Our children attended Daniel and we were very disappointed. We were involved in the school and made suggestions, had parent conferences and talked with the principle and nothing positive changed.

TAKS scores overall for the school is low and the school had a rating of 'academically acceptable'. Even though we both work full time jobs, we always made ourselves available to assist. The principle has been there for a very long time, does not seem to really care about what is going on at the school; so whatever' kind of attitude. Need new principle.

We are very involved parents and we see the effort the teachers at Daniel are making. The problem with discipline is made harder by lack of respectful

We are looking for another school but this has been a hard decision because we like DISD's curriculum. Daniel could do alot more if the environment was more structured and the serious behavior/lack of discipline issues were addressed.
