Desert View Academy was excited to celebrate 15 students who earned a perfect score on the 2023 Arizona’s Academic Standards Assessment (AASA) given last spring. Students were honored in front of their families, guests, teachers, and peers at an event held on Tuesday, September 5. 2023. Each designee received a certificate and a $50.00 Barnes and Noble gift card. DVA is very proud of these Eagles and their outstanding accomplishment!
National Recognition for our Eagles
Do you remember what fun we had at our Blue Ribbon celebration last November? Guess what? A photo from our celebration was selected to be featured on the homepage of the National Blue Ribbon School’s website during the months of May/June.

We received notification that DVA was one of seven schools whose photo was selected to represent 2021 NBRS on the official government site. The photo is also linked to DVA’s 2021 NBRS summary. We are so proud of our Eagles!
2021 National Blue Ribbon School
Our Eagles are so proud to represent DVA, and Yuma, as a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School! How did we receive this honor?
DVA was nominated for the award by the Arizona Department of Education, based on a minimum of three years of data on the state achievement assessments. After nomination as an “Exemplary Highly Performing School”, there was a rigorous process of submitting data, evidence, and descriptive essays showcasing what makes DVA so special. In the end, DVA was one of 5 Arizona schools, and the only Arizona charter school, to be named a 2021 National Blue Ribbon School. Congratulations to ALL of our DVA Eagle family!
