Challenger Middle School Reviews

 
The school is so overwhelmed with the amount of students, when I see another apartment complex go up I know the school will get another rush of students. Our child is in 5th grade and this is his third school because of over crowding, I thought the purpose of buying a home was so that children could stay in the same school. As for parents we need to speak up, jump up and down, scream and holler whatever it take to get some action.

Parent apathy, overwhelmed teachers, poor student behavior, continous staff turnover, and lack of effective leadership at the district level are all factors that cause Challenger to be a below average school. There are some bright spots but unfortunately that are few and far between. There is much that needs to be done in order to turn Challenger into a quality school.

It is sad that this school can't meet no child left behind act for the last 5 years.I believe our teachers are underpaid and the curriculum needs to be changed. Glendale District needs to step in and assist with these changes.

It is very sad to see Challenger (when it was a true middle school) an A+ school, now falling to the label of an under performing school. There are a number of reasons for the failings, but the efforts to save money has let good teacher after good teacher go to other schools by transforming the school into a fabricated K-8 school is a shame.

we pulled out our daughter and put our daughter in a charter school and doing a lot better they have real grade not like here where it is meets failing or exceeding that don't tell you how they are really doing she is on the honor roll and getting homework it great we should have done this years ago. Most of the kids have no respect. If you can don't put your kids in this school.

I am very disappointed in the teaching staff at this school. The teachers seem very rushed and overwhelmed with too many students. This school is a failing school and the other schools in Glendale are mostly failing too! I am transferring my child out of here as soon as I can.

Seems to be alot of minorities at this school.
