Sonoran Science Academy - East

The SSA seems like it was a decent place about 10 years ago, and has been going down hill ever since. They have a huge trophy area near the front, but check those dates on the placards. I'm willing to bet its when the school transitioned to its new high school principle Mr Doyuran and his friend, the academic adviser, Mr Yilmaz. All my children go here. I can say the elementary school is great, and Mr Dogan sincerely cares about the students, but the high school is dismal. Mr Doyuran and Mr Yilmaz have no business being in their positions. I don't believe they understand their roles nor do they care. How they got there and what they do is beyond me. They don't care about the students nor their academics. Talking to either one of them about a students academics will get you nowhere. The prior review does not surprise me at all. The majority of the teachers are great, I really like them. However, they have seriously bad leadership. Mr Doyuran and Mr Yilmaz are successfully sinking that school and its glorious past. If you have a choice of schools, do not pick this one.

This school is the absolute worst. Would never recommend to anyone. Minimal care for the students. My child was left behind 3 times when they were supposed to be taken to aftercare. When attempting to address any issue you never get a response and when you go in person they act like they don't know what you're talking about.

If I could choose no stars, I would... There's about 20-30 students to a teacher, a mice problem the principal laughs off, mold issues (probably due to the garbage that collects inside until you can no longer walk past it in the hall), and their physical education is basically letting the kids run around in the parking lot. This place needs to be shut down, and I will forever feel extreme guilt for exposing my child to this trauma.
