The schools small population lets you get to know the other students well and also lets you get to know your teachers.

I'd like to start off by saying that San Tan Charter School has the best math teacher. His name is Mr. Hermann and I've had him for math every year since 7th grade. He's patient, kind, and is great at teaching math. Another good thing about San Tan is the community. It's easy to make friends there. Another good thing is that the teachers are lenient, but still give challenging work. One downside is the lack of communication between staff and students. I rarely ever hear about events until my friends tell me.

We currently homeschool and San Tan Charter high school was very welcoming in allowing our daughter to compete on their high school swim team.

I have three kids that go to this school and I could not be happier! I have one kid in the gifted program, one in the Montessori and one in preschool, it's nice to have all the different options! My kiddo loves gifted camp, and my other kiddo loves that he can do sports in 5th grade.
