San Tan Elementary School

Posted October 21, 2008

Very unhappy with this school. Our child has attended this school for 7 years now. She has had all but 1 teacher in those 7 years that had the actual experience and ability to effectivly teach and discipline the students so they were productive.(Thank you Ms. Dayna Smith for making a difference!) Most of the teachers at this school are very young and under experienced, most cannot even control the children in their classes which makes it difficult for the serious students to learn. If you have the option to choose another school, I would definitely do that. Where is the leadership at this school to make the necessary changes that should be made?

I love San Tan.My kids also love it.The teacher my son has is going above and beyond to help him with his weaknesses.Not only does he help him with his weaknesses,but hones in on his strengths.He has called me 3x and we have had a conference and School has only been in session for a month and a 1/2.he is dedicated to his work and his students. As far as the extracurricular activities are concerned there are several to choose from.They have a Art nad Science club,cheer,karate,dance,orchestra.There os something for everyone.The PTO is also very dedicated to making sure that School events run smoothly and are fun for everyone involved,not just the students.I plan to have my children stay in Sna Tan until its' time for them to go to High School.All the staff at San Tan are doing an excellent job!!!

This school is terrible if you can put your child somewhere else do. In fact, very disappointed all together with the Higley School District. We switched our children here from a Franklin School. They have been here two years now. They will not be next year. This school should receive a failing grade for quality of staff, extracurricular activities and parent inovlvement. Academics are suffering at san tan, if you can get your child into a better school do it before it is too late for them. Good Luck to all. I know the Franklin schools are great as that is where are two children will return and we are looking into Junior High in Mesa Schools where we are looking to move because of their schools after this experience.

My kids have been going to this school for 6 years. I am moving soon and I am very glad. The teachers are great, but the administration is horrible. Mr. LaRose was a great principal, but the one now is awful!!! Also, their HATS program (the gifted program) needs a lot of work. I don't feel as though my children get the education they deserve at San Tan. I would have given it one star, but the teachers are really good.
