I have three children at the school. We have been here for the past 6 years. The staff and administration are second to none. We recommend Desert Springs Prep to all our friends.

Our son is finishing up his first year (Kindergarten) at Desert Springs. We live in the PV district, but Desert Springs isn’t our “home” school. In deciding where to send our son for school, not only did we chose Desert Springs over several other elementary schools in the district, but also over a highly-regarded charter school that our son was admitted to (Great Hearts – North Phoenix Preparatory Academy). A year later, we feel that we made the right choice in Desert Springs. The school community is very welcoming –partly due partly to the school’s size (it’s one of the smaller elementary schools in the PV district) and to the several family events that the school’s PTA organizes (movie / silent auction night in October, spring carnival, bingo night). The principal and staff are very accessible, responsive, and professional. Our son is in a general education classroom, but receives speech and occupational therapy services at the school. Both speech and OT have been excellent and have helped him tremendously. Outside professionals on our son’s therapy “team” have commented on the quality of his IEP. The Core Knowledge curriculum is excellent without being excessively demanding. It’s made learning fun and interesting for our son. In summary, I would highly recommend Desert Springs.
