As a teacher at Desert Canyon Elementary since 2019, I am so proud of our school! With over 600 years of combined teaching experience,our educators ensure high-quality education for every student. Our staff works tirelessly to support students, families, and each other. Our engaged families and PTO take such good care of our staff and make us feel special. Our students show R.O.A.R. (Respect, Outstanding Character, Appreciate Others, Responsibility) everyday. We are an "A" rated school and became an "A+ School of Excellence" starting in 2024. We are rated one of the top two schools in Arizona. Families can choose between the Dual Language Mandarin program or traditional English classes. DCES offers a Gifted Program, fine arts, robotics, a school counselor with a therapy dog, and an engaging garden program. We have two early learning classrooms: Preschool for three-year-olds and PreK for four-year-olds. Our Early Learning Classrooms have a Quality First Five Star Rating, which is the Highest Quality ranking from First Things First.
