My children are new to this school this school year. the area of the school is rather desirable, a nice upper class area. So I was very surprised, no punt intended to learn how the educational system was lacking that of a less classy area of Phoenix. the school it self appearance was a delight to the beholder, it would have appeared they put a lot of money in the stricter of the school , and there was still ongoing construction going on added to the parking stricter. they added covered parking to the school as if the was a business area or a high school were a lot of students drove to and from school. What I found Very disappointing of this school was right off the administrative staff was unwelcoming, had no desire to help even when I advised we were new to the school. Going forward with obtaining the enrollment paper work, I advised the enrolling admin of the dilemma of the original documents, and continued to advise I have a great relationship with the previous school and they
