The Blended Learning Program at DWMS is the best! My child is receiving a wonderful education, not just teaching to the test. The 2 teachers that started Blended Learning over there are terrific and innovative in their teaching style. The whole school is safe and secure and the teachers in general really care about the students and love their job.

My student attends Desert Wind and I found that the group work and participation in 20+1 made a big difference. The new Principal is making good changes. The teachers communicate a lot. But I went to Conferences and not a lot of parents came, I thought there would be more?

We are new to the community. Our kids come from TOP schools in the country. They have always been in honor roll (A+). I was hesitant to send them to the schools in Maricopa, but so far it has been good. Teachers listen and react in a timely manner to our concerns. The material covered until this point has not been challenging for my kids so we are still waiting for more material to come to them. The school has great potential and I cannot wait for my kids to contribute to the goals of the school to make it the best in the district. Parents do need to get involved in order to make this happen. Support the teacher and the school goals.

I think the school has potential to be a great school, but the classes were huge, organization is lacking, you cant reach the staff except the health office.
