“My son has been attending Harney since Kindergarten. Yes, he has been involved in a couple physical and verbal incidents and each was addressed by faculty and dealt with up to my standards, including contacting their parents. My son is in 5th grade this year and he LOVES Harney! He has made long lasting friends, played in championship basketball and he has learned SO much from Harney. I believe his teachers over the years have had alot to do with that. I give them 5 stars! My daughter attended kindergarten last year and she absolutely LOVES school. Mrs. Goforth (who also taught my son in kinder) and her teaching skills, plus classroom activities, made her first year of school the BEST! Thank you. Her first week of kinder, she was put on the wrong bus. While it frustrated me to get a phone call at work and having to leave to pick her up, I understand mistakes happen. We are all human and nobody is perfect. My daughter has just started first grade and amazes me at all she has already learned, her writing skills and her reading is awesome! Harney has curriculum nights, PTO meetings, etc for anyone to attend to voice their opinions and/or address any issues you feel need to be addressed. While reading these reviews, I felt obligated to voice my opinion. Kids will be kids. You can't blame the school or all of the faculty for bullying or harassing students. Some teachers are not as good as others, some don't have as much patience, and maybe they should find another career. But my experience and both my kids experiences are great. I have always got calls back if I leave messages. My kids have always been well cared for. For the incidents that did happen, I was notified immediately and/or when I called, I was listened to and appropriate actions were taken. I get great feedback at conferences. While no school is perfect, for Harney, I have no complaints. I think Harney is wonderful :)”

“I love this gym! I have gone to many gyms and clubs searching for the right one. And I finally found it! At tectonic fitness I feel included while getting a great work out. The coaches are knowledgeable and encouraging. The foundations classes helped me to build my skills so I felt more comfortable doing the workouts. Everyone is so friendly! I love working out here! If you are looking for a good workout, to grow in your skills and a non-judge mental environment then this is the place!”

“Hmmmm. Firgrove...where do I start...i guess I'lll start with the farthest I have a seriously disabled child who has to be sedated at home on a regular basis. He started at Firgrove in First grade. He first went to Kindergarten at Harney Elementary, they told us they couldn't handle him after three weeks. In fact, the first day of school, they sent him home. He then attended Franklin Elementary School for a few months, he went into their special ed. program and then was "released" from that school a few months later. He didn't attend school for the rest of his Kindergarten year. We thought we were going to have to homeschool, and we really felt like the Vancouver School District had failed us. We put our son on the waiting list for the school and a few months into what would become his 1st grade year, they had a spot for him. Signing all the forms for Firgrove made us apprehensive when we understood that the school practiced "holds" on the children when they were being dangerous. I wasn't very keen on so"meone physically holding my child down. My wife and I decided to give them a chance.. The first thing we noticed with this school, is that they understand that they have students with sometimes violent and serious behavioral problems. They are very caring with our son and right away we found that they listened to how parenting our son at home worked. They quickly rewrote his IEP (individualized education plan) to include minor details, like allowing him small snacks, taking his shoes off, having a hiding place and so many little incremental changes they allowed us to change in his IEP that really allowed him to be successful. He is in 4th grade now. I can't really express how much I like his school. The staff listen; the staff are patient; the staff are professional. They see through the violence and cussing fits he has and love him for who he really is. I wish they had a playground, I wish that they weren't this secret little school for last chance kids like mine. I wish they got better funding and more well trained staff. My sons teacher is amazing but not formally trained. We have to sign waivers to allow his teacher to be his teacher because they have issues with finding qualified staff, probably because of their budget. I know that occasionally we provide the school with different things, like snacks for his classmates and a fan for him to stay cool because the teachers have to buy those things out of pocket. I wish all schools were better funded. I'm m glad this school is here. We don't know what we would do without them. And as far as the physical restraining goes, they don't use any mechanical restraints, it's all staff holding the student, and only when it's vital. Mostly, they patiently clear out the classroom and let the student calm down and then get back to business. My son through a chair through a big window once... Most schools would have expelled a student for that, Firgrove gave him suspension for a couple days and we tried again. Time and time again they show patience and understanding for my whole family. They provided us with emergency gift cards when I lost my housing and never judged out family. They aren't perfect, they have made some mistakes along my sons journey, but they always listen and take our concerns to heart. We owe them many thanks..”

“I am very satisfied with this school. Teachers are very focused in kids success in all areas and extra interests of the children. The student to teacher ratio is very good to excellent so the kids get more interaction with the quality of time with the school staff. There are lots of programs in this school and they have a big great fenced outdoor area for lots of outside activities for the kids in the school. Security and safety in the school and the neighborhood is better than most in East Mesa, AZ 85206-2900 zip code. Also, a must notable plus is that the School is very Close to the freeway for getting to work after dropping the kids off or letting them walk to and from school has to be mentioned as it is very close to the US 60 Freeway. The location is great safe area in and around the school and the neighborhood . Kids walking to and from school do not have to worry as much as other school locations as there are lots of kids walking and the parents and neighborhood seems to be very old school friendly and everyone looks out for each other and their children around this nice area people see to be out and about in the Parks, walking around, jogging, biking.”

“The teachers are absolutely amazing. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I took my soon here for the first time when he was 2.5 years old and I was nervous, they let me visit and pop into check on him. When he was sick they would call me to come get him and when I got there he was always being held and rocked by the staff when I came to get him. They are very patient and loving. Our family was very lucky to have found this group of amazing people.”

“I had children at Firecrest for two years. My older son had amazing teachers who targeted his needs. The other teachers I met while I was waiting to pick him up or walking by were so kind and friendly and obviously wanted to connect with their neighborhood families even beyond their own students. I also like the music teacher there. I do not love the principal not her leadership style (I was active in the PTA and got to know her through that lense). My younger son had a terrible time in kindergarten. So, everyone has their own experience, but I believe most of the teachers there are great and truly love the kids.”

“It's a decent place. If you're anywhere remotely bigger than the magical Average person (Which doesn't even exit) You'll die of starvation. The teachers are the best in the district, Administration is decent with some key exceptions, and as far as public schools go, it's the best you can get in this day and age. Just ignore the annual Respect assembly, do good on large assignments and you'll get good grades for sure.”

“My daughter attends VHC, and it's fantastic. I think a lot of people have this idea that a public school/homeschool program means more time off without needing to put in any work at home. There's a lot of work we parents need to do because this is a hybrid program. You can't treat VHC like a regular public school, and expect to see results without doing your part at home.”
