This School’s Reviews

5.0 Senior

11/18/2025

I like how it is a small school where everyone knows everyone. It is a Godly environment, and I like the events that are planned. I do not like how we do not have a cafeteria and I would like my school to provide lunch.

The school has been a great experience to get me ready for college in a Christian environment. I appreciate learning from a biblical world view and that I can take dual credit classes to get ahead in college.

A lot of the teachers at desert Christian care very much about your future and try to help the best they can, I wish we had a bit more freedom at our high school. I like that the teachers try to help a lot.

The staff is extremely biased with their own children compared to the families that pay to attend. Staff children cause numerous problems and bully and harass other students but the children that get in trouble are the ones that try to defend themselves. The elementary principal is pretty and stuck...

Putting my son into this school after a few years of the negative environment of the public schools in the A.V. was the best thing that has ever happened to him. I wish we would have put him in DCS sooner.

Our children have been involved with this school for over 10 years and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe, loving and Bible-based school for any child - pre-school through high school. The staff is excellent, the tuition is reasonable and the educational opportunities are outs...

All three of my children attended DCS and graduated from DCHS, I highly recommend this school! They prepared my children for college and beyond. The staff is loving and there is a family atmosphere on campus as well as rigorous courses to prepare students for higher education.
