Luther L. Wright K-12 School, while having a decent educational value, is socially very difficult to exist in. There is a lot of bigotry among both the student body and the staff, and it is often left unaddressed by administration.

I have been going to this school and been a IRONWOOD RED DEVIL since I was in third grade. I have always got good grades and enjoyed this school. The teachers were always kind and were always available to help with any homework. I am not sure that I would change anything about this school. I have always had good experiences. I love this school the way it is!

Very pleased with my child's education. I have a child that has graduated and gone on to have a very successful career and another child still in school. The teachers are very supportive of the children, diversity, and discipline.

Overall it has been a great experience. I think that parents being a part of their childs education is just as important as the teachers. So if you're involved then your child will do great wherever they go to school.

I always feel very welcome going into the school. Schools are a busy place, but it seems like the staff will do their best to make time for you.
