This is honestly the worst school I been to. The enrollment process doesn’t make any sense. To the point they lost my enrollment information, told me I never have it to them. ( These documents included important information about my daughter.) Never notifies of any parent/teacher conferences. Parental involvement was non existent. Every other school would keep me informed about homework assignments, student progress reports. I never received a report card for her 2nd quarter until the day I withdrew her from school. With tardies and absences I was completely unaware of! This is frightening. Even though my daughter has been withdrawn from this school. I will be speaking to their principal about our experience. If he doesn’t listen then I’m going to the Superintendent and climbing the latter until I get a response. The office staff has been rude, bending the rules for some but allowing the majority of children and families sink through their badly ran school system!

Returning Back To Laveen- We recently return back to Laveen for almost a year living out of state due to a job opportunity. My husband and I were thrilled to see how much the community is growing (homes being built, new businesses etc). We were even more thrilled for my 1st grader son to return back to his home school. First day back on the school campus, we were greeted by familiar faces from his previous teachers (preschool & kindergarten), staff, and his IEP Team. It was an heart-warming welcome back to Laveen Elementary that helped my son feel right at home. My experience with the teachers and staff has always been transparent on our communication. I would volunteer at the school and attend the PTO as much as possible to support the school as well as be the role model for my son. My opinion is solely based on my personal experience and I am fully aware that each family has their own opinion(s) what they expect from the school their child(ren) attends at. As our community grows, I would love to see Laveen Elementary also grow by continuing to set the bar high so that parents could feel more confident to enroll their child(ren) at this school. For my family, we are happy to be back home and taking our son to school at Laveen.

Standards of education are not the priority of Laveen Elementary school or this district in the person of its Asst. Principal or the Asst. District Superintendent. Failed students (students that received a final school year grade of "F" in Core subjects such as Reading/Math) are regularly promoted to the next grade level without hesitation. This promotes student apathy, disrespect for education, and undermines the teacher's ability to control their classroom. This type of educational atmosphere also creates parental apathy and severely hinders parental involvement. What's exceptionally disheartening about this, is that this practice is rigorously defended by the Asst. District Superintendent even to the point where this senior ranking official is unable to articulate or justify how a failed student gets promoted to the next higher grade (even when the publicized district policy doesn't allow it) equal to a student that worked hard to be placed on the honor roll. This type of leadership promotes a culture of failure from the top to the last student in the district and paints a very dark future for the students and the future of this nation. Please, thoroughly weigh your options before enrolling in Laveen Elementary or the Laveen Elementary School District if you desire your child(ren) to be educated in a way where education is the priority and not merely a punchline.

I honestly have to saybthis school was good untill dr.leavy Came and changedd the school. But the interesting story Is that some of the teachers here dont really instructct You well enough for you to understand. And also there is A big problem with disrespect from the techers and as the students Have to go under conduct of S.O.A.R why dont the teachers Have to do this either. It is disapointing that such a great School tearned into a mess after 4 years this school should Learn from there mistakes. And also I have seen techers do favorites With students especially students that are males and miss behave Alot I see teachers buying them McDonald's every other week and If you fix these problems I will be glad as a student too go back too laveen elementary Thank you this school nedds alittle fixing but its a grwat school
