High Desert Middle School

It is impossible to receive any information on my son. We have tried contacting the teachers and have gotten nowhere. Recently the assistant principle notified us he may not pass. Why weren't contacted sooner? They say they want to work with the parents, but I have yet to see that. This school has been a disappointment! My children will not be returning next year!! Not to mention all of the daily fight's, frequent drug searches. These kids deserve better than what they are getting.

This is a good school. The administration supports their teachers and cares about the students. There is a lack of support however on the parent side which is typical these days in most schools. The teachers are organized, caring, and focused on teaching well at HDMS. If parents would try to be accountable and get on the same page as teachers and administration, the result would be amazing and schools would have a great poduct.

I really like this school district it has really improved the past couple of years.The teacher that puts a lot of effort into the school is mrs. Noriega all the kids love her.She really loves her students too.And she cares about them too.Big thanks out to mrs. Noriega.

I have seen some huge changes over the past couple of years. This school has a bad reputation, but is actually a very good, strong school, with administration and teachers.

I was very disappointed with this school. The lack of teacher effort towards students learning was unreal.

This is a horrible school! I removed all my children from this district after experiencing their not protecting our kids.

My child's sixth grade teacher is dedicated to her students. His reading and math skills greatly improved this year.
