Kyrene de la Esperanza Elementary School, Phoenix | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

My family and I just recently moved here from Utah, and we had high hopes for this school, because of its many awards and high rating on Zillow. From the first day of trying to register my kids until now, (last day of school is tomorrow), it has been hell! I would not recommend the school to anyone!! First off, the registration process was a nightmare. The office staff was so rude and condescending. They aren’t willing to work with you at all! My kids missed a couple WEEKS of school when we first moved here, because of paperwork complications. The kids here are the biggest bullies I have ever seen!!! They treated my kids like ‘new kids’ in the worst way possible and left them out of everything! My son is so sweet so smart has a lot to offer and a lot of potential, but he cannot excel at this school. The kids in his class stole his journal out of his backpack and read it aloud to the class and teased him & laughed at him, and THEN to top it off they put his journal in the backpack of the girl that he had a crush on, to embarrass him. It was mortifying for him!!!!! He’s in 4th grade. The only reason I’m giving the school two stars instead of ZERO, is because I love my kid’s teachers, Ms. Shand & Miss McDaniel, and the principal Dr. Green, is pretty great too. It’s too bad I have to give such a horrible review when there are good teachers and a good principal here. Transferring my kids to a different school.

Amazing teachers and administration! Forward thinking school that cares about our kids and has an amazing technology program!
