My son is in 1st grade also having attended kindergarten at Desoto. The teachers know the student's names as well as the parents. They have taken extra care and patience in classwork, the media center, music and the gifted program. The school is a hidden treasure with it's renovation and a truly caring principal, asst. principal and staff. Added bonus is the after school program at the adjacent Desoto Park.
