My experience was average, but I can say the best part of this school was the Jted Programs they had, and the worst part had to be the physics class that EVERY student struggled with.

Desert view is a good school with lots of cool people. I think they need to upgrade the drinks for lunch and add new things to the menu

For the most part,...

3.0 student

4/20/2016

But overall, the school needs much much improvement with staff being more respectful (specifically office staff) to students...
