Southgate Academy is the worst school in Tucson. I do not recommend anyone taking their child to…read morethat school. I've seen my daughter having to get in a van and she doesn't even have a seat she is forced to sit in the back on the floor. Not only that my daughter seen what kind of crappy buses they have. on a bus there is a seat that doesn't even have padding on it. I've seen the headlight fall out of the front. also in winter time there's a lot of lights out my daughter also said there is no heaters on one of the busses everyone is forced to freeze. this school does not care about their students they act like it but they don't the front desk people are so young and disrespectful at times. the way they answer the phones are so not professional. The lady that runs the Transportation Department I think her name is Daniella has a bad attitude when she answers the phone she makes me feel like she is bothered when I call to see why the bus is running late. Overall rating for the school not even half a star.... 741-7900 850 W Valencia Road Tucson, AZ 85706

I remember when SSA was a quality school with wonderful teachers who exceeded expectations. That…read morewas so very long ago. I pulled all my kids out of SSA Tucson campus on Sunset. This school is known to discriminate against students, especially their special education students and families. The staff is poorly trained and they're constantly trying to replace teachers who either quit or get fired. Their test scores are abysmal and sadly, they don't prioritize students. It's a negative, mean and cruel environment for kids to spend years in. Avoid at all costs.

My husband and I sent our youngest son to Desert Willow's preschool. I am currently obtaining an…read moreadvanced degree so I'm out of the country quite a bit for the next 2 years. My husband is the primary caregiver while I'm away. Our son had some problems not listening in class and hitting on occasion, neither of which are behaviors we condone. While some of the staff worked with us to correct the problem, there were a few teachers in particular that were difficult to deal and flat out inappropriate. My husband would speak with a particular teacher that dealt well with our son and was making progress. There was nothing inappropriate about their conversations, however, one of the administrators for the program pulled her aside and told her she needed to be aware of how it "looked" with her speaking to my husband while I was out of the country. I trust my husband and I had met and had conversations with this particular teacher so implying there was anything was going on was offensive and uncalled for. I don't believe this was said out of concern for the employee, as the administrator is close friends with two of the other teachers in the same program that my husband and I were having a difficult time dealing with. I can understand when a child has problems and the parent doesn't want to address the situation how that can make it hard for the school, but my husband and I were receptive to anything we could do to make the situation better. It takes discipline on both sides for a toddler to know that bad behavior won't be tolerated at school or at home. I'm not blaming the school for my toddler acting out, but for a parent to acknowledge that there is a problem, ask for help, and then to have one of the few teachers who is willing to assist be removed from the preschool program and placed somewhere else is incredibly frustrating, especially since the majority of my interactions with the Vail School District have been positive. Because we weren't left with any options for teachers that were willing to work with us, we have pulled our son from the program and are taking him to someone we know will take excellent care of him while still addressing any inappropriate behavior.

The support and the family that I had needed all along, I found at this school. All the things that over the years would keep me out of school, they helped me with and made a way for me. The biggest thing is that I did not believe in myself until SACA. This school was a game changer for me and for my friends. The teachers didn't let us fall through the cracks. They really cared and they would pick me up every time and help me to know that I had a purpose and that I could do anything that I set my mind to. I don't know what would have happened to me if I didn't find this school. Fast forward to now. I have a great job and my own family. I ended up going to pima and then the u of A on scholarships which was only possible because of what I learned and who I became at SACA. Now my husband and I cannot wait for our daughter to be old enough to go to SACA too. Thank you for helping me, SACA teachers and to all of the administration. This school means a lot to me

It was honestly terrifying to get started when I was so far behind, but the amazing office staff at Compass walked me through the entire sign up process with endless patience. Not once was I ever made to feel inferior or like a waste of time by any of the teachers or students. All of the classes were well paced so I was never left behind and the staff always made time to help me wherever they could. The teachers all did everything they could to help me get to where I needed to be, and now, after 3 years, I was able to graduate in May 2019! I could never have done it without everyone's help at Compass High School!
