Desert Aire Elementary School helped me even when I moved in the middle of the year. I was caught up with subjects I was behind on, and the teachers are just great!!! (P.E., Subject teachers, Music teachers) I really wish I could have stayed longer but I enjoyed my time here. Good luck with present students or soon-to-be!!! (CRUSH THE STAAR)

Desertaire is an amazing school. The teaching is very well formatted and taught at a comfortable pace.Music classes ( band and orchestra ) are available for grades 5th and 6th. Sports are taught during P. E. At the end of each year trophies are given out for a honor roll. a-b honor roll, perfect attendane, 1st place in Science Fair , ect. The school building is clean and well kept, as well as the portables surrounding the building. Voulunteers are welcome, parents may come in and schedule an appointment to talk with their child's teacher, open houses are also held throughout the year. I give Desertaire an A+.
