Well, I have no idea what kind of desks they have in Mexico, but we had desks like that when I was in elementary school in good old Missouri. I know what you mean, it's a particular kind of desk, but I'm not coming up with a particular term for it. A school supply web site calls them "chair desks," but if you said that to me, I wouldn't know what it meant. Guess you're just going to have to say "school desk," or describe it, unless someone else has a flash of inspiration.
It dawned on me that she was looking for an English translation. I added workbench or worktable as poor alternates to desk, but for some reason the edit didn't post. No loss.

I assume the word is some combination of mesa=table and banco=bench.It is not an "escritorio" either so that rules out my limited vocabulary. Hope a native speaker comes along to help you.
Erika is bilingual, but I think she was looking for the English word.The picture just looks like a school desk to me . . . but I'm not very good at word games!
