Throughout my 4 years in this year i have seen the school develop. For instance my freshman year there was a lot of fights and threats but ever since there's been less fights and threats. So i feel like it's a lot safer now. The resources are more than enough for a student.

Desert Mirage has been an overall good experience. Staff members are always willing to help. While we had had issues with security, there's always security workers walking around the campus to do their best to keep us safe.
