Arts Academy At Estrella Mountain

"This school has amazing people, teachers and staff!! Everyone is open to a good learning environment! The teachers are there to help every student successes in arts and in academics. There is a ASU program which can have a beneficial advantage in high school as you skip algebra 1 and go straight to algebra 2. The arts and clubs are fun, but with these hard times I honestly don't know what they are doing in terms of clubs because of covid-19 (I'm in high school now), but I know the are working hard to provide everything a student needs to become great! Something I do not like though, is the students. Sometimes there can be mean and rude. Some create lots of peer pressure, but there are lots of students that encourage you and help to be a great person. Where ever you fall in, depends on where you start and where you keep putting yourself into."

"I think the school is not the best but it’s okay. There’s some good teachers. The school could use a library and better lunch. The breakfast is ridiculous, my daughter doesn’t like it. Also the playground is very small for the amount of kids they have. I do like all the events they have throughout the year."

"My oldest daughter had a horrible experience in this school, she was bullied for years and even tho me and my husband complained 5 different times directly to the principal and teachers nothing was done. They don't have ZERO TOLERANCE FOR THIS. The school environment was so negative and trashy, this had a negative impact in my daughter that she went through depression. Don't give me wrong 6years ago this was a really great school but it all went down lately. Do not send your kids here. Both of my children 8years and 12 years are going to a different School now and thanks God and they love it. Horrible school! Zero stars!!!"

"As a student of this school, I have to say it is a terrible school. Bad food such as rotten apples, undercooked/frozen food, overly greasy food to the point that it is moist with it, and their "French bread pizza" is just burnt. They also add strange and annoying rules. They can deprive the Teacher of payment for something they are not responsible for, but the kids'! They only get 2 stars for the majority of the teachers being great, but it does still have a good amount of bad ones too. Unfortunately one of my most favorite teachers had inexplicably been fired. She was one of the most kindest people I've ever met and she has taught me so much in English class. It's a shame they decided to fire one of their best."

"This is the second year my children have attended arts Academy, and this will be their last! I am so disappointed in this in the way that the school is now being ran. They continue to let go of amazing employees this way they can probably save a dollar or two and hire people who are not as qualified to educate our children. I've had multiple conversations with teachers as well as administrative staff, that have gotten me nowhere. My child comes home with grades that are slowly dropping and when questioning the teacher they tell me I can watch the testing. However everything that my child brings home and the information on their dojo which is a communication log that stats my child is getting 100% this makes no sense other then the staff at the school no longer know what they're doing! They fire people who had 20 years of experience and for what reason? They say they don't need reasons to fire people at that school. However their new nutritionist, has long dirty nails and horrible hi Jean not to mention the fact but she does not stick true to the guidelines that are provided by the state nor do my children get to eat what is on the menu there's been a few times for my child came home and didn't eat that day because what was put onto the menu was not what was being given to the children and my kids do not like that. My kids now take snacks and lunch to school. I would not recommend the school to anybody. They should stop having so many fundraisers, or charging the children to participate in their classes and extracurricular activities. Really take a good look at their staff and their surroundings to make sure that they can provide the best education for the future of our children!"
