Arizona Academy of Science and Technology
This school has a new director and principal as of 2011. There is a little over one hundred students. My daughter has attended two school years. Everyone knows one another and they often have family events to come together as a community. Staff and teachers are super nice. The down side is there is no physical education, no music, only part time special education once a week and technology is more for upper grades. They have great potential and they are aiming to add the previously mentioned in the future. In general, I like the school.
