Desert Sands Unified School District is a public education system based in La Quinta, California, serving five communities in the central Coachella Valley. It operates 34 schools, encompassing traditional high, middle, and elementary campuses, as well as alternative programs and 16 preschools including a Head Start program, educating more than 26,000 students. The district maintains dual immersion in two elementary schools, offering full English/Spanish instruction for kindergarteners and first graders with plans to expand over time.

DSUSD is one of the valley’s larger employers and plays a central role in local education. In March 2026, the district announced a partnership with the College of the Desert to offer dual enrollment courses at La Quinta High, intended to bridge high school study with early exposure to professional medical careers.
