I've had one child go to this school and another currently enrolled. It's a large school and crowded. That will be helped when the new middle school is built. Administration is caring and quick to respond to concerns in my experience. Too many parents go off at staff. Not a good example of respect for their kids. Safety is an issue because of large student population. Parents also ignore safety when dropping off their kids. I understand there will be a crossing guard this year. Good. It's needed.
Excellent teachers who care - my only concern is safety, as I do not believe the school has a handle on it.
Desert Springs Middle School is a very large school that serves a very challenging community. Many of the problems the school faces are community problems that spill over on to the campus, not school problems spilling over into the community. Administration openly welcomes any parent to come in and discuss their concerns in a calm and respectful manner. DSMS has the highest suspension and expulsion rates in the district, because they are strict on discipline. When parents tell the school, 'I teach my kid to fight!', that poses a serious problem. DSMS is doing the best it can.
