Most of the students and teachers I've had throughout my life in Maricopa wells are bad, not friendly and mostly bullies. When I study there I got bully easily. Most of the students start fights. Their education always is low because the students are not good at their academics. The teachers I had there are horrible there not evenly very nice to me. When I got bullied they didn't do anything to suspend them, they would get always from them. The teacher treated me very badly and very mean.

I love the school! I am a student in 8th grade. I have been at maricopa wells for three years now. The only problem I have with it is that during lunch people love to cut you in line, and blast inapropriate music, and the schedule which changed from the years in the past. Other wise it's an amazing school. And if your child has anxiety about school put the child in 20+1. I have been in 20+1 since 6th grade. It helps a lot with anxiety. 20+1 is my home away from home. My family. I trust them, and we work together. It helps with the stress of school

Terrible school. Fights every day and students that are allowed to get away with bullying, disrespecting, and fighting. Classroom environments are chaotic which has takes away from those who WANT to learn. My daughter has anxiety every day at this school. Can't wait to take her out. Teachers do not communicate or answer emails (their preferred way to communicate)

I really like this school ! Ive been here for three years and have always enjoyed it. From our dances to our classes, its overall a fun school. Being that it is an outdoor campus it gives us a certain feel of freedom which is something all schools should have. And if a student is getting bad grades you cant blame it on the school , its all in then studnent . You cant help a studnet that doesnt want help right?Ultimately loooove this school. Come check it out :)
