Read what parents are saying about Desert Mesa Elementary SchoolMy son struggles in reading which is nothing we hadn't experienced before with another child with the same challenge. Although this time it was different. I found that he was not "himself" at school. The child that was being described to me was not the child I knew. Afterschool he would often seem withdrawn and it was always a struggle to get him to up for school...I thought it was because he wasn't a morning person. Something was wrong. I know the classroom is not for every child so I considered homeschooling to help him thrive, but a full-time job made that a difficult option. Then there was the light. The one that came from Desert Mesa School. We transferred him and over night he became to confident child. Eager to go to school and be on time. Fearless to put himself in front of crowds and showcase his abilities. I love Mrs. Baumgartner and her recognizing what my son needed, Mrs. Webb and her expertise in identifying his reading problems as well as putting this mom at ease, and Mrs. Garner for opening her classroom and bringing out the best in my son. I understand that every year may be different and reading may always be a challenge, but at Desert Mesa, my son felt wanted and there is no rating greater than that.
Posted by a parent on 8/4/2016Amazing. Absolutely love it. My daughter learns the importance of God and country by daily having a moment of silence and saying the pledge of allegiance.
Posted by a parent on 3/20/2015My son is in Ms Williams Kindergarten class. The BEST TEACHER I've ever met!!! She knows how to teach little kids while they are having fun! He loves his teacher and excited about going to school everyday!
Posted by a parent on 11/21/2013She went to preschool first here with Mr. Paul wonderful teacher. Then she went on to kinder what an EXCELLENT teacher, Mrs. Hernandez. My littel girl needed speech help and she got it. I would be so lucky to find another school like this. The principal knows each kid by name, what a wonderful lady.
Posted by a parent on 6/1/2013I was very concerned about my daughter having a tough teacher MALE, but because she was an EL learner we didn't have a choice. My daughter was upset a great deal at the beginning of the school year, I'm sure now, it was because she was being pushed out of her comfort zone, but by the end of the school year she ad grown so much from being an okay student to a great student and from being a child that just went to school to a child that brought her knowledge home to me. THANK YOU MR. CADE FOR BEING SO AWESOME!

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son just finished up 5th grade and his teacher was terrible. I had to find out an hour before grades were submitted that he had 24 missing assignments. Who let's an 11yr old who's been on honor roll his whole life to get behind that far without notifying the parents. I understand that the year was tough due to the pandemic and all but absolutely terrible communication. My son had multiple issues with the remote learning. Non of which was addressed to us. When I finally had a conference call with her she had an attitude with me. I told her that I feel like this year was a wash for him she laughed and said it's ok he's still going to 6th grade. Some if the assignments he turned in were blank due to confusion on the process of submitting it. She said I still gave him a 100%. Obviously there is an issue! I'm beside myself at how the teacher could care less about these kids.Other Review2y ago - Sunrise Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was disturbed that there are leaders in the position like the principal who do not have any leadership skills, people skills, and are afraid to change to adapting skills. The principal shows favoritism towards new teachers who want to succeed, and especially if you are not the same race. Issues that dealt with racism were brought to her attention and no action was taken other than retribution toward the person who brought the issues to light.Parent Review3y ago - Dorothy Hall Elementary
