EDUPRIZE Schools - Gilbert Campus

Worst school I've ever attended. I used to go there from K-3rd grade, while there were a couple good teachers, there were some really awful ones that caused me emotional damage for years after. Especially Mrs. Rogers, she did not know how to teach me at all and when I didn't know the answer she would yell at me and single me out in front of the entire class. She made me feel worthless and stupid. My parents started noticing me repeat those words to myself at home so they were very concerned, and after hearing from a couple classmates how she treated me, they pulled me out of her class. But that's not all, in addition to terrible teachers, the students were not any better themselves. There was lots of bullying going on, physical fights breaking out, and just awful behavior all around. Tl;dr: do not put your kids in this school, I know from experience how awful it was, there are much better options like Gilbert public schools that do a much better job teaching without harming your child's mental health!

3 out of 4 of my children attended Eduprize... ds1 2nd-4th grade at first things were great. Suddenly by the end of 3rd they wanted to hold him back because he was at a 2.4 grade level. I asked for dyslexia testing but they said if he still struggles after repeating 3rd they would test in 5th grade. I ended up paying $3000 for testing outside of the school because it wasn't covered by insurance. He was able to go onto 4th grade with an IEP. By the 3rd quarter the teacher mentioned she didn't know what to do with him and most of the time he did whatever he wanted. He was also falling behind made managed to test at a 1.2 grade level. I took him out of school that week and planned to homeschool him for 2ys to get caught up. In 2018 he was diagnosed with autism and requires a lot of therapy to get caught up.I decided to keep ds2 in school who had attended since kinder and was about to go into 3rd grade. He never struggled and was always ahead but little issues started coming up. He got in trouble nearly every day for talking because he finished his test but was required to put his head down for nearly an hour. He started have anxiety issues and after meeting with psychologist he was diagnosed as autistic and gifted... the school flat out refused to accommodate him. I pulled him out mid school year.Ds3 attended half a year of kinder... before going he knew his letters and sounds and he could read phonics words. He forgot this all in 6mths! He was also diagnosed with autism and articulation issues. The school only offered 30mins a week for articulation. They refused to write an IEP and after a 1hr observation they didn't think he had autism. I liked 4 teachers at this school and 2 left after only 1 year of teaching. When replacements were brought in they usually didn't last or were very very mean. The class schedules are overwhelming and do not allow for brainbreaks. Most of the work done is copy work so no original thoughts. My children say the teachers give them the answers so they are all correct. This school is only good for atypical children who don't mind being mindless robots.

If you want to heart the Principal say the "F word" in front of your child then this the school for your children.  My daughter was bullied and nothing was done about it.  When she started to defend herself she was the one suspended.  This school pretends to care about their children but they really don't.  The only teacher that help my daughter my daughter was coach Forbes.  He set his class straight and that was theonly class she was not whispered and talked about.  They would go as far as to push and bump into her knocking her phone out of her hands and breaking it.  The dean of students and principal did nothing but punish them

Have had both my boys attend this school so I can speak to my experience with kinder, 1st and 2nd grades. Edu-prize is one of the only schools that offers an alternative schedule in their TOPS program, either 7:20-12:20 or 11-4:10pm, or traditional full day with early out Friday. They even have a program where you can play sports before school! Have overall had a very positive experience, my kids learned a lot and would say they do offer more freedom of movement than other schools. If you are lucky enough to get Ms. Dillon, one of their 2nd grade teachers consider yourself very lucky, she is incredible and often when I would visit her classroom the kids were literally laughing or doing some fun interesting approach to learning. Ms.Decker & Ms. Gonzalez were also so lovely and diligent and really tried hard to teach to the individual needs of my son and taught them so much!

Wow there is a whole lot of hate in some of those reviews.I can only speak to our experience while our two kids went to Edu-Prize's Gilbert campus. They attended from kindergarten through the 8th grade, and they are now graduating from high school with honors. They were well prepared for high school, and loved their experience at the school. We found the Principal, teachers and staff loving and concerned for our kids and all the children under their charge. Of course it wasn't perfect, and there were things that we had to work through, and there were some growing pains for the school also. But "Hello" people welcome to the real world.I know things can change over time, but I would highly recommend you check out this school for yourself. Don't let the angry venting of strangers dissuade you from what maybe one of the best places for your children and their education, so make up your own mind.P.S. As to the specific charge leveled against Dr. McCammon in 1 review. All I can say is the Dr. McCammon we were privileged to have as Principal, during our kids 9 years at Edu-Prize was one of the most wonderful, loving and caring leaders we could have ever hoped for. She practice a literal open door policy, and seemed to truly love the kids.
