Desert Palms Elementary School

Sunset has been a wonderful school for my daughter! She has learned so much and grown! When we moved to Arizona she went to Surprise Elementary and it wasn’t the best experience. Huge shout out to all the teachers so many I appreciate I couldn’t even begin to say. But I will say EVERY SINGLE person that works and takes care of our kids there are the top tier of choices. Natalia is the front office goes above and beyond for the kids and parents. Thank you for everything you’re all amazing! Thank you!

Tumbleweed is a great school with a very supportive community feel. My first child started there in 2014, and I still have two kids at Tumbleweed. Throughout our time at tumbleweed it’s been an inclusive and positive experience. My kids have all had some really amazing teachers and friends at Tumbleweed over the years. There’s a great project potential program that my oldest enjoyed. There’s also an informative and supportive team in place for my younger children who require an IEP and 504 plan. Those things can be daunting and the school staff has made it easier to navigate and has always been very supportive and understanding of each of my childrens’ unique needs.

Many years ago, on my son's first day of kindergarten, he was riding the school bus home from Marshall Ranch when an older kid beat him up on the bus, and the bus driver just laughed. We went back to the school which told us they would not discipline the driver for not stopping the beatdown, because "bus drivers are hard to find". I will never forget or forgive Marshall Ranch, ever.

This school will have your child signing contacts without parents consent and won’t tell parents until after the fact. I had to take my children out of this school and get a variance to put them into school elsewhere. I do not recommend this school. If I could give ZERO stars I would.
