It is with great pleasure and gratitude that I write this review for Desert Meadows Elem. Everytime I drop my children off at school, Mr. Preis and Ms. Zembruski are always visible - before and after school. It makes me feel like my children are looked after, and they feel safe. My son loves Mr. Preis. He told me that he wants to be a principal when he grows up, 'Just like Mr. Preis, Mommy!' Continuing on; The school focuses on good behavior and delves out strong consequences for poor behavior if need be. Fortunately, we've not had to deal with consequences. We have had several good things come home with our children. I am a strong believer in complementing and encouraging children at young ages so that they will grow up to be learners as well as good people, just like Mr. Preis and Ms. Zembruski.

This is a great school. I love the way the teachers and school staff communicate with the students and parents. Mr. Pries is always around speaking with the kids.

I continue to be impressed by this school. We have been here since it opened and this year is the best yet. Most of the teachers are back and the office staff has really improved since the secretary left last year. I am also happy that it is a Performing Plus school for the second straight year.
Ny child attended this school for her last half of her 8th grade year and she didnt like it at all. The teachers couldnt control the class and there are many bullies. They were very disorganized and they dont really do fun activities in class. She would tell me that teachers would see students doing or saying things they shouldnt and would act as if they didnt hear it. Students were just very rude and mean and teachers would do little about it. She didnt like going to school at all here and wouldnt want to go to a place like this. It was very hard to enroll her in this school from the start and staff didnt help. I wouldnt recommend this school for anyone.
