My daughter is a transfer from a Tempe school and was in all of the excelling programs they had to offer, she was even put in their gifted program because of the many request from her teacher's. I was worried in transferring her because the standards are listed lower for Pastor than her previous school. Come to find out that because the students in the Roosevelt school district have fallen behind in previous years they have in fact raised their academic standard and to my surprise the classwork/homework is a lot more challenging for my daughter than the school she came from scoring straight A's in all subjects in her entire time being in school. Her first report card from Pastor had mostly satisfactories which I was not pleased about but the teacher was able to provide supporting documentation stating that it was accurate according to my daughters' work and therefore I had know reason to doubt the grades that were given. If this school continues to challenge my child, I will be the first to sing its praises as all that is important is that my daughter is able to excel in life and a great education is certainly the first step.

This school is not a good school at all. My child has had more problems since going to this school than she has her whole life. She has been labled a problem child for little stuff that has happened. And her and a group of friends have been made to help the little kids the rest of the year and can not hang around each other. So think twice before you put your child in this school. Im taking her out and im taking them to court

Too early to write a review but, I do know that I can't use the Handicapped Parking to pick up my grandson in the afternoon. because all these parking spaces are being blocked by parents picking up their kids.

Thanks,

Mr. Espinoza
