We are now going on to our second year at this school and we are looking forward to it. My daughter loves it here and I am finding myself glowing with pride when I talk about D.H White. The are a lot of things that this school needs to do to become a bit more modern but funds are hard to come by. We
... Read more are going to be getting new computers this year thanks to the fundraising by the PTC. I am a stay at home mom for now so I have more time then others so I volunteer as much as I can. I joined the Parent Teacher Club and I love the feel of knowing more about the goings on at school. The staff are wonderful people and they work very hard for our kids. I wish we had better parent involvement but at every event I saw the same few parents. This is a public school after all so parents need to help out when ever and where ever they can. I am going to be happy to be sending my youngest to this school as well. I'm going to be at this school for a long time. Hope to see you here. Read less

My child is in Kindergarten at this school and would be lucky to have any one of the kindergarten teachers here. They are all fabulous, energetic, and attentive to the kids. They make themselves easily accessible to the parents. The school is typical of a small town in that the staff knows all the students
... Read more and a lot of the parents and families, but I come from a big city and I think this is wonderful! It makes me confident in knowing that my child and my requests will not be ignored and lost in the system. The office staff is great and the PTA group is dedicated and welcoming to all parents that are interested in helping in any way they can. I work full time and have still been able to find a way to be involved. Read less

I had my son attend here for 1st and 2nd grade. His first grade teacher was Ms Fredrick and she was very attentive to the students. My son enjoyed going to school and doing his homework. His Second grade teacher ( Ms. Hunt) is very motivating to her students. She really helped my son improve in his
... Read more reading skills. Overall the teachers have been good. The school administrative needs more assistance. Principal is not always around. Short on staff in the office. This town a is your typical small town feel. Where everyone knows your name and your business. They gossip too much amongst each other. There is not enough diversity within the town or the school. If it wasn't for the Superb Teachers ( Ms. Fredrick is no longer teaching there) I would not have my child in this school. Read less

Last year my daughter was in first grade and really loved it. Her teachers were wonderful and cared about her and her progress. First grade is great as they separate into groups per reading level and all the first grade teachers are pretty good. Second grade seems to be another story. As far as I can
... Read more tell there is only one possibly two good second grade teachers and my daughter does not have them. She is in the top of her class academically but is bored and has become unmotivated to read or excel as she is forced to perform on an average or below level and the work is easy and boring for her. There are no programs for students like this and the teachers don't show any sign of caring for her academically or personally that I can tell. I work in the class what else can I do? Read less

Last year was our first year at DH White school and I felt our daughter was very blessed to have Mr. Nick Glende as her teacher. He is very focused and attentive to his students. My daughter attended pre-school before going into Kindergarten, but she really didn't show any interest in reading until
... Read more Mr. Glende worked with her and got her really excited. I was a parent helper in her class, and was fortunate to observe his work. The only thing that I have been disapointed in at DH White is the lack of activities outside of the class rooom for our kindergarteners and the lack of parental involvement. I am a working mother and still found the time to be there for my child and as a resource for her teacher. Unfortunatly I am one of a very small group. We need to be partners to expect excellence!!!
