GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have a very ugly experience with dyess elementary. They are very unprofessional and abuse kids with autism and blame it on outsiders of the school. They will cover up what they have done to keep their jobs and avoid being charged with a crime. I would like this school to have more cameras of every area that dont have them and confess to what they have done to alot of families that are hurting watching others get penalized for a crime they didnt commit. This school needs to have more security every corner you turn. These teachers aren't all what they seem to be. I know from experience with this school and alot needs to change. APD needs to do a fully investigation when it comes to this school going on people when it comes to a child being abused in any form or fashion. I will not rate this school. They dont deserve it.
