For some time, my school has been great until I encountered difficult peers. About half of them were rude and unkind, yet some were nice. During 8th grade was an ideal period to make friends that shared similar interests. The teachers were pleasant and I felt respected since they enrolled me in ESS classes which kept me on the right path. The 21st Century after school programs further enhanced my ability to concentrate more on tasks at hand. All in all, in my opinion, this is a decent school - I am now a sophomore!

I attended this school for seventh grade and it was a great experience. Some students think it's a good school, but those who don't have many friends may say it's not so great. Nonetheless, there are classmates who will try to be friends with those who feel left out, even if they badmouth the school. I got along with everyone well; there was some drama at first, but then we all grew closer together. Academically speaking, you'll do fine as long as you pay attention and take notes. The teachers are incredibly patient and make learning enjoyable. The dances were also really fun! In the cafeteria you can sit outside or inside, though there are usually long lines for school lunch. It may seem confusing at first when exploring the hallways on your first day, but after about two weeks it becomes easier to navigate around campus. If you're planning on attending this school I suggest: 1) Pay attention and write down notes; 2) Try to stay away from any drama; 3) Do your best throughout the year; 4) Perform well if interested in sports; 5) Be nice to all students – that's about it!

It is stunning that staff and teachers do not take decisive measures concerning pupils who use ILLEGAL drugs. Furthermore, many of the teachers are incompetent in how to handle such a situation, yet they remain inactive when students engage in physical fights or drug abuse. Those who claim this school is fantastic must be oblivious; after all, what your child tells you may not always be accurate.

This upcoming school year (2017-2018) at Desert Wind Middle School brings an exciting change to their Blended Learning (20+1 program) with the increase of teachers from two to four, as well as a redesigned classroom environment that is both inviting and creative! It's sure to be an exceptional year - Go Tigers!!

The management at the place I frequent is excellent; it brings me a great deal of thrill!
