Shout out to Desert palms elementary for for hiring the most inconsiderate, petty, and high strung staff ever. There will always be teachers with passion for teaching their students and administration that wants to help children, however these are a minority at desert palms.

My children have been at this school since starting, with the exception of 3 quarters. My oldest will be in 5th grade, my youngest in 3rd. I have never had any problems with administration addressing my children's needs and concernts.
