Desert Academy

This school likes to shine students on into thinking they are the greatest. The problem with this is, the students (including mine) have no idea that the real world is actually academically challenging. My student has the highest grades in all classes, but hasn't learned much, almost never has homework and is only used to a low number of students in the grade. The school is more focused on trips to be paid for (and that's time not in school) than schoolwork. Recently, my child took a state test and did horribly in the subject, though the classroom grade at Desert is an "A". This has happened with all classes, but one. The principal isn't very good. l If you want to pay money to shine your child on and not have a true education that will prepare for the real world and college, go to Desert in Santa Fe.

I think Desert Academy is a good school. But i don't like the fact that you have to pay just to do a sport.

The faculty & staff at Desert is amazing! I'm confident that my child is getting a top notch education, and is constantly inspired in his classes. He is actually excited to go to school & comes home & talks forever about the exciting things he's learning. Couldn't recommend it more highly!

A fantastic alternative to the other public and private schools in Santa Fe for students that want to follow their passion.
