Terrible! School has no communion with the parent ! They try to run this place like a boot camp sitting on the wall in the hot sun for 15 mins with no shade or water for 3 days straight teacher very unprofessional rolling their eyes and hating on the principal the office staff is very rude and unfriendly only one I actually think is very nice is the school nurse !!!!

school sent my daughter home bruised and hit on several occasions. failed to properly notify me, once police report was made on our behalf school began to target our child as A Danger to self and others, conveniently...Educators have presented themselves as not qualified to deal with our Autistic child A.. The shame here is that ADULTS in covering up whats really going on are Bullying children. Our child will NOT BE RETURNING TO THIS SCHOOL.

My experience with Cactus Wren has been very positive. My two children have attended the school for the past two years and are doing very well. The teachers care about the students and have been available for me as a parent when I needed to speak with them. My kids have been able to attain good grades making the principals list and honor roll. The uniforms are something I like about the school even though some people do not. The principal is dedicated and works hard to make the school a good place for the students. She also sets a good example for the rest of the staff. I think this is a great place for my kids education.

We came from a different city. My son started 2nd grade at Cactus Wren. To my shock I was informed within the first month of school my son was reading at a low kindergarten level. His teacher at the time went out of her way to work with him. It was tough & we even had him enrolled in their after school academy. By the end of the school year he was reading at an intermediate 2nd grade level. His 2nd grade teacher is AMAZING. His 3rd grade teacher was not so "exceptional" but none the less still a good teacher...The staff is amazing & courteous...Office ladies are amazing & helpful...& I absolutely love how involved the principal is with students & parents...over all my son loved this school as did my husband & I...my son will be attending a new school next year but only because we have moved out of the district...
