Sadly the school and this district doesn't want to their job and following kids who have IEP's. They would rather push parenting into settling for what the school has in place now and not the correct support and help and what works for the kids on their IEP's. Telling parents they don't have services and supports. When they do and if not they have to find them. Each kid is different doesn't mean they should be shoved to the side and forgot about because it takes a little more work to teach them. This is the next generation we should treat it with the best. Parents here in Kingman need to be more involved with their kids education rather than thinking their kids are a burden.

My grandson attended Desert Willow in a special needs class. It was recommended that this was not the appropriate class for him. The class was violent, chaotic with students undressing, cussing, breaking school property, hitting the teacher and each other. After four months my grandson has adopted some of the same behavior. I don't see the school attend to all the students needs. The school is understaffed with underpaid employees. I would not recommend this school for any of it's classes.

As a graduate from this school, I always held hope. However, that hope was always diminished once the school practiced something wildly bizarre. I go by a preferred name, and for all four years of going to this school— not once did they respect that until I made an uproar after being publicly deadnamed in front of an audience numerous times. As a senior I made the choice to go to Northern Arizona University and the school never sent my official high school transcript to my university. I had to obtain an official copy myself and give it to my university since I had already moved away for college. This school is incredibly careless and despicable. I could count on one hand the teachers who actually made a difference in their students days, and those teachers realized their worth and left the school. The school segregates “Cambridge/AS” students and “general education” students, allows and encourages students who are in advanced classes to look down on the general education students as if they’re scum. There is typically no bullying or anything of the sort, however this school still has yet to catch up and has no regard whatsoever towards individuals in the LGBTQ+ community.
