The school is the worst school ever. My daughter used to love school now it’s nothing but a fight she scream cry’s. Can’t even walk my daughter up to school. First the start way too early. They shouldn’t be starting school till 8:30. They only go 4 days a week, so the schools don’t even go by the law if 171 contact days. The student pick up drop off is a complete joke. The whole district as a whole is a joke. Worst school districts in the whole state of Colorado.

I have two daughters who have attended and will continue to attend Desert Sage for their elementary years. There are numerous teachers who have been at this school for 10+ years which says a lot for staffing and morale. All the teachers show a great deal of care in academics but also the well- being of each student. Principal Hyatt prioritizes safety for staff and students daily. Your son/ daughter will show academic growth at this school. Highly recommend!

I would urge parents to carefully consider this school before enrolling. While there are caring teachers and a supportive community, there are serious concerns regarding how leadership handles student safety and behavioral issues.Based on our experience, there was a lack of consistent action and accountability when addressing bullying. A safe and responsive environment is essential for students, and that expectation was not met.Families should ask detailed questions about how concerns are handled and what follow-through they can expect. We ultimately chose a different school due to these ongoing issues.

My kid has been in Prairie Winds elementary since 3rd grade. Excellent teachers, a lot of support and help for kids. We are very pleased.
