ASU Preparatory Academy-Polytechnic Elementary is a tuition-free public charter school located in Mesa, Arizona. The school is comprised of around 500 students attending kindergarten through fourth grade. The Academy first opened in 2008 on the ASU Polytechnic college campus.
Students attending the elementary school are exposed at an early stage to a STEM-based curriculum. Similar to the older students attending the middle school and high school, the elementary school makes group work a focal point in their curriculum. The students spend time at the end of each day working on a project in teams.
The Elementary school also focuses largely on problem-solving and critical thinking. Students are given real-world problems and are asked to explore what they believe the solutions could be. They are encouraged to think creatively while trying to understand the issues at hand. The school believes that exposure to these skills early in childhood will help develop a strong group of scholars in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

We absolutely love the school, how it teaches and how they focus on group work, I love the individualized learning approach, and how strict they are about who's on their campus. I love that they're teaching students how to think like engineers and we love that there's a specials class every day. The principal is responsive and easy to talk to. In the future, I would like to see, added security and a parking lot that's not shared with the college campus and/or more parking options.

The school is tiny and there are too many students for the size of the campus. Clubs and sports are practically nonexistent. The cafeteria is a tiny room and the school lunches catered in are not appetizing. Administration does not support the staff and because it's a charter school you have teacher...

There isn’t a gym at this school. The kids have PE in a classroom with an open wall into the STEM class. It’s so chaotic. The younger grades are connected too. No one can learn in such a loud environment. There isn’t a cafeteria either. My older kids eat lunch in the hallway. The poor teachers have...
