High Desert Middle School

My children have attended this school since prekindergarten. Recently, one of them developed behavioral issues that came to a head at the end of the year. While the school seemed adept at managing day-to-day activities, they struggled with handling behavioral problems. As a result, my children were dismissed abruptly, seemingly without consideration for their needs. The school was accommodating as long as we complied with their expectations, but once we sought outside help, they refused to allow my children to return. Whether this is retaliation remains uncertain. I plan to appeal their decision and take this matter to the state. Additionally, I will be enrolling my children in a different school with genuine reviews from parents rather than staff. This school lacks a solid plan for addressing behavioral issues and appears to have no future strategy other than exclusion.

It was my first two years of teaching, and it was definitely a family experience. Sister Leonie was the principal, and was quite special.
