Desoto H.S. & ISTEAM3D Reviews
Rating 3.54 out of 5 658 reviews
As a one year student attending Desoto High School, it was a big change coming from where I came from. I moved here from Houston to pursue athletics. On the first day I was very welcomed by the counselors who helped me get acclimated into the school. Everything wasn't how I expected it though, I was completely engulfed in a different environment that I wasn't used to. The change was hard but I had good people around me to help get through it. It took some time but I was welcomed and felt involvement in the environment. One thing I love about the school is the culture of it but I wish everyone was more involved and focused in their education. I wish the school received more funding to provide more resources to the students and teachers. Another thing I love about the school is the Gear Up program which I'm a part of which helps keep students on track of their college goals, finances, scholarships and graduation requirements. Overall, Desoto HS is a very well rounded school for all.
My overall experience with Desoto had been great its a really good environment. Desoto High School and ISTEAM3D are known for their focus on science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) education. They provide students with opportunities to engage in hands-on learning experiences and develop skills in these areas. The programs aim to prepare students for future careers in STEAM fields and foster a passion for innovation and creativity.
My experience in Desoto High School is one that had both good memories and bad ones. There were several times when it seemed that they prioritized athletics over academics, but I believe that would be the case when they are being sponsored for the football team. I do wish that they had slightly more structure when it came to people walking the halls and skipping. Overall my experience in Desoto High School is a 7/10, for the people, y teachers, and the courses I was able to take.
