My granddaughters both attend this school. I have visited their classrooms and I am so impressed with their educational standards. I am a retired OK teacher.

As a new school community, DC had some bugs to work out when they moved to the new campus. Over the last three years, I have seen the students, teachers, administration, and parents come together to really build a community for our school. There is increased involvement at every level. I believe much of the transition has benefited the school. Dr. Osterle is out on campus and connecting with the students. There is more parent participation in school events and fundraisers. The level of involvement from the student volunteers and NJHS has increased. There's an overall elevated pride in the school. With the exception of one teacher, we have loved the classroom environment that our children have been a part of. It has been enriching and challenging and fun.

This is my child s third year at Diamond Canyon. During this time we have had 5 different teachers! Diamond Canyon consistently looses valuable and experienced teachers and staff, and replaces them with individuals with little experience, with role models that are being pulled in every direction. I have been told many times by teachers, the principle and other staff that my child s success and happiness in this school is their highest priority. However, they have consistently dropped the ball. They are stretched too thin, and lack the experience or background to handle most everyday situations let alone have the knowledge and forethought to handle anything more complex. I have also been told many times by several different parents that if your child has any type of need, either advanced classes or learning disabilities, this school falls horribly short. Many of them have pulled their children out of this school and have moved them to other schools and even other school districts.

My two children have attended Diamond Canyon for four years and every one of their teachers has been excellent. Each one has cared about making sure my child excells. The new principal has been a great asset to the school and made many improvements.
