Dawson Plan in Dellrose by Ashton Woods

After reading the rankings for this school, I was very skeptical about moving to the area and enrolling my daughter here. However, 2 yrs later I can say the experience has exceeded my expectations from day one registration to academics and district/school communication. The transfer process- coming from another city- was seamless. The counselors and registrars informed me of what items were needed and they handled the rest. Even making arrangements to register on a different day to accommodate our moving schedule. About 99% of the teachers respond to emails or inquiries within 24 hrs (and most of the time after hours). If you are a concerned or active parent, they will work with you accordingly. While the front office phone service could use some work, overall correspondence is excellent. There is a real sense of community at the school. The principal treats the students as individuals and actually shows concern in day to day interactions. My daughter's attitude changed from not wanting to go here to now not wanting to leave. Although, some high tech resources are lacking in comparison to other local districts and the district we transferred from, this school has made a potentially difficult transition to the high school world a whole lot smoother for my daughter and our family.

I wish there were an option for zero stars but I don’t even know if this school deserves that. I’ve raised four kids between the ages of 12 and 30 and this is by landslide the worst ISD any of my children have ever gone to. I thought the elementary was bad, but they should just absolutely close the middle school altogether the principles are corrupt the place is a madhouse, and the bullying is unreal. Not only did the students bully my child, but so did the teachers and the principles. The sad part is, my daughter has learning disabilities and speech issues you would think they would protect her better, but they certainly did not. I had to pull my child out.

My review goes way past 5 stars for RRE. My son started here in Kinder and is now in the 4th grade. Everyone has been so amazing. His teachers have been incredible. We started kinder with undiagnosed ADHD and everyone from his teacher to the principal to the counselor embraced him and helped us through the curves of it all. They truly care about the students and it shows!
