This school sucks. Nothing other on topic than Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ. The kids have been out of in-person learning fir a year and nobody cares about them. Devon Horton destroyed this district completely. I wouldn't put my dog in this school!

We are very happy at Dewey. The teachers and admins are great. I would like to see the school use a better screening for literacy, early on. This is a district wide problem. I see lots of kids with learning challenges that are really not getting what they need.

My kid started first grade and it took two and a half weeks for the teacher to email parents or even send a piece of paper home with info on classroom sche...
