This school is terrible!!!! My daughter was bullied in class and she's only in ECE 3. The teacher to student ratio is absolutely atrocious and my daughter was barely learning and her drawings reflect the neglect she endured. I took her out within 3 months and that was the best decision I ever made.

Dmlk is a great school, I highly recommend it. They have so many opportunities and electives like STEM, modern band, art, P.E., Sims fiyola, orchestra, and many others. The people here are super nice and friendly, same with the teachers.

This school felt like a prison all throughout my middle and high school experience i was a very brilliant student and as soon as i enrolled in this school i struggled to learn the pacing is awful the expectations are awful sometimes teachers would get mad we couldn’t understand the material i have also gone through S/A and sexism at this school only to get ignored. With confidence i can say absolutely nobody enjoyed being in this school when my class graduated we cried tears of joy because we never had to step another foot back in there again.

I love that my student has been able to take college courses here since 9th grade! Now he will be one of 33 students graduating with an associates this year!

We absolutely loved our experience at [School Name]! It was a fantastic experience for both our child and our entire family. The teachers at this school are truly exceptional. They are incredibly dedicated and never give up on their students. They see student success as their own success, and it's clear how much they care. We're so grateful for everything they've done to support our child!

There are opportunities for your child to engage outside of school and practice their leadership.

It's an amazingly school its very cool and chill the teachers are super nice and chill.

Horrible when it comes to your child's safety concerning bullying. Horrible at implementing reasonable accommodations which is a ADA violation. Stupid uniform rule when most of the students come to school dressed inappropriately. Stupid school fees. They're just not worth it. Deans/principals do not care about students
