The schools small population lets you get to know the other students well and also lets you get to know your teachers.

I'd like to start off by saying that San Tan Charter School has the best math teacher. His name is Mr. Hermann and I've had him for math every year since 7th grade. He's patient, kind, and is great at teaching math. Another good thing about San Tan is the community. It's easy to make friends there. Another good thing is that the teachers are lenient, but still give challenging work. One downside is the lack of communication between staff and students. I rarely ever hear about events until my friends tell me.

We currently homeschool and San Tan Charter high school was very welcoming in allowing our daughter to compete on their high school swim team.

I was excited to send my kids to San Tan and to establish a good school for them after moving so much with military life. To say that I am disappointed is an understatement. When we began schooling there, I brought it all my children's school records showing that one of children is severely behind a...

I was so disappointed in this school. Athletics and academics are not strong, especially female sports. My daughter had to get a tutor and step out of the honors tract after receiving a B in honors Algebra 2, but not actually being taught the content. Although you pay more for sports than public sch...
