*student review with adult help* Brinton is a great elementary school for kids. The principal is…read morereally nice and she does a lot of fun activities for the kids, water day was a big hit! Kona Ice trucks come sometimes for fundraisers and its nice to have them at school. The PE teachers are so fun, they organize many great events like turkey trot, and jingle jog, and they even do an after-school sports program. The teachers are very caring and so hard working. You should send your kids to Brinton!

So after being forced to go in and show my ID to prove I'm my sons parent just to get into parent…read moresquare, parent square doesn't even work! Turns out my old phone number and email were actually in the system the whole time and this could have been avoided. Liz's response was I can't answer for the system, and can't give me answer for parent square either. If parents are complaining about the system meant to keep parents informed on their child's education then the school should absolutely be responsible for fixing it. Not only that, but as I was in there trying to get my parent square set up, members of the boy scouts or Girl Scouts or whoever walked into the office without their IDS and what did Liz say," We can bypass the IDs if you don't have them. SO YOU CAN BYPASS IDs. SO MUCH FOR THE SAFETY OF THE STUDENTS. I'm shocked by the incompetence of the staff but by the systems as well. Garbage school in a wealthy neighborhood with fake employees.

"Enter to Learn... Build Your Dreams"…read more Those are the words that greet you when you drive past the marquee and into the parking lot of this amazing school. The school lies in a beautiful desert setting with mountains all around. As soon as you enter the building, you begin to feel as if you're not in any ordinary school. The curriculum at Zaharis Elementary goes beyond that of most public schools. With an inquiry-based curriculum that incorporates character education, students at Zaharis don't just learn reading, writing, and math... they become readers, writers, and mathematicians. All of the staff members, teachers and support staff alike, are dedicated to providing each child with the very best education possible. Walking through the hallways, one can't help but feel "at home". There are couches scattered throughout the common areas where teachers and students alike can gather to read, work, and socialize. Murals and quotes on the walls provide inspiration around every corner. And within each classroom lies a community of learners, working together towards a common goal. Students in this school are challenged to think beyond traditional curriculum. They are encouraged to ask questions... and to work hard to find the answers. They are immersed in a "workshop" environment, where each individual works to his/her highest potential. What an inspiring, amazing place to learn... and to "build your dreams"!

Other elementary schools in mesa are fun, colorful and kid involvement with in the school projects (pond, custom painted rocks/walls, teacher achievements, etc) also there's no holiday runs like other schools.

A lot of the teachers here have been with Canyon Rim since I went there and it opened in 2003, I really think that speaks volumes!! The principal, Mr Lopat, is fabulous. He's at the drop off and pickup car line everyday and loves getting to know the kids and parents. Canyon rim offers a traditional vs conventional classroom options so kids can learn the best way for them. I love this school and would recommend it any day!

This school refuses to accept kids who have mental health issues impacting their attendance. This school does not go through the proper policies to inves bullying.

The teachers break HIPPA violations and are not trained in how to handle a student who is special needs they are a very passive aggressive organization.

This school seems like a great option at first they seem welcoming and friendly but ultimately if…read moreyou raise any concern they will say one thing to your face but completely do nothing and cover their tracks. Their kindergarten teachers were allowing students to give the teachers shoulder massages which is not an acceptable or an appropriate practice. The principal will quickly throw her staff "under the bus" but then will immediately back-pedal and cover for them almost immediately after. The term "lazy" was used to describe our child's teacher. After these concerns our child's teacher didn't have the professionalism or accountability to talk to us either in any way to ease our concerns because there is no genuine concern. We moved on from this school and it's the best decision we've made being that our daughter had to catch up on a few things at her new school which is something we worried about due to the lack of structure at Cambridge and their "You Tube video" curriculum. Our child has grown exponentially in just a few weeks at her new school. The negative reviews are spot on at Cambridge, if you can find them. There has been reviews stating that they get removed to keep up their "good image." Warning to parents ‐ they will manipulate and there is no genuine concern for your child at Cambridge. Stay away from this school!
