    "Mountain Vista Middle School has had a great year. For those people who want a great school that has not had a staff turn over in five years, a staff that is committed to the students this is the place for your students. All the teachers will be back again next year...they are the most caring and dedicated staff I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. High standards and a commitment to excellence for all students. This school is truly committed to the students and their families."

    "To the person below me this school is a GREAT school and Mrs Taylor does a great job.. She is a great principal and she does NOT bully no kids around.. The only reason i would rate the principal a 4 out of 5 is because, YES there is only ONE principal but i can tell you right now since my Kids have switched from Magma K-8 they have learned 20 MORE and excelled WAY better than they did in Magma Ranch. This school is GREAT and NO DOUBTS ABOUT IT! GREAT PROGRAMS, AWESOME TEACHERS, AND VERY INVOLVED WITH THE PARENTS! 5 OUT OF 5!"

    "If you spent just a bit of your time at the school I honestly believe you would be overwhelmingly impressed by the dedication and care that is being offered to our children. Speak to one of these dedicated teachers -ask them about your student - they know them - I promise you - your student is not lost in the crowd. Once you see how the staff interacts with our kids - you see the engagement - the kind that some of us only wish we had or SHOULD have with our children - then you will know that much of the negative that has been said in previous posts is from parents who know absolutely nothing at all about Mountain Vista Middle School. Ask your child about the amazing elective classes that are being offered - they are out of this world - and offered only because of the additional work and time the same teachers put in to create these NEW classes. Ask them about the new Math program that the school is piloting. Ask them about how their principal knows each one of them by name and knows to ask them how a test went and exactly what that student is working on in each class. Did you know there is a PTO? I am just so proud to say that my daughter is an MVMS Wolverine! T.Y. MVMS!"

    "There are a lot of negative comments for Mountain Vista Middle School. But the positives comments seem to go to the charter Schools in the area. Why? And there are a lot of teachers standing up for Mountain Vista and that's good. But Coolidge Unified School District needs to make more academic improvements to win back the students that the parents have given many chances to San Tan and Mountain Vista over the years. As a parent I want what's best for my children and if that means putting them in a Charter School then that's what I need to do. I don't think that CUSD is meeting their needs, right now."

    "As a teacher at MVMS I am so upset to read to the negative comments from these parents. Let me tell you how it really is at our school. Our team is small but it is very powerful in many ways. Every teacher stays at this school ( not for a paycheck) but because we love enriching the live of our students in a positive way. We are there for students when they are laughing and comforting them when they are crying. Many teachers stay after school to tutor students who are struggling without receiving extra pay. The teachers build relationships with students and parents that last a lifetime. We are encouraging students inside the classroom and cheering them on when it comes to activities outside of school. As far as dicipline I believe as teachers we handle that well within our classroom. An experienced teacher does not need to send a student to the principle for every little thing. I am appauled about being blasted on here when I have been committed to this district for four years. As a parent if you have a problem please come in and discuss it with us. Our school has a open door policy which students and parents are more than welcome to talk to teachers and the principle"
