4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a former student of Dvorak, I don't believe it's the staff that's failing the children, perhaps it's our children not willing to be taught. I graduated in the class of 1980, I am leading a successful life, therefore don't blame the teachers, it's up to us as parent's to make sure our kids are doing their school work as well as homework. Teachers can only do so much, so get off the backs of the staff, and take a look and see what you can do as a parent to help your child.Other Review9y ago - Farragut Career Academy High School
