The teachers were always involved with the students. However, I wish that they had more activities and clubs.

This school is really great but I feel like they should teach more on hands activity's. Not the science experiments but like the kinds of things you need to learn in life.

So far, through 6th and now 7th grade with my child, I'm very pleased that she attends DALA. I really have no complaints and she is happy and progressing well at this school. Thank you for all of your hard work and caring for my daughter. I appreciate everything your staff does for her.
