School Reviews

Words can't express how happy we are with Mid-City Prescott school. Our twins joined in 4th grade, and we were apprehensive about switching schools at a later point in elementary school then it was the year of distance learning, so we didn't get the full flavor of the school till this year (in 5th) grade. Dr. Manueal and Ms. Larry are some of the most dedicated teachers that we have ever encountered. From admin down to support staff at school we have found such devotion, an above-and-beyond attitude that has helped our boys not only transition well but has helped them to thrive. The school is both academically on top of things and helps support the students with a social-emotional attitude which is so important. We definitely give the school 5 out of 5 schools and we are so happy to be part of the Mid-City Prescott school!
