My daughter has been at DCA since 2003. While there has been a significant increase in the number of students at DCA since she started, she still has had no more than 16 students in her class in a year. The teachers have been wonderful and caring. While the level of eductaion used to decrease for

I researched other middle schools in the MA/RI vacininty and found none that were above the DCA level. Perhaps the curriculum may seem easier to the students once they reach middle school, but that is only because they had been so well prepared in the lower grades. Niether of us have ever experienced any issues with fitting in or 'clicks' as parent or student . DCA is a wonderful school that I would highly recomend to all! Read less

Dayspring has become more about numbers, it is true. Also, achievement scores show that the students perform well above the national average (average of 2.2 years), and yet they promise even higher scores through curriculum changes. You can not make such promises--it is naive. Leadership of the principal

Dayspring is sacrificing quality for numbers. There is more of a concern for 'more enrollment' and 'more students,' that they forget about several things: the size of the building does not accomodate the number of kids in the building--especially in regards to bathrooms. The physical size of the classroom
... Read more is small, and students continually are 'squeezed' into a tiny room. There is an atmosphere of 'cliquiness' at Dayspring--for both teachers and students. If you do not fit in, or are the member of a clique, it is a very difficult place to be. This, I am afraid, is just not in providing an atmosphere of God's unconditional love and acceptance.

My son attended Dayspring for Kindergarten. We were told how wonderful it was for the younger grades, and how wonderful his K teacher was. However, our son has attention difficulty, as do most Kindergarten students, and becasue of this, we were told that this school would not be a good fit for him.
... Read more We were told this by his teacher. He gets good grades, and is reading full stories and writing. He has always had good self esteem. In his class they have a 'happy face' program. Children that don't follow the rules lose their happy face. My son is very enthusiastic. He talks alot, mostly about what is going on in class. Because of this, he loses his happy face close to every day in front of everyone. This is damaging to his self esteem. 8 chidren from his class are switching this year. That seems like alot to me.

I am also currently a parent of a student of Dayspring and my child has attended there for many years now. The younger grades are very impressive,(for students that can handle the stress and difficult academic programs). I must say, however, that the older grades are a dissapointment. I would suggest
... Read more not to keep your child in Dayspring after 5th grade, where much of the quality goes downhill. Their are few extra curricular activities for them, (their only sport is basketball), and they have no clubs to keep them entertained. They also often have a shortage of teachers. My child often comes home from his grade of under 20 people and complains about the way the kids were treated. If your child does not fit in the year will be difficult for them. I am extremely sorry and often feel guilty for having my child attend there all these years. Read less
