Navajo Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-08-15 “Navajo is a diverse school with wonderful, caring staff. It has recently become a STEM focus school with unbelievable opportunities in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics areas. Grants from ASU have made tremendous things possible.” Posted By: other Quality Score: 5 2009-08-15 “Navajo is a wonderful school with strong teachers. It is a STEM school, but the fine arts teachers are great, too!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2009-04-29 “I always liked this school and the teachers, staff etc,, 2008 and 2009 has been challenging due to the amount of bullies at this school. They intimidate all ages of kids and do not care about detention or suspension. They will continue to push and threaten kids, all of the innocent children are afraid to speak up. The staff has been proactive in trying to control this but it has been ingrained into the daily life and culture of the school. The parents of the bullies blame the school, teachers, students, and parents instead of taking a step back and analyzing the way they are raising their kids and taking full responsibility and enrolling both kids and parents in counseling for anger issues. I will not enroll my children for another year of intimidation and threats.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2009-01-15 “This school is absolutely the best!!! My son went to another school for his 1st grade year and put back in Navajo. The teachers are caring and go the extra mile to make sure your child is getting the best education. I would recommend this school to anyone who has elementary aged children and are trying to decide where to send them.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-09-18 “I love Navajo. I have two children that attend this school. One is in Kindergardent and the other is in the 5th grade. I am excited about the new Science, Math and Tech that is starting. My children love Navajo as well. My oldest attended Pima last year for a week and cried everyday until we enrolled him back into Navajo.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2008-06-12 “This was the first year my son attended Navajo. The teachers are degrading and disrespectful. The staff I dealt with across the board are negative. There needs to be attitude adjustments and sensativity training. The favoritism and preferential treatment by teachers/staff is disguisting. My son will not attend this school next year. I will be enrolling him in Pima Elementary.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-04-07 “In conjunction with our dedicated teachers, our new principal, Mr. Holmes and parents, Navajo is transforming to a Science, Mathematical and Technology Academy. With Navajo's new leadership and teaching staff, Navajo has a very bright future and we are extremely happy to have our children be a part of it!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-04-07 “I love Navajo! I have two children at Navajo, a fifth grader and a kindergartener. Navajo has a new principal and a great Vice Principal that are motivated and invested in our school and community. With their help we are changing to a Math, Science and Technology school I feel that my children are being challenged and that they have amazing teachers!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-12-18 “Innovative principle with new programs for increased community involvement. Most of his teachers are excellent. Good opportunities for music, art and sport to enhance & improve academic performance. Parent involvement average but this year there seems to be increased programming for families with working parents! Mr. Holmes seems to be the principle this school needs!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-06-02 “Navajo is an alright school. I just moved this year, and I am so excited not to be going back to this school. The staff was full of drama. My daughter loved her Kindergarten teacher, which is great. She learned alot and I think the teachers are great. If they would get some new front desk receptionists the school would be much better off.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 5 2006-08-19 “I taught at Navajo for 4 years. It is a great school that really cares about its diverse popultation. The staff had positive attitudes, were supportive of each other and were always striving to help all students. Also the PTO was very helpful and supportive of the staff. I would say that the classroom represented classrooms across the nation: above grade level, at grade level and below grade level students. The majority of my students were unique and cared about their education. No matter what the classroom population was, all teachers tried to meet every student's needs. I really enjoyed teaching at Navajo and will miss it. I wish all the students and staff the very best. Steve Yontez, 5th grade, 2002 to 2006.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-02-22 “My Son is in the Panda Program and the teacher seem to be excellent. He is making advances in language” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-11-12 “School quality is good. New principal in 05/06 school year will make it a great school. Teachers are dedicated to helping kids succeed. After school art/scrapbooking/dance/soccer offered. Parent involvement is high for a small amount of parents due to many dual working households.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-10-29 “Navajo seems to be a very good school academic wise. Though it seems to me that there is not enough volunteers. I do really feel that they need more volunteers to help in the classroom and on the playground. Teachers are having to take the recess time and instead of doing paperwork and preparing ..they are out there having to supervise the kids. My daughter is in Kindergaten, and she has made so much progress in reading so quickly. They really do have great teachers but they could use some help and some supplies. With just a little bit of time and effort this school could really excell. Happy parent ,just feel for these teachers.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-08-15 “Located in a quiet Scottsdale neighborhood, good families, should be a much better school. Dissapointed in weak principle and weak academics. Good school for middle-low students, terrible for really bright kids.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-06-15 “diverse academic programs, foreign languages, music and art in every grade, not many organized sports for younger children, located in great quiet central Scottsdale neighborhood. Plenty of opportunity for parent involvement, fun school sponsored evening events, talent show, etc” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-04-12 “Overall, the Scottsdale School district is good compared to other Phoenix area districts. I personally feel that the classrooms are growing ever year, and the staff size is shrinking. An average school in my opinion. Could be better for Scottsdale.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: decline 2005-04-04 “I attended Navajo elementary 20 years ago and at that time it was exceptional, but lacked adequate music and art programs.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-01-28 “the teachers were very good we were pleased their dedication.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-12-14 “The kindergarten class always has a stressful rushed feeling. I believe this is because it only last two hours. The teacher is always rushing to finish and the children seem frustrated. The development of social skills is important at this age and I think the two hour class gives them little time to socialize with each other. This school would do better if they at least increased the kindergarten class by another hour.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-06-08 “Navajo is a very culturally diverse school. The parents and teachers are fantastic!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-04-12 “Navajo is a close knit community and offers a sound education. The Majority of teachers are outstanding. It is a great community school and truly celebrates diversity.” Posted By: Quality Score: 4 2003-05-04 “If I would have been filling this out four or five years ago, I would have given the school all fives. As all SUSD schools, Navajo is becoming more concerned with test scores and less concerned with the overall learning experience. The creativity is less and the learning 'activities' are fewer as they prepare for those test scores. The staff is wonderful and the diversity was a big plus for us!”
