Shady Oak Learning

Bullying is rampant and little is done to stop it.

My twins participate in the dual-language program at EM Daggett Elementary and we've loved every teacher and the administration. They're excited to go to school everyday, we've been impressed by their progress and the school community is very sweet.

I coordinate a mentoring program for 4th graders at DeZavala. I look forward to each time I get to be on campus (pre-Covid - we're virtual this year). The staff create such a warm and supportive environment. The administrators and teachers are passionate about advocating for their students, meeting their needs and connecting them with resources. It has been a joy to collaborate with them for the past four years.

The best school in Fort Worth. All the teachers are the best. Not only they teach school subjects and materials, they also teach them good manners.

This school is not accredited by any organization other than the Lutheran Church. It does not require their teachers to have teaching credentials and the teachers are paid $20 an hour. The school caters to Church members and uses non-members children (who pay double the tuition rate) to subsidize their budget without making them a priority. They do not address bullying unless it is the child of a Church member or a parent threatens to take legal action against the school. There is no support for special needs students and communication between the teachers/administration/parents is erratic. I would strongly discourage any non-Church member from enrolling in the school.
