Misterallgod...the high school is Desert Ridge High School. That is where the news crews were stationed today after school.
The public elementary school serving the neighborhood is Boulder Creek Elementary, however, many elementary-age kids around here are enrolled in a charter school instead of the public school system. I have heard that outside Arizona, many charter schools are geared towards the student population who are having difficulty in the normal school setting-but that is NOT the case in Arizona. There is a charter school a mile down the road from the victims homes called Noah Webster School, and it has a population of 1,200 students. The students are taught at an accelerated rate and the cirriculum is more advanced than what they teach in the public schools. There's more accountability and teachers are paid much better than the public schools. It is entirely possible that the young 10 year old victim attended Noah Webster, since it has such a good reputation and is so close.
This is so sad. Why any adult would do this to an innocent child is beyond me.
