I definitely had a positive experience at DMS. The teachers were very knowledgeable and kind, and for students at the top of the class like I was, they still made classes interesting and fun.

DMS went out of its way to help me and about 6 other students excelling in math. We tested out of our grade level during 6th grade, and when we ran out of math during 8th grade they accommodated us by allowing us to take a geometry class at the high school up the street. The administrators (particularly Fran Meffen, one of the guidance counselors) were all very friendly and truly wanted us to learn as much as we could. Overall, for me at least the school was very dedicated to my education

There was a time when my children bartended this school I would give it three and possibly four stars. Now my grandchildren attend this school and it has gone down the tubes so far I don't think it will ever recover! The state standings went from top ten a generation ago to the lower 30% today. We p...

My experience is awful. I can’t go a day without my daughter coming home telling me her teachers harass her. There is no privacy, seeing how there are cameras all around our school and in the bathrooms. This place should be out of business. Teachers harass you infront of the class, and will make you...
