Parent: We love this school. We moved to AZ 2 years ago, and after multiple incidents of my daughter being bullied at one of the public schools, we enrolled her into Legacy. The teachers and staff are amazing! They have music and art classes which sadly are not available at the public schools. My daughter has built strong friendships with her classmates, and there is no bullying. I see Legacy students and parents where I work in maricopa, and the children all tell me how much they enjoy Legacy and that everyone is always kind to one another. They do flag ceremony in the morning and recite the pledge of allegiance. There is a lot of homework and studying to be done, but I think it’s exactly what children need. My daughter feels a huge sense of accomplishment when she succeeds in her school work.... Read 6 reviews

Alum: I only attended Legacy Traditional School when I moved to Arizona before my 8th-grade year. While I was there I can safely say that it was 1000 times better than my old middle school. And I highly recommend it for anyone that is living in Casa Grande. The campus is very safe and the teaching staff is nice.... Read 3 reviews

Parent: My children have attended EDUPRIZE since Kindergarten. WE LOVE THIS SCHOOL! The teachers and administration are top notch. They over sports, clubs and educational scheduling for my kiddos who participate in extra-curriculuar activities. We love the cottages and the cottage fairs! Everyone is always so helpful and happy. I would recommend this school to everyone who is looking for a outstanding education for their children.... Read 5 reviews

Senior: I came back to American Leadership Academy after leaving the bad conditions of Higley. Overall, I'd say that the classes are decent, the teachers are great, and the students are friendly and fun to hang around. I enjoyed running cross country and getting to know my peers more throughout this time as well. As for what I'd like to see changed, some of the rules are inconsistent from teacher to teacher, and it really depends on what type of personality you are dealing with in the classroom. Also, I feel that not enough funding goes into classroom management, resources, and curriculum. More than once I have seen the computers break down in my Software and APP class, and the chrome books are extremely slow. Overall, I think this school is very good, but not exceptional....

Senior: It's a smaller school so that could be either good or bad for an individual based on their type of behavior. Get involved, seriously. There are so many interesting, different people there. Get involved with the people, understand your teachers/staff better, go to dances and sports events when you can because Pathway can be a lot of fun. I didn't start genuinely appreciating high school until my junior year and that's because I found a group of people that made everything worth it. It's cheesy and cliche but I promise high school is everything and it only gets better.... Read 16 reviews

Freshman: Maricopa High School is excelled in providing opportunities for all goals and achievements. The counselors work with you! Having easy contact to your counselor and being able to satisfy what you want for your schedule is so important. I had an abundance of changes that needed to be tended to for my schedule and my counselor worked through them. My counselor made sure I got all my necessary classes and the classes I wanted. Even though I may be a freshman, I've jad my fair share of teachers. Especially in a year of unknowing that is 2020-21, the teachers have been understanding and rolling with the punches. Teamwork and communication is not only in their sports teams, but also as a staff and school as a whole.... Read 273 reviews
