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 was only involved in one club, National Junior Honors Society. I was chosen to be a part of it and I think it's a great club. We volunteered through it and it inspired me to continue volunteering throughout high school.

It is outstanding middle school . It is not about the school only, but the student diversity and learning patterns with engaged curiosity that inspires the leader, for all these this school is outstanding with years of proven track records. I am very lucky that my both kids are able to study here.

I have 2 children at DDMS. It is a fantastic school. Not perfect, but what is? Principal (s) and most staff are responsive and truly care about the students. Like other schools you have teachers that don't care and should retire/quit, but overall we have had a great experience at DDMS.
