My experience with Dunn 2008-2009 was great. I had some minor issues but the interim staff made sure to help and keep me informed. I have two children at Dunn. This year we have new staff. There are some policies that are in place that treat the children horrible. I am a very involved parent therefore
... Read more I stay on top of my children and staff. It saddens me about the new staff and I am now looking into moving my children to private school. I would advise others do the same if they can afford it or atleast talk to your children to discover more about what is going on with the new administration. I also advising visiting the AISD site and read Campus Impovement Plan for Dunn, you would gain more insight about the school and it's concerns. Read less

I live close to Miller, but I drive my 4th grade daughter to Dunn every morning! I chose to send my daughter to Dunn because of the teaching faculty and caring staff. Dunn is a great school!

I don't really agree with some of the reviews here stating that if you have a lower income, they don't want anything to do with you. I definitely have a lower income than most parents there and I was treated fine by most. It really all depends on the individual you are dealing with. This is a great school,

I have 2 children who have attended Dunn during the past 10 years. They have both had an excellent experience overall. The older child always excelled and we were very pleased the way her teachers challenged her. My younger child has struggled with learning from the beginning. We have found the
... Read more teachers and administration to be very supportive in meeting his needs. His teachers have always been willing to talk with us about our concerns and make adjustments in his accommodations as needed. Parents are kept informed by the weekly PTA newsletter and the schools website calendar. It is easy to become involved if you make an effort to respond to the requests for volunteers seen in that newsletter. PTA plans several events throughout the school year for families to come and enjoy time together. Most of these events are free and provide a great opportunity for parents to meet other parents. The administration has also planned opportunities for parent education at least once a year for the last several years. My only complaint is parents that do not follow the traffic safety plan for picking up and dropping off their children. Read less

I have 2 children at Dunn also. My children are like night and day. One is an overachieving teacher's pet. The other is a high energy child who can test even the patience of Job on some days. It's hard to hear that one of your children has trouble focusing and keeping hands to themselves, but so
... Read more far the teachers have worked closely with us and have been positive and helpful. I noticed that one reviewer stated that only upper income kids seem to be treated well. I find that interesting since there are very few houses (maybe 2 or 3 dozen) that qualify as upper income and most of this school is on free and reduced lunch. We have really enjoyed Dunn and look forward to many more years there. Read less

I have two children that I choose to send to Dunn. By 'choose' I mean that I actually have the option to send my kids to a different school district because I am an educator in that other District. Although the school that I could have sent my children to is identified as an 'Exemplary School,' my
... Read more husband and I have been so impressed by the teachers and administrators at Dunn that we continue to send both our children. The principal's door is always open to any parent that has a concern and she (and the teachers) make each child's success the number one priority. The PTA offers a ton a special incentives and programs for the students and Dunn families and yes, they require money to operate (hence the wrapping paper sales). Dunn has been a great experience for our entire family and I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else. Read less

I agree with the previous poster. My son used to go to private school and we took him out to put him in Dunn because of what friends and neighbors had said about Dunn. We love Dunn now and know others that have had the same experience. I know you can't please everyone all the time, but I think Dunn

I have two children at Dunn and their educational experience could not be any different. One child is an over achiever and is treated very well by administration and staff, the other is an above average student, but is constantly at odds with administration and staff for very minor infractions of the

I sincerly hope that the departure of the former Vice Principal will lead to a climate that is more interested in education than discipline for petty infractions. That has not been the case in previous years. Overall, I believe the staff is good, but the leadership has been average at best. Read less
