This is our first year at Desert Garden. We have a total of 7 children and just put number 7 into kinder garden. Trust me when I say that Desert Garden is one of the nicest elementary schools our children have ever gone to, and is teacher is just fantastic. All the staff that I have met so far have made us feel that every child is important and will be well looked after while attending Desert Garden. I wish more schools where like this. Also my 5 yr old is coming home every day singing a new song or counting to 100 or reading a book and its only 2 weeks into the school yr. So way to go teacher.

It is no surprise to me to see that this scholl has been given a 3 out of ten. I had many problems with a teacher in particular that was most definitely singling my child out and making inappropriate comments about our family dynamic to him. When bringing these issues to the attention of both the Principal and Vice Principal it was shoved under the rug and "I can't believe she would do or say that" was all I ever heard. Let that aside more than once ( in fact it was ongoing throughout the year) we would get notes home from the cafeteria saying my child owed them money. When asking my child why he was getting school lunch since I was providing him with a lunch he would tell me he hadn't. When we went in to question the amount due they would say "It is really confusing that was a mistake." this was only after we had paid whatever balance they gave us several times. Overall I am extremely displeased with this school and hope that maybe this message will warn anyone else sending their child their. Schools are supposed to teach your children skills they will need for the rest of their life... organization, work quality, progression... these all seem lost on them.

Ms. McIntyre is the best kindergarten teacher!!!She keeps the students engaged, learning and happy! I would recommend her to anyone.
