While my child had some excellent teachers throughout the years, there were some glaring…read moreshortcomings. Firstly, they missed the fact that the child has dyslexia; instead citing general learning disabilities and were contemplating holding her back a grade. Fortunately, we had her tested privately and then pushed the school district to make accommodations. She was discovered to be twice exceptional: gifted I.Q. with dyslexia. But, the real impetus for this review was her sixth grade teacher. Here are examples of some of the things that were said (many repeatedly) in the classroom: "Don't talk to me. My alligators are out." "I am so done with all of you. Figure it out yourselves." "You were so bad yesterday that I almost called in sick today." "It's silly to believe in God." "No American should be allowed to own a gun." The teacher unleashed her scorn upon the classes in general, while seemingly targeting certain students for the worst of her wrath (generally boys). I could write a novel based on instances with this "teacher". But, the bottom line is that my child went from being someone who loved school to dreading every single day with this person.

My son loves CAC (he attends a different campus), but I need to write a review for this place, as…read morehe has special needs and I often travel to this location since it's the main campus. The issue I have with this location (and all its campuses) is that administration has terrible communication and accountability. I'm listed on my son's special release forms to be present if he requests it, and though I only go as needed and upon his request, the campus officials will tell me I can't be there (even though the forms clearly give me permission). I'm not there to be nosy or interfere. I'm simply there for the reason my son requested my presence and has given me and the school written consent. For accommodation requests, this has always been an issue where he'll schedule an appointment, go over the accommodations he needs, and receives an email a few days to a few weeks later, saying he needs to send in paperwork that has already been submitted. Not only that, but his teachers at his campus have said repeatedly they haven't received his accommodations, and emailing/calling the main location doesn't do much good because no one seems to communicate. I will say also that Jen in Accommodations is very sweet and thorough--I just wish I knew why her email wasn't shared with the rest of the department when it came to his paperwork because it was never submitted. When the social worker from the state came with him to help him with his accommodations and he filled out written consent forms for her as well, the staff at the Maricopa campus were rude and unhelpful to her, telling her they wouldn't speak to my son with her present. After repeatedly going in person, the staff told him he was set to go but never gave him an award letter, and wouldn't give him information upon request. There aren't a lot of options when it comes to classes, and because of low enrollment even for basic classes for core requirements, they end up cancelled. If you're seeking affordable classes, this is an okay option, but not one I'd personally recommend (and I say this as someone who attended a junior college in very rural, backwater East Texas with even fewer options). I will say that when I do bring him here, and he goes in to set up his appointments, the front desk staff go out of their way to help him, and he never has complaints from their assistance, even if they can't necessarily resolve the issues. Classes are often mixed up on his schedules or cancelled outright without notice, and he often has to come to this location just to receive answers, but he's happy. I write this as a parent of a special needs child entering adulthood, and I want to make other parents aware that this college has some severe communication issues, but does try to be helpful. It's a bit tough to navigate, but they do have locations in the smaller towns that may be beneficial to your children until they prepare to enter a 4 year university. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone unless you want to retake classes repeatedly and have permanent failures on your transcripts because staff can't do their jobs and refuse to coordinate or communicate. Go spend your money on a better school with quality staff.

He is being harassed and racially profiled on a daily basis this is a new environment for the both of us and I hurt so bad watching him hurt and feel so unwelcome because of his skin color and freedom of speech. He was suspended today for threatening the principal!!! I was in shock and asked what in the world did he possibly do or say, they replied "He asked Why am I being picked on everyday " what makes this a threat?! This is awful and cruel my son deserves his education just like every other child!

This is a great school from kindergarten to 5th grade, principle, teacher on assignment, the teachers, even the support staff and front desk. If there are issues, they work WITH the parent to address it and I am very grateful for this school and everyone in it. If parents want more of a say , please attend a PTO meeting. if you have questions take a moment to go in and talk to someone, I guarantee they will listen. Great job Palo Verde !!!

The teacher is known for getting away with bullying the kids. My daughter went to asked her for something for another teacher and she embarrassed my daughter and made her apologize to her class for what another teacher asked her to do. On top of that she told students in her class that my daughter might not make it to the 8th grade after she left and my daughter has not even had this teacher ever and doesn't know her. fyi my daughter is on honor roll. also told her boyfriend that was in her class to find another girlfriend. All for this one incident of my daughter asking her a question for a teacher. (If she has volleyball from Saturday school) I'm beyond livid and hearing all the other reports on her of making kids do things that make them uncomfortable for her comfort of embarrassing them. I like this school but then keeping teachers like this just shows what else can be slowly uncovering. Honestly taking a lot out of me to not approach the situation accordingly. I was always teaching my daughter no bullying and be kind but my least worry should be a teacher. Gonna take this further up to see if all the incident reports can be dealt with accordingly.

In September 2025, I transferred to Alpha Kilo Aviation, and within just two weeks I successfully earned my PPL thanks to Dale's professionalism, structure, and excellent preparation. In November, I completed my Instrument Rating with Chris in only 14 days. His instruction was organized, thorough, and focused on real-world flying, which made a huge difference in my confidence and skill level. On December 12, I earned my Commercial License with both Chris and Dale. Their teamwork, consistency, and commitment to student success truly set this school apart. The best way to describe Alpha Kilo Aviation is professional, efficient, and student-focused. The aircraft are well maintained and reliable, the instructors genuinely care about your progress, and the training environment is motivating and supportive. I highly recommend Alpha Kilo Aviation to anyone serious about flight training and advancing their aviation career.

The whole experience was amazing for me as a parent too. I didn't fly with him but I was able to watch him take off, fly around and land. Dale gave us so much advice and instruction on what our next steps should be. My son has wanted to be a pilot for years and Dale helped my son see that his future is attainable. My son left feeling empowered and confident. We're looking into enrolling in the flight program now. You won't be disappointed in Alpha Kilo Aviation. Best experience and great people!
