School Overview

Vista del Monte Elementary sits in the heart of Palm Springs, where the desert landscape and laid-back resort-town vibe define everyday life — think mountain views, warm winters, and a tight-knit community feel. The school serves a predominantly working-class neighborhood and faces real academic challenges, particularly in English and math, making it a school where involved families may want to supplement learning at home or seek out additional resources. Families drawn to the area for its affordability relative to coastal Southern California will find a community working hard to support its kids, and the school's stronger science scores suggest there are bright spots worth building on.
