My kids attend Sonoran Sky self contained program. We LOVE it. If your child has the numbers to get into the self-contained program at Sonoran Sky, do whatever it takes to get in (check with Dina Brulles, head of the PVUSD gifted department, to see). Class size is small, teachers are amazing, and what a luxury to be surrounded by kids who are at the same level intellectually. And if you're a reasonably bright parent, what a luxury to find similar parents!!! It's truly a private school experience. If you can't get into the self-contained program, Sonoran Sky has a pullout program, which is pretty good, too. If there is no room at Sonoran Sky and/or your child's scores don't qualify him/her, find a private school or another state. The schools in Scottsdale and Phoenix are generally terrible. From both personal experience and rumor, the other Paradise Valley schools are worse than you could imagine.
