I have been here since 2020 which was Covid year so I did not receive the freshman experience. However, my sophomore year was a great year especially considering I had friends who were upper class men who helped me get around class. Overall I love the campus and I wouldn't change it

I really like this school, it has really great teachers that care about their students. They try and do everything they can to see us be successful and so far it's worked. These past 4 years I've learned so much but also had fun. The pep rally's are really fun and productive. The one thing I would like to see change is the food for sure.

Desert Mirage is definitely not the worst school but not the best. There's not many classes to choose as electives, the safety sucks and the restroom are either dirty or smell like weed. For good things I'd say we have a variety of sports and clubs, there is resources available for us counselors, tutoring, etc.
