I Love Desert Garden School.... I have 3 children and 2 have gone through K-6 grade there and 1 is still attending this school . The teachers and staff are great, friendly,helpfull. We couldn't ask for a better principal, she is the best . Very approachable and helpful she knows all her kids by name and most of us parents too.. Also being an alumni myself I feel good knowing my child is safe and likes going to school.
