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.

As a taecher who work in this school, I can say that school cares about all the community. That teachers are learning how to give positive impact during the lessons to the students to have better readers and smart kids.

As a parent of DCS(truth be told my scholar was born in my classroom). I was a first-grade teacher at the time. But using my parent lens, I must say I like the school and love how they try to prepare the scholars for college and university through their broad curriculum used daily. The scholars enjoys the arts as well as being educated in a diverse population. My daughter enjoys going to school (even cries when she has to leave- who does that? lol) but if I was to say something that's bad or that I would change, it would be I would love to for my kindergartener would be able to participate in clubs like music, dance etc.
