Pueblo Del Sol Elementary School

I believe that school rates as low as any school can... I think it's more like Lord of the flies then a school...

Despite their Moto thing which is recited every morning, if the children are learning by example they'll leave worse for the experience...

The principal doesn't care, when confronted with the fact that staff nor parents followed nor enforced safety protocol their fix was to stop posting it. My child has been bullied by one boy in particular all year, and a different child threatened violence and besides shaking a finger at the boy nothing has been done at all...

As stated above nothing has been done about a problem that's been going on since the second week of school and it's almost May... Not to mention what I've been told by my child I think the boy needs counseling, but they aren't doing anything to help anyone...

I truly loved this school, though some of the students are kinda mean and rude. The resource teachers are very smart and nice, the teachers are strict but it helps the students learn. It was a rough year for my daughter at the beginning but the teachers knew what she needed and helped her.

My daughter transferred here from NY where we had a wonderful 1st grade experience and she was a straight a student. When we got to PDS they started failing her in reading, sending her to multiple reading classes, and anytime I called or sent in a note, they were ignored. I finally called the principle, and the SECOND time, my questions were finally answered. Also my daughter has been bullied, and when she tells an adult, she is told to "get over it". I don't think that is appropriate in any way. I would look into other school before going to this one. HORRIBLE experience.

Very Excellent and well trained teachers. I was here and I liked it. I have been here for 3 years and loved all the children and made lots of friends. I even still know some children. All the teachers cared for me. This was where I got very smart at math by Accelerated math.I also know there is AR where you memorize books for tests to meet a goal for rewards. I will never forget this school. And to the school. I learned a new reading Strategy: Read with CURAJ(At Desert Sky). C is Circle Key words. U is underline important words for the passage. Rewrite the question in your own words.Answer the question. Justify(Explain why you got that answer. and for Order Of Operations. I learned PEMDAS(Parentheses,Exponents,Multiply Divide left to right,Add Subtract left to right). I am at Desert Sky with some students with the same minds as me. I made more friends. I'll miss you PDS. A boy that all of some 6th graders know me.

There is not another school in the district, county, and perhaps Southern Arizona that is at the same level as PdS. They were recently awarded as a "Blue Ribbon School", one of only four schools in the state to achieve the honor. Don't let anyone tell you that any charter school in the area is equal; they are not.

My children attended PDS from Sept 2008- March 2010. We have been thrilled with this school, the teachers, the pricipal. We were very sad to leave Sierra Vista and PDS. Our children transfered from DODDS schools in Germany in 2008. Our oldest was in 4th grade and struggled a bit to catch up with his peers, but as a 5th grader and starting from the 1st of the yr he did terrific and Mrs. Caputo was the factor to help him to soar to a new level of achievement. Mrs. Faust was our 2nd child's 1st grade teacher and too is AWESOME! Mr. Wilson (principal) sets a new level of expectation for parents. He takes the time to know each child by name and interacts with them daily! More schools should strive to achieve the standards of PDS!!

Wonderful school and staff!! My son has Mrs. Holston for second grade and I can't say enough good things about her! She challenged each individual child on their own level and teaches them accountability and time management. Very important life skills! She really really goes above and beyond!!
