My kids just finished year 2 at Chaparral Elementary and have been there since it opened in 2007. The first year was a bit rough, as it often is for a first year, but the staff has really worked though the issues and this year was phenomenal. I attend PTO meetings and The Principal, Mrs. Edgar is dedicated and seems to really listen and respond to parents' concerns. I volunteer in both my kids' classrooms regularly and have come to know many of the teachers and staff this way and I couldn't be more impressed. There are lots of community events (Fall Festival, Muffins with Mom, Doughnuts with Dad, Sock Hop, etc...) that are fun for the whole family and give the opportunity for the staff to have fun with the students as well. Higley school district is definitely having 'growing pains,' but Chaparral is a bright spot in the district!

We just moved to CA and I have to say I miss Chaparral Elementary already. My Kindergartner had Mrs Pallon, and what an amazing teacher she is. We will never forget her wonderful example and dedication to her class. Thanks Mrs Pallon and all the staff at Chaparral!

I love the school! Great staff, parents and students. I would not use this as a forum to talk about others and use their names..how sad. I think all the office staff and teachers are doing a wonderful job. Some are busier than others and focused on getting their jobs done; nothing wrong with that. Great school with excellent staff and families! some have much more work that

This school is wonderful. My daughter is now in 2nd grade and came from a school with the 2nd highest test scores in the state in the middle of last year. She is still being challenged and absolutely loves it at Chaparral. Shannon is absolutely fabulous. There is another front office staff by the name of Jennifer that does the attendance. She isn't quite as warm and fuzzy as Shannon but still very nice. Anyway, I am a former teacher so I'm pretty particular about schools. I would love to see more veteran teachers there but this is only the 2nd year they've been open and I think they're doing a fabulous job.
