"I have a child at FAN and I can't say that I love it, I am looking for a new school as we write this. I think how much attention your child gets is how you contribute financially to the school. The female teachers dress inappropriate they look as if they are going to a night club. My daughter has just fallen behind; I have addressed it with the principal but as I said if I contributed more than I would get special attention."

"My child is also in the 5th grade at Freedom Academy and we love his teacher. I am not sure what teacher this other person is speaking about, but I have never seen any belittling and I know the principal would never tolerate such behavior if it was brought to her attention. The principal likely has a personal relationship with all the teachers which is one of many reasons this school is so wonderful. I also have a daughter in second grade and we are equally happy about her teacher. We have been with this school for nearly six years and any time we have had an issue regarding anything, the principal was immediately attentive to our needs I would and have recommended this school on a regular basis. The principal knows each child's name within the first week of school. Each of teachers goes out of their way to learn who all the students in the school are . . . not just the kids in their classes. Belittling is never acceptable and any action like that should be taken up with the principal. I don't think the school should receive one star because of that. This is an amazing school with teachers that give 110%. Amazing principal, amazing teachers, amazing P.E. Coach."

"I give this school 5 stars! I have two children with learning disorders. I have had them in three schools in Scottsdale. Two repeatedly violated their 504's. Both children were 1-2 years behind academically when the got to FAN. The principle at this school goes above an beyond what is required. Her staff fully supports her. They take action. After two months my children are working at grade level and are doing well. Sure, there is lots of homework, lots of rules, but when you see your child succeeding, with a big smile on their face, it is SO worth it. This is a school that cares and is willing to do what it takes, but they cannot do it with out parent participation. Yes, it still has it's bullies, t takes every offense seriously. Every child matters, even the bully. If you want a school as a partner in your child academic and social successes, this is one to consider."

"I can't begin to tell you how happy and excited my daughter who attends Kindergarten at FAS is every day when I pick her up. She can hardly wait to tell me about her day, and the enthusiasm she exudes melts my heart. She attended the same preschool for almost 3 years and this last year was really tough for her. She's very head strong and clashed with one of her pre-k teachers. Thankfully she got along well with the other one and they formed a strong bond. I think they labeled her as the "naughty one" - so she often came home and when I would ask about her day, she would only tell me if she was "a lot naughty", or just a "little naughty" never anything postitive. So this positive energy that she gets from her teacher, her new class, and the rest of the Freedom staff is like a breath of fresh air. She is like a different person, and I just wanted to say thank you!!"

"Freedom Academy ROCKS! I currently have 2 kids at Freedom and 1 that just graduated this past year. This will be our 9th year at Freedom and our family has been so happy there. The Principal takes the time to know each and every student and truly cares for them and the rest of the staff is just amazing. It really is a caring family and I'm so happy to be a part of it. Thank you Freedom Academy for all of the wonderful years that we have had with you and all of the great years to come!"
