    I was excited to enroll my son into Doral. We have always been part of CCSD, and was excited about the smaller class sizes. At first, things were great. The faculty seemed liked they cared and were helpful in getting my son situated with his 504. However, soon after I would receive call after call from them over rediculous claims. They said they didn't want him to walk to school anymore because he was walking home reckless and wanted me to drop my son off and pick him up everyday. -- sorry, we both work and we live .4 miles away from the school. Next, they told me they didn't want him to ride his electric bike to school anymore. Ok, I obliged. Back to walking. Next they claim he was video taping in the bathroom (with no proof- just he said she said) and suspend him. They want me to do a conference with them on any day but my day off. I work in health care. It is not easy to miss work or just leave patients unattended. At the very least, you would think they could squeeze me in SOMEWHERE, in my son's best interest. They can't squeeze me in anywhere.. or before or after my work shift. They said their next availability is TWO WEEKS from the current date. So my son was to stay home from school for 2 weeks .. because they can't accommodate me or my son any other time. Seems like they really care about his education. This school was the biggest mistake. If you child has any learning disabilities or ADHD, like my son, this IS NOT the school for you. Don't waste your time or your child's. They won't help you. They just keep them "in trouble" over petty things until you finally withdraw your child. Sincerely disappointed. Anyone want to buy our uniforms? If not, they will be turned into rags to clean our dog kennels.

    Good school if you are living around the area. I love the drive through pick up and drop off my niece is a student here she is 8 but she is excellent in Math and reading. I am not saying it's 100% school by itself but they encourage their students to read books and get them interested by reading the books in their class.

    Teachers are amazing here. Traffic has been a nightmare for years now but it's very much worth it

This situation of bullying is an ongoing situation && nothing seems to be resolving within the school principals, counselor, security, etc I'm a very concerned parent of a child that is being continued to being bully on your school campus With no follow ups or return of phone call/emails Investigations && follow ups are important && for days to pass with no communication is very disturbing My daughter has been attacked from behind 3 times in less than 2 months of school being in session && it seems the staff at Dessert Oasis HS has no control over their students Signing a no contact contract obviously means nothing to these kids && policies need to be taken differently It is ridiculous on how you talk to different principals && staff of the HS && they all have different ways of trying to solve or say to this situation I don't understand why? When a parent is dropping their child off to school for education && is getting texts && calls from their child that she wants to be picked up because she is being attacked, I feel the school apparently is unsafe && not doing their duty to have children in their hands What do you have to say? Bullying is very serious && it seems your school thinks otherwise!! To feel the need to have to pull my daughter from your school is unfair She may not be a 4.0 student but she's been attending her classes && tries to be in class doing her studies To have to worry about passing periods && break times not knowing if she's going to be assaulted from behind is just sad YOU SHOULD HAVE ALL THE STATEMENTS && REPORTS && PREVIOUS EMAILS SENT BACK && FOURTH BETWEEN MYSELF && PRINCIPALS, COUNSELOR, STAFF ETC THAT I'VE COMMUNICATED WITH MOVING FORWARD IS WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING BUT WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A MEETING CAN'T BE CALLED WITH THE PARENTS KIDS WILL BE KIDS BUT WHEN YOU ALLOW YOUR KID TO BE AN ASSHOLE && BULLY IS A DIFFERENT STORY PARENTS OF STUDENTS INVOLVED SHOULD BE INVOLVED OTHER THAN THE SCHOOL STAFF BEING YOU GUYS OBVIOUSLY ARENT DOING ANYTHING

Very focused on sports such as football and has a good selection of clubs such as ski club. On top of that the course selection of classes is pretty good with Dual Enrollment and Ap classes. However, there is a heavy influence on substances such as weed and nicotine throughout the school and it is very common to go into the bathrooms and find that. There are some teachers here who shine and actually care about that job such as Ms Fick, and Ms Beckham to name a few.

Because of this teacher, my son is now being told he cannot participate in graduation over a 0.5 credit issue that honestly feels personal at this point. What makes it even more concerning is that I have two children at this school, and both have experienced the same problems with this teacher. Is that just a coincidence? Las Vegas already struggles with the level of education being provided, and having teachers who take away a student's opportunity to walk at graduation something every teenager dreams about is truly disappointing and shameful. Parents should be very careful and stay involved, because from my experience, this school does not genuinely care about the students' future or success.

    This is my son's last year in Tarkanian. He has been attending this school since 6th grade. As a…read moreparent, I'm actually sad. I'm going to miss this school as a parent. The principal is amazing! Communication is very good! Something we didn't have consistent at his elementary school. The parking, drop off and pick up traffic is always smooth. They have a flow that everyone is supposed to follow. I do hate the selfish parents that sit in their cars waiting for their kids while blocking the parked cars. Grrrr! I think the school staff should work on getting those to leave. I especially LOVE that they schedule a day for us to pick up their school schedules prior to first day of school. That day not only gives us an opportunity to get classes ahead of time, but getting lockers and combo too, we get to check their classrooms and have a game plan of where to go so that the kids aren't late and lost looking for their classrooms and lockers on the first day of school. A nice sneak peak for us parents too =) On that day, we have the opportunity to pay for everything upfront such as the PE uniforms, Elective class fees like my son's orchestra fees and concert uniform fees, Tarkanian Merchandise, etc any questions at all, the Counselors have their own table and are available to answer any concerns. This is held in both their cafeteria and Gym. I really love this! It's less stress and less hectic on the first day/week is school for the kids! I have a lot of nieces and nephews who go to other middle schools and none of them do this! They tell me how crazy it is with payments of class fees etc on first week and some take weeks before they even get their PE uniforms and lockers A few weeks in the school year, they schedule another event which is the official meet and greet/open house for parents to meet each class/teachers, they go over class expectations, grading scales, contact Information, answer any questions for parents, clarify what needs to be clarified, etc. an announcer gives each class about 10-15 mins and it's like a musical chair game and we move to the next classroom. I absolutely LOVE this idea!! A VERY organized school overall! The principal/ assistant principal is in the courtyard available for any questions and to just greet the parents, direct foot traffic. They continue to amaze me! (Mr Reece Oswald & Mr Musemici) My son has no issues with his teachers and staff, just the student's culture which isn't something anyone can control I think. As most middle school aged kid, he said his first year, all everyone talked about is sex, dating, swearing etc. that is unfortunately not avoidable in middle school. He said in his 3 years so far (2-3 months in 8th grade right now) he has only seen 2 fights. But it was broken up fairly quickly by the staff, 2 girls fighting in the cafeteria and 2 young new 6th graders boys. So far no bullies that I know of. I ask my son from time to time. He seems fairly happy at this school. Great friends, great food (I don't pack him food, he prefers Catherine cafeteria food believe it or not lol) The front office admin team is nice and pleasant. =) They have kids in each hallways that monitor and direct. I'm not sure what they're called but it's pretty awesome. The school used to sit on the desert by itself but since my son's first year there, they've built houses all around it now. So contruction was a nightmare. It's almost done now though. (Nov 2019) so all the houses and streets surrounding it is brand spanking new. American west homes. (Those are nice homes!!) very clean and quiet neighborhood. Safe when there are no creepers following kids around. There was 1 incident where a white truck followed a kid walking to school, it was on the news but the kid made it to school safely and the parents were notified immediately and was also in the local news. Oh and they have themed school dances every year for all grades which is pretty awesome to have! The kids enjoy it!! The kids seems to fear the staff (lol) which is a really great sign the staff is doing their jobs of discipline and establishing authority and as a parent, I am all for that!! My son is in orchestra and misses Mrs. Gray. She unfortunately moved out of state but he says his current teacher Mr McGlasson is actually pretty awesome too. It is also currently a 5-star rated school!! Pretty excited about that! I will continue to add more to this review if needed by end of school year but it has been so far so good. No complaints in 3 years. =)

When you identify a problem...like having kids go inside their underwear waist...searching kids..no safety in this.. females doing searches on males..with no male present.. teachers having melt downs in their classrooms taking it out on children thru retaliation in grades,emails which are toxic coming from educators...The unfortunate thing is this school operates in dysfunction total chaos. Unable to articulate their own handbook..everything that looks gold ain't gold. A hall aide told me to shush when I was going to speak up about their outrageous unclear rules and directions. I paused and said to myself be quiet in astonishment...absolutely Not! I will call out every wrong intent or action. Nevertheless the uniform is the only nice thing. Its can be expensive for some. It doesn't actually match the school academics/substance. Parents save yourself the hassle and kids find a school that practice what they preach. Which have qualified teachers and administrators.
