they are always great way better than desert wind middle school the teachers there don't care about the students ever.

I think that Maricopa Wells Middle School is doing a fair job...certainly there is room for improvement. However, I am understanding that we are living in a community that grows at a crazy rate and has a somewhat transient population. I also understand that is my responsibility as a parent to be involved in my child's education. The teachers here have a somewhat overwhelming amount of students...but if you reach out, the teachers will respond and do whatever they can to help your child. I know this from experience. I support the school and appreciate what my son is getting from Maricopa Wells. Thank you to the teachers and staff for your hard work!
Maricopa Wells Middle School is in the need of improvement. I hope that this happens soon, but it will take time. Last school year was bad. It was overcrowded. They need more teachers in order to make class sizes smaller. With the new middle school, I hope that helps. The school is not a community (students or staff). That can be fixed. Many kids at the school are out of control. More discipline is needed there. The administrators need to do something to help that. The principal does not support her teachers there. She spends her day in her office. She is not out and about as often as she should have last year. She does not respect teachers. Many teachers were unhappy. Other teachers did teacher observations. This school and district needs improvement, and it will eventually come, but it will take time. Many teachers left the school.
I think it is unfortunate that Maricopa has grown so fast that the district is challenged with building and opening schools at a frenzied pace. The result seems to be overcrowding and a sub standard level of education and activities available to students. I believe the teachers and staff are doing the best they can with the conditions that exist. The parents, however, do not. I see very little parent involvement at school functions I attend. (eg. chaparoning dances, bring your parent to school day). So sad. I will be moving my child back to Ahwatukee as I dont believe MUSD20 is able to provide a quality education at this point in time.
