Desert Canyon Elementary School

Unless you’re paying out of pocket for your education, I really don’t think you’re going to get much better. I have 2 daughters (a 3^rd grader and a 6^th grader). My oldest attended school here, and my youngest is currently attending — and I couldn’t be happier.
The campus is clean, and feature-​rich (computers in every classroom, a modern library, an aquatic center, lots of outdoor shade provided, lots of new play equipment, and beautifully maintained playing fields).
The teachers are very friendly and competent.
The curriculum stresses discipline without being harsh. It stresses ethics and morality without being overly spiritual.
They have an active PTO organization. (Which is continually adding more nice features to the school — like the shade panels).
They have amazing parent participation. In fact, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen so many parents get out of the car and walk their kids to the playground in the morning. (It’s the little things, isn’t it?).
They have a great musical education program that includes violin, chorus, and cello.
They contract with a company to have a web-​based system to pay for your kids school lunch.
They cover (but don’t over-​emphasize) things like sexual education, politics, and religion.
All-​in-​all, it’s a great school.
