Big gaming

My children have been to schools in Tempe, Scottsdale, San Tan Valley and now at Peralta, and we have had a better experience at Peralta than anywhere else. From my first encounter with the office staff, to meeting the teachers, everyone has been kind and respectful. My children loved their teachers. They make sure to keep parents in the loop with class dojo, emails and flyers. They have lots of school activities that involve the whole community, such as a Halloween festival and steam nights. I'm so glad to have found a great school for my kids, after everything that's been going on in the world these past few years.

The last two reviewers are obviously current employees at this school. Nothing has changed in the past 3 years that my daughter has attended, things are only going to get worse for this school if they do not start staffing and hiring employees with more scrutiny. It's VERY clear the front office cares not for children and it was obvious to me that they are very uneducated people.I understand educational budget cuts and other schools in the area closing has had a massive effect on this school, but there are no exceptions when it comes to children.The current principle needs to step down and let someone more capable replace her, I have had several interactions with her and from what I can tell the school as a business comes first, not the kids.

We have had a great experience with Peralta this year. 3rd child in 3rd elementary school and we have been impressed with both teachers and staff.

The front staff is always welcoming and helpful, very effective communication. The principal is very kind and you can tell she enjoys working with kids. We have had an AMAZING sped teacher with awesome paras as well. I was very worried about my son starting kinder last year, but the staff really put my mind at ease. I am really looking forward to another great year!
