Wonderful! Both of my children attended this sweet school and they are thriving academically.

Great school my daughter had attended the last 2yrs. Extremely helpful staff, very good caring teachers, and small classrooms for best learning environment. She was behind in reading from Gold Canyon district, and McDowell got her caught up via Title. We are a small town, with small town values....similar to one big family that all stick together in the best interest of the children. Andrea

I see so many glowing reviews of this school, but that has not been my experience. There are a few gems in the school: a select few teachers (whom we have not been lucky enough to get), the support staff, and the office staff. The special education program is also excellent, from what I can see. We have, however, had many struggles here despite attempts to make things better. For two years, I feel my child was written off as a bad kid and treated very poorly. There were times that he definitely deserved punishment, and I stood by the teacher's decisions.. but there were times when the punishments were just downright ludicrous because the teacher was just done dealing with him. Many things were not communicated to me in a timely manner. I was an involved parent and put a lot of support towards this school but we never really felt a part of it. We found an alternative for our son that has been a godsend and he is thriving. So while this school may be for some, it is definitely not for everyone.

Now this a good school with happy teachers, students, and parents four peaks should take some pointers.
