There was no sense of responsibility and I could not handle it (it wasn't the first time)and just pulled her out of the school as I figured management would do nothing. I had issues prior to that with updates from the teacher and asked for a classroom change but was denied. Some teachers are extremely good and really cares and unfortunately we were not blessed with one. Kids in other classes gets lots of picture updates but I did. We did not love our teacher. They won't share a curriculum. You just pay the fees and assume your kid is learning a ton. They would simply tell we have 13 kids to care and they were busy. My kid hardly got 2 photos a month and the other teacher sends 25 photos a week for a child who comes half a day. So it is really the teacher! BIG NO

The therapists, teachers, and instructional assistants are deeply committed to supporting children with disabilities, and it is clear that my boys are genuinely cared for and valued each day they are at LIFE. The ABA program is exceptional and has far exceeded our experiences with previous programs. Many of LIFE's leaders are Board Certified Behavior Analysts, and a significant number of staff members are Registered Behavior Technicians, which speaks to the quality, expertise, and integrity of the program. I wholeheartedly recommend LIFE to any family seeking a supportive, professional, and compassionate environment for children with intellectual disabilities.

He is even interacting with his peers and learning how to take turns and play. When I seen and heard this I wanted to cry. He smiles every day while walking to class, and tells me "go play" on his aac device, which he refused to use for me, until he started going here. I have yet to get a call saying I need to come get him because he wet through his clothes, I get to see pictures of all the fun activities they do, and his teacher let's me know if she finds new things he likes so I can get them for home. I have heard so many people say they have been on the waiting list for years, and I am just so happy that he got in within 9 months. It was definitely worth the wait, and also very worth the drive, we come from Florence.

Everything is very political now. Parents aren't allowed on campus unless they are part of the P3 club. But a lot of parents work and don't have time to dedicate to the club. Also, a lot of parents would take off work to be there to volunteer and hang out with their kids. But instead, it's a mean girls club running the whole school now. Someone who is barely started the school this school year is the president of the club. She has no idea what she is doing, she is badmouthing a lot of the other parents, doesn't know most of the students. I don't think Yvonne understands that so many parents are not being a part of the club because of this single woman. Yvonne is also one of the rudest women I've ever come across. Someone who should not be working with special needs children. And has a consistent bad attitude with parents. Or any child. A lot of the parents are in the works of speaking to other campuses about transferring. And we are all giving notes about other appropriate schools where the children and all their parents come first. The three stars that I left, not for the higher-ups not for the P3 club, it's for the teachers! The teaching staff is amazing and kind and caring and goes above and beyond. And for Mr Dilly! he always treats Parents with respect he is kind and caring, always roaming the school, checking on the kids and the staff. In my opinion and an opinion that a lot of others have is he should be the main one running things. So thank you Mr Dilly and the entire teaching staff! If it wasn't for you guys, a lot of us would have left a while ago. It's you guys that keep our kids happy at school, and keep them wanting to come back! They are having so much fun, also while improving educationally every day! THANK YOU!

It often seems like we are struggling against the system to get the basic rights our children deserve, and provide them the support they need to thrive and reach their potential. When my husband and I were hitting a brick wall with our son's school in an effort to garner the support he needed, we reached out to Parent Support Arizona and were immediately contacted by David (the founder of the company!), and are so grateful for all the work he put into assisting us. He not only returned our call personally and listened to our situation with the school, but he scrambled to adjust his advocates' schedules to ensure we would have support during a quickly approaching meeting on short notice. He offered solid advice, based on a wealth of knowledge in special education services and regulations, and had a network of professionals who provided continued legal support when it came to filing due process. David even contacted us while he was out of the office for vacation to ensure we had the supports we needed. Parent Support Arizona is a strong ally in the fight for children's rights within the schools, and we are beyond appreciative for the effort they put into helping us. We would wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone else trying to fight for their child's education, and appreciate all of the assistance they were able to provide. Their compassion, character and ethical judgement are a breath of fresh air in a society bent on self-promotion for profitable gain. I am wholly impressed with their breadth of knowledge and wonderful advice, as well as the network of professionals they've created. They approached our case with humanity and exceptional service in the face of our struggles against the school. It is people like them who give me hope for the future, we just need more of them! They are a credit to our community and the profession of advocacy.

I…read morespent my Jr High years at Athlos thinking I wouldn't like it because of the uniforms and well since it was a Charter school. I had gone to public school for all of my life before then and all of my friends were going to Santan and Bogle, but my mother wanted me to have the experience of going to a charter school. I was upset with her at first but later realized, it was the absolutely best thing shed ever done for me. Athlos isn't just a school you go to to learn. It's a school where everyone excepts you for who you are. The teachers treat you like friends and they actually CARE. In my past years in public schools I never experienced such an awesome bond with my teachers. After two weeks in Athlos I felt right at home and by the time I was in 8th grade I was dreading the last few months because I didn't want a new beginning in highschool. I believe that the amount of homework Athlos gave per student was fair. All they were trying to do was prepare us for high school.... Some kids say Athlos was a terrible school but when I would ask them why they thought that, they had no answers. Truth is, Athlos is AMAZING. You are respected by all teachers, kids and all staff. Education was great, they prepared me for high school and I truly appreciate that... Being a former student from Athlos was, as I said, an amazing journey. After two years with amazing kids, I was able to be apart of the 2013-2014 Athlos 8th grade family. To this day and on I know I can rely on them for everything. I am proud to call myself a Titan and always will be. I recommend this school to all who are looking for a new beginning and a memorable ending.:)

We checked out several schools in the area and decided to send our son to Legacy based off of the ratings and conversation that we had with the legacy office staff. One thing that we liked was the advertised focus on academics and the students wearing uniforms. Unfortunately the focus on academics is severely lacking! The ongoing communication between the teachers and parents is nonexistent, unless the parents contact the teachers. The amount of emails that you receive daily pertaining to PTO, Sports ,and fundraising is overly abundant. I wish one of those emails would have been about my child failing a class before we found out on the progress report. Lastly there is the dreaded drop off and pick up "Drive Lines!"... This drive line is INSANE!! There was definitely a design flaw when planning out the parking lot and vehicle pathways. Legacy doesn't offer school bus service so you are subjected to this scrimmage amongst other parents to enter the 20min drive line. Overall this school just didn't live up to "As Advertised."

I am being candid because I believe people must speak up when school leaders commit unethical…read morepractices, and worse, when those in executive oversight positions do nothing to hold the principal and assistant headmaster accountable when they commit egregious acts against a student. Our decision to leave Lincoln Prep by the close of the 2024-25 school term was solidified because one of the assistant headmasters pulled students out of class and asked them about our 12 yo daughter's dating status and sexual orientation. He did this as a part of his "investigation" of our year-long harassment grievance. Our daughter was harassed by other students with no consequences to the bullies. We took this immediately to the executive director of upper schools, and he told me that the asst. headmaster should have asked open-ended questions, but that no further action was required. As you might imagine, his response was completely unethical and unacceptable. He also denied my request to have said asst headmaster present at our meeting. This was after several months of trying to work with the principal and asst headmaster on our harassment grievance per the student-parent handbook. Under the principal's "leadership" and the executive director of upper school's oversight, our family has been disrespected and our daugther's safety and care was not a priority. School leaders chose to protect the bullies and their families and dismiss our harassment grievances. We have now filed our grievance with the executive board of directors. GH Lincoln Prep leadership is unethical. We've removed our 3 children from their school system.
