Not a loving and caring school at all. Sadly they would prefer punishing kids over educating them. If your child has any learning disabilities they will not help. It’s sad that my kid has to move next year due to the lack of teachers who want to actually educate and the harsh asst principal.

I go to school at DM and my teachers are caring, intelligent, and thoughtful. I had one really bad biology teacher last year but otherwise I have been happy. I think it’s sad the parents that come on here to vent. Sometimes it’s the students fall not the teacher or the schools. If you don’t do your homework, I don’t see how you can succeed. If you don’t study for your test I don’t see why you’re surprised that you don’t get a passing grade. If you’re not involved in sports or clubs yes the school can be overwhelming but if you really try you can make the DMHS experience a good one.

Desert Canyon Elementary is a great public school! It meets the diverse needs of my three students. I have had very positive interactions with the administration and special education staff. All of my students' teachers have been kind, supportive and have approached the occasional issues that have arisen with a problem solving lens. All three are pushed in developmentally appropriate ways and all three come home happy at the end of the day. There are lots of extra curricular sports and activities; parents are very involved here. The school promotes ROAR behaviors, which stands for Respect, Outstanding Character, Appreciation and Responsibility. The staff, students and broader school community exemplify these every day.
