Desert View Elementary Intermediate is a public elementary school located in Page, Arizona, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 547 students. The school is part of the Page Unified School District #8, which has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the district, Desert View Elementary Intermediate consistently underperforms the state average in academic proficiency across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 13-23% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 36-46% and 37-42%, respectively. The school's science proficiency rate of 17% is also significantly lower than the state average of 34%. Additionally, the school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as Native American and Special Education students, who rank in the bottom 5-20% of their respective subgroups statewide.

The school's challenges extend beyond academic performance. Desert View Elementary Intermediate has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.9% to 63.84% over the past few years, suggesting a high concentration of students from low-income families. The school's spending per student has also fluctuated, with the most recent data showing a spending of $7,343 per student in 2021-2022, which is still below the state average. The lack of nearby high-performing schools and the district-wide challenges suggest that targeted interventions and a comprehensive approach may be necessary to improve student outcomes at Desert View Elementary Intermediate.
