!! Because the school is so new the bathroom was clean. But seriously, who wears high heels to a football game?!?! read more

My son made a pretty good meal. The noodles were a little done and he put a little to much sauce in. The chicken was cooked perfectly not to dry but just right. Overall the meal was great. read more

GREAT School but the decision to change parent drop off and pick up this year was the biggest mistake I have ever seen! My daughter has been coming here for 4yrs now and have never had an issue dropping off or picking up until this yr. I have to wait 20-30 min to drop off or pick up. I have other children that go to other schools to pick up at and Im late every time. My daughter is late to school every morning even tho we leave to accommodate. Ridiculous!!!! read more

i wanted to go to Casteel so badly, the politics in volleyball are out of this world. when i didn't make the 7th and 8th grade team, the coach told me at the end of 8th grade year that, "she can't tell me over who, but i should've made the 8th grade team." i'm now a sophomore at Casteel who was in their JV volleyball team. in my 8th grade year i was sexually harassed inside of school by students and outside of school by students on social media. the administration did as much as they could do about the sexual harassment and for that i'm grateful, however this was 2 years ago, and it still goes on with other girls at my school. this school has so many cliques. and teachers here have no idea what they're doing half the time. my freshman year my ELA teacher literally taught us nothing. i slept through the whole class period every single day. she also yelled at me because some boys were throwing stuff at me and i told them to stop and was obviously aggravated. my 8th grade year my math teacher told another student in front of me that my math hour was "the spawn of satan." this teacher never liked me and once i walked into the class and he didn't give me any reasoning just handed me work and sent me to ISS. thank god i was able to spend the last 3 days of school with admin instead of this teacher. this year, on a game day, i went to the counselor w another person and it was during our health break so we didn't say anything to the teacher (i understand we should have) so when we got back we had a pass from the counselor confirming that we were actually there and i have that to the teacher. while i was at lunch a male security guard told me to come to the front office with him and sent me to dress code but told me i was with him cause i was a "missing student" i was mad and i asked the woman at dress code why i was there and she said she had no idea, but i told her i was there because he told me i was a missing student even though i had already shown my teacher my pass from the counselor, and she said that when she asked the male security guard if i was there for dress code he looked me up and down and she said he gave her a look indicating that i needed to be dress coded. i was wearing jeans with a crop top that you could barely see my stomach with. another dress code experience is when i was in 7th grade, i had just dislocated my knee and was in a huge knee stabilizer that covered my whole left leg and it was summer, it was very uncomfortable to wear longer pants with that huge knee stabilizer and crutches in summer so i wore shorts, i got dress coded, i had to carry my two bags by myself while being on crutches, the security guard didn't help me at all and after i was dress coded made me walk back to class on the other side of the building with my crutches and two bags (one for school, and one for volleyball). after all of the sexual harassment, bullying from students and teachers, dress codes, and politics, my parents were going to switch me out of Casteel and i BEGGED them not to. now that it's too late for me to switch, i regret it so much. i wish i would've let them switch me. to this day as a sophomore, i have no friends at Casteel, everyone here is so rude and disrespectful, i have anxiety attacks on the daily at that school. with COVID they completely overload you with homework and stress you out so much, i switched out of honors chem and was going to switch out of honors ELA but i'm now doing online school at COA because i can't emotionally handle going to Casteel anymore. i probably will not be back next year. overall, the admin did well in helping me overcome the sexual harassment but other than that, i would not recommend sending your kids here. read more
