Las Brisas Elementary School 5805 West Alameda Road, Glendale, AZ 85310

"I attended this school grades 1-6 and had a generally positive experience. Seeing that it was 6 years ago, nostalgia definitely factors into this, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. As a young student, Las Brisas was always a safe place for me. The school’s layout made it easy to navigate and get around. The teachers I had were all different, as all teachers are, but they were all unique in a good way. One critique I have is some were strict in the name of “next year is going to be so much harder, so behave now”, but I think that’s just a general tactic to get kids to work. The different styles of teaching I was first introduced to at Las Brisas were very helpful down the road, and I knew how to handle different teachers in middle and high school. I’m very glad I went to school at the time I did, because it is drastically different these days. Most of us had no phones, so I really had the sense of being a child. If you wanted to tell your friend something, you had to wait until the next day. Without the distraction of technology at our fingertips, we were more creative, we played football, basketball, wall ball, soccer, etc. at recess, and it was always a great time. It felt like the teachers encouraged me to be myself, and I was happy. I got involved in band and loved it. It seemed like I was a part of something bigger, which is something I desperately missed in middle and high school. I have so many memories from this school, and I absolutely would recommend it to anyone."
