Desert Heights Elementary School

The office staff are extremely pleasant, they get to know you as a parent and can recognize your voice and name and recall your child's name just from those experiences. They are very sweet women to deal with as is the principal. The special ed department is one of the best I've ever encountered. More specifically Mrs. Metzger. She is an amazing teacher and human being. She is a true asset to that school. She helped my severely autistic son become not only communicative through sign language but she helped him learn to speak. He is now able to identify all of his letters, colors, shapes, numbers to 100 and knows tons of songs and nursery rhymes, he engages in imaginative play and socializes with children his age and size. All of this in approximately 7 months time. From non verbal and multiple meltdowns to the wonderful little smart boy he is today. I We as a family feel forever indebted to her. The environment in her classroom is full of fun and energy but still structured enough to help a special needs child thrive to the fullest. She and her aid, Ms. Heather are phenomenal people and I am very grateful to have had them in my life. Even after we moved and our son encountered problems with his new classroom Mrs. Metzger went above and beyond the duties of any teacher, let alone a former teacher, to ensure I had every opportunity afforded to me to make sure my child was put into a new school better suited and more safe for my son. I honestly can't thank them enough for everything. We'll always hold a special place in our hearts for her and the whole school. Bravo for setting such an excellent example of what a school should be like.

I love this school i went here but i had to move to Tennessee but i love it here than any other school And my name is Hailey.m

I love it it the best but too much bullies

when i went there it wasn't good enough for me because they didn't help me when I was being bullied and blamed the bullying on me. i omly give this school 2 stars because they did nothing when i was bullied.

It's a good school
