Going to Sahuaro wasn't the worst school I could've gone to in Tucson, but it was by far not the best. There were many issues from my time at this school, including the district putting us on a bus that was 105 degrees inside with no AC for an hour. The teachers are nice, the students are okay, but the district is a disaster.

Sahuaro is a school for the average person and if you want to go to college can prepare you for that as long as you put in the effort.

An average school that doesn't particularly stand out in any areas, but overall it's not a bad school.

So far so good. We transferred in from Cienega in Vail due to distance and so far I've been very happy with all the positive changes. Smaller class sizes, attentive teachers, etc. Don't be afraid to give Sahuaro a go, it surprised us.

This school has made it clear that they don’t care about their students. My child is bullied very badly by both students and teachers. When the issue is brought up with the school, they make excuses and nothing is ever resolved. It’s a shame because my daughter used to love school and now fights me...

School does not provide students with text books or access to online material to study subjects. Tells parents the students have to rely on notes taken during class!! FAIL!
