We pulled our daughter from Great Hearts after she attended the school for almost 3 years as a result of a terrible experience we had with her teacher, other staff and students. I found Desert Cove after researching high and low for good schools in our area. What a night and day experience! We love
Posted by a parent on 6/2/2025Congrats to Desert Cove Elementary for earning an “A” rating from the Arizona State Board of Education for the 2021-2022 school year. Same rating as Mercury Mine Elementary. As a parent, I see the hard work the teachers, staff, and students are putting in and it is great to see it paying off.
Posted by a parent on 11/15/2022My children attended Desert Cove in their self contained gifted program. We love their program! not only is the program great, but the class size is generally smaller. My children learned effectively but also created stronger bonds with teachers and the students in their class, and grew tremendously
Posted by a parent on 8/25/2022Both of my kids have attended Desert Cove since kindergarten in the gifted program. There teachers are wonderful, and the staff is supportive. We have had no issues with bullying, as the school maintains a zero tolerance bullying policy. One year there was a teacher we didn't like, but she transferr
Posted by a parent on 4/1/2018After being part of the community for several years we are horrified by blatant disregard and involvement of school administration when it comes to bullying related incidents. What a disappointment! On the surface it all looks well managed but there are some major issues

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSmall classes! Great community! No parent cliques. Everyone is extremely inclusive and it feels like an old school elementary experience. The students are not in a high pressure environment and still perform well academically due to the positive atmosphere. It’s a child-centric school, and you can feel the warmth the moment you walk on campus.Parent Review11mo ago - Community Montessori School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe transitioned our daughter to Community Montessori School from another Montessori program, and it has been the best decision for our family. While many schools use the 'Montessori' label as a marketing term, CMS remains deeply committed to the authentic practice. The difference in our daughter is remarkable: she used to come home irritable and overstimulated, but since joining CMS, she is noticeably calmer and more regulated. The teachers cultivate a truly intentional environment that supports both her academic growth and emotional well-being.Parent Review5mo ago - Paradise Valley Christian Prep
