My two sons are currently in 5th grade at Kyrene de las Lomas Elementary School and have…read moreexperienced ongoing bullying for the past two years. A few months ago, one of my sons was physically assaulted when another student choked him. The incident was dismissed by the school as a minor issue, despite the seriousness of the act. More recently, my two sons and one of their friends were verbally threatened by three other students. I immediately reported this to the principal, office staff, and district administration. Although the threatened fight never occurred, the response from the school has been inconsistent and inadequate. The principal initially stated that students would rotate days for playing soccer during recess but later reduced my sons' access to only two days per week, without explanation. After I raised concerns about the choking incident and the threats, I believe the principal began retaliating against my children. During a school bingo event, my son and his friend each had valid bingos that were confirmed by surrounding students, yet the principal publicly denied them multiple times. The school promotes itself as a "no violence" campus, but ongoing issues are not being properly acknowledged or addressed. I contacted the Board of Education and requested that the vice principal handle all future matters involving my children due to concerns of targeting and retaliation.

Now, as a senior, I have had more absences than ever. This school has become one of the most miserable places ever. Teacher's are discouraged to even teach because of how horrible administration is to them. The principal doesn't care about any other sports or students besides the football and baseball players. As well as any other organization besides football and baseball, they get no funding, encouragement or recognition for any type of achievement. The students are run down and tired of the sexism, homophobia and misogyny that contaminates this school from administrations personal views.

They've sat there and watched my daughter struggle for 3 years, turning a blind eye and sending her off to the next grade without any suggestions or plan for success, even when she was in the bottom 5% and grade levels behind. If you have any choice between this school and ANY other school, I would highly suggest you look elsewhere. You've been warned!

We highly value education. My wife has a PhD and I am an attorney. We spent a significant amount of…read moretime deciding on the school to send our children, now 8 (second grade) and 10 years old (fifth grade). Horizon Honors is the perfect fit. What attracted us two key features: (1) Horizon's student-to-teach ratio, and (2) the fact that students are assessed and taught at their level. An advanced Kindergartener can be in first or second grade math or reading, etc. Similarly, students needing more help are engaged and taught at the right level of challenge. Kindergarten classrooms are 25-30 students with a teacher and adult assistant teacher yielding teacher-to-student ratios of 13-15. In grades 1-6, students are in mixed-aged classrooms (again, taking into account the challenge needed for each student), with a class size of 55-60 led by 3 adults-two teachers and an adult assistant teacher, yielding a ratio of 18-20. These numbers are great. Beyond the classroom, we appreciate the lunch options. Food is catered from places like Pei Wei, Chick-fil-A, Panda Express, Boston Market and Streets of NY Pizza, making it much better than cafeteria-level food. While the price can be more than a cafeteria, the providers donate a share of proceeds back to the school, which is a win-win. We have also found that involvement opportunities are larger and more diverse than other schools - numerous sports, clubs, and activities are available to K-6 students. Our kids have been involved in after school clubs including Melody Makers, Code Bots, Rising Stars, Save the Earth, Showbiz, Lego Club, Art Club, and our fifth grader was selected to one of the middle school sports teams that allows 5th graders to tryout.

I was actually told " we don't like to do anything until 3rd grade." WTH. They also wrote a behavior plan after a meeting held without me that said, " No speech help will be given at this time, hopefully a change in behavior will help with articulation and anunciation." Moral of the story, if you might bring down the test scores don't bother with this school. By the way my daughter now has speech therapy, a dyslexia diagnosis and is doing great at a Mesa public school.

They have up to date curriculums, free breakfast and lunch for every student, good sports available for all grade levels, after school clubs for older kids, and a fair choice of extra curricular activities, like: dance, music, pe, karate, ect. I love that the campus is fenced in. Teachers are nice and happy. Really great for the kids and push reading. They have excelled my kids even though they are at a more excelled level then their peers. They don't get lost in the class but encouraged with harder materials. The downfalls: bus transportation is not organized. Don't show up at stops on time. Sometimes an hour late. The drivers don't control the kids very well either. The campus looks run down. Playgrounds are small and no field. The cafeteria is outdoors. Very hot during the summer and very cold during the winter. The outdoor portion only works for two months out of the school year. The office does not answer their phones and when voicemails are left they do not return your calls. Hard to get a hold of on the phone. In person is fine.
