In my opinion this is THE best middle school in Tucson. We did our research before sending our kid/​s there and we’ve been beyond happy with the teachers, administration and the curriculum. The curriculum is difficult… prepares them well for high school. They hold the kids accountable for schedules and organization which is key! The teachers actually contact you right away if you email them! According to the research I did a couple of years ago, it was the #1 middle school in the state of Arizona when it comes to test scores. The only downside is that eventually your kid will start asking for all they «toys» their rich friends have! But the parents with the money are the same ones supporting a high education in that district and we all know that money gets great teachers, great technology and great curriculum. Thank you to those families that support the district!

Excellent middle school, I might be heavily biased because I went here but I liked it. Some classes I took here were harder and more demanding then high school or college.
