Desert View Elementary is a first-time recipient of the A+ School of Excellence Award as designated by the Arizona Educational Foundation! With hundreds of schools applying yearly for this prestigious designation, Desert View has achieved an incredible feat as it is one of 53 Arizona public schools to earn the A+ Award for the 2024-2025 academic year! The A+ Award is the highest state-level recognition given to a public school with recipients representing the best of the best in education across our state!

 

To earn the A+ Award, Desert View successfully completed an extensive evaluative process, which included an online written application and a multi-day site visit led by a team of A+ Award judges. Desert View demonstrated success in exceptional leadership, top-quality teaching, rigorous academics and strong community involvement. As a 2025 A+ Award recipient, Desert View will receive $500 and a banner to display on its campus! It will also retain the A+ designation from 2025 to 2029!

 

The A+ School of Excellence® Award program was established in 1983 as a method to identify, celebrate and recognize educational excellence in schools throughout Arizona. In addition to showcasing exceptional public schools, the A+ program provides school teams with an outstanding comprehensive framework that serves as a basis for school self-assessment and planning.

 

Congratulations to Desert View! The Â鶹Íø Family is so proud of the teachers, staff, students and families who made this accomplishment possible!
