Terrible school. Administration could care less about the students. They were able to buy several flat screen televisions for the "hard working" office people and a personal TV for Dr. Battle, but couldn't afford paper or enough textbooks for the students. As a student, I can say Desert Vista is overrated. The administration is by far the worst aspect of it. It really has no idea what it is doing. They fund football and numerous other athletics generously while leaving little for academics.
In addition, talking with the student activities coordinators is like talking to rocks. They don't respond to emails and aren't even in their offices most of the time. They also take 5 hour "lunch breaks," which apparently makes them "way too busy" to even sit in their offices. As far as academics, things aren't looking much better. Most of the textbooks used in classes are outdated, and in many cases several editions outdated. The teaching quality is horrible, as the vast majority of teachers don't know what they are talking about.
Only a handful of teachers are dedicated, and those teach rigorous courses. The good scores and success that comes out of the school is purely based on the students' personal drive and motivation with the exception of very few passionate educators.
The school is also filled with a lot of rich, snobby kids who don't take school seriously at all. The only thing they do is cuss and talk about sex. There are also tons of cliques, segregated groups, etc. Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Desert Vista High School. Special Note: Most teacher's job postings will come earlier next year, so please check back for teacher openings around February 1, !
