The principal, administration, and teachers have been wonderful to my granddaughter. Her experience at Dacusville Elementary School has been a great and has helped her build a solid foundation for the future. The staff is very personable and professional in dealing with the students and parents. I feel very fortunate my granddaughter has the opportunity to attend this school. Mr. Chapman always goes above and beyond to keep the children excited about school. My granddaughter's teacher, Mrs. Jenny Thompson, has amazed me with the curriculum she has taught her kindergarten class this year. If your child is fortunate enough to attend Dacusville Elementary, consider yourself lucky.

Not the best experience. Academics are far behind what you see at surrounding districts. Sure, it look great on paper like kids are doing great...what isn't mentioned is that almost every class is required to give kids constant retakes on tests. The kids are basically learning they don't have to actually try. They are learning in 6th grade what GCSD is teaching in 4th and 5th, so far behind as it is. Programs, almost no extra programs or offerings. No mental health. Zero discipline, phones out during class and what we have seen in pictures and recordings is enough to call in. The things that happen behind closed doors and that are covered dup at this school would shock several. There are some crooked happenings going on for good test scores. District needs to take a closer look.

The school was okay. I left in 9th grade because a girl told some lies on me however. They gave her all the support she wanted even though they knew she lied. They never supported me at all through the situation aside from a “oh just stay away from her”. I have to deal with the emotional trauma everyday because of what she done. I’m scared to even go out in public now. And besides that, I was told not to tell any of my friends about what happened or I’d get in trouble, which is an infringement of my first amendment rights. They supposedly told her the same thing but she never got in trouble when she told her friends because “if there was rumors we’d hear them”. There was also another time when a boy tried pushing me down the stairs and they let him get away with it because daddy has money and “he was horseplaying”. The teachers were great aside from all that. Ms. Sailors, Ms. Jennings, Ms. Patnode, and Mrs. Roach, I love you all, you’re the greatest teachers I’ve ever had. And coach Blackwell, you’re the coolest sub ever. They’re the only staff that could at least keep me slightly motivated through all of it. If you want your kids to have good teachers, let them go here. If you don’t want your kids to get bullied, choose a different school. Because there’s good teachers elsewhere too. Just the sight of this school triggers my trauma now.
