My experience at sonoran science academy was horrible. The teachers don’t teach and system doesn’t work. My test results are worst than when I went in.

Sonoran Science Academy has a beautiful campus with an open courtyard where students tend to the flowers and vegetables they plant around the trees. The teachers and students also painted colorful maps of the United States and the World on the courtyard. In addition to the playscape in the courtyard...

I have been involved with this school for 5 years now and it always amazes me. The families are so supportive and happy here. They help each other out and are always willing to step in and help another family. Students are kind and caring to each other and the teachers love the work they do.
