The best things about this school is that you get a college education for free, which is better quality education that I've seen. It has many resources in facilities and classes, but you will have to get permission by multiple layers of administration which, I would consider, the worst part of this school. Overall it has such a welcoming community, academically enriching, and safe.

What I like about Phoenix College is their welcoming, safe and diverse environment. Every time I step foot on campus I don't feel scared or nervous about going to class or being around anyone. I also really like how every one is treated equally and everyone is giving the same education and opportunities regardless of their religion, race or color. Throughout my two years at this college I have had amazing professors who are helpful, respectful, understanding and supportive. All these factors have guided me into a successful path where I know I can accomplish all of my academic goals. The only thing I would change about Phoenix College would be their engagment in sports and clubs. There is a lack of excitement and motivation in this area that I feel like it is important for students to feel even more motivated to go to school or to be proud of the college they are attending.

The school may have been (somewhat) what the comments with low stars say, but it really has turned around in the 4 years that I went there (2009-2013). The teachers are great if you have any problem, be it personal or school related they will help you if it will make you a better person/student. The...

I am the new principal at Phoenix College Preparatory Academy and I'm sad to say that these comments were probably accurate in the past. I can assure you that things have changed and will continue to change. We are a college prep high school and I expect our students to be serious about school and t...

I was very happy with the teaching staff, they are true teachers and care about the education of the students. On the other hand the office and principle are completely ridiculous. I have never seen a school run by such an ineffectual management staff. My child can go to the office on a whim, there...
