Hopi Elementary School

Beautiful new build school with amazing teachers and community

Bullying is not dealt with in an effective manner by administration nor by individual instructors.

I enjoy the small feel of this school. My kids really do love it most of the time. There are privileges here that are rare at other schools in Arizona. The school has parent involvement like I have never seen. They have so many extra activities to feel apart of the community. My one concern is because most of the school is privileged they have certain expectations that not everyone can live up to financially. Besides one or two teacher experiences it is a wonderful school.

I am extremely disappointed with Hopi and how they treated my son. He is a gifted student that attended Hohokam, where he distinguished himself above the others! We were invited by Hopi to be apart of their Comprehensive Gifted Program. My husband signed him up and had to go back TWICE in May to give them all the paperwork. We even met the principal, was given a tour, and were excited for him to start. We show up for the first day of school, they tell us HE IS NOT ENROLLED. We were outraged! WHY NOT? Their CGP never called them back to confirm he got in TWO MONTHS AFTER WE ENROLLED HIM. FORGET THE FACT that we have the letter right there in our hands with his acceptance. They even had his paperwork and said that we need to call the Gifted Office. They call, we call FOUR TIMES! Nothing. We had to take our upset child back to his other school because they told us there was absolutely nothing they could do. They called us back at 4:00pm (when they close, of course) and were not there when we tried to call back 10 minutes later. Hopi Elementary had two months to contact us, Hohokam had 20 minutes before we got there. Hohokam had a name tag and gift bag waiting for my boy and that changed his entire day! Hopi has been nothing but a major disappointment and financial burden for my family. Unless you are a rich doctor and worth their time, don't expect too much. He will be attending Hohokam this year and I am almost thankful for it. If they treated my child HALF the way they treated us, it definitely would not have worked.
