My son went to this school for less than a school year and was bullied several times with NOTHNG being done about it or to the bullies. I had to threaten to have the police called if it happened again before they "found" a way to put him on the other 6th grade block. He was still bullied with nothing being done, even had a child punch him in the face and nothing was done. I had a child (who I later found out had a 1-to-1 paraprofessional) approach my car in the lot as I was picking my son up with no adult in sight. They have asked me THREE times if we are moving him to another school and all three times I have said yes and given them the name of the school he will be attending. THREE times?! That's crazy! I don't know what the admin and staff are doing but it is definitely not taking care of our children and ensureing their safety!

I had my reservations about sending my daughter to this school because of the 2 out of 10 it received on this website. Once I realized that the academic rating is for K-12 and that the elementary level has much better scoring than that, I felt more comfortable. A few things that I love about this school. First, my daughter is able to do dance, drama, art, and music at school. It is less time away from home in the evenings because I don't have to put her in outside classes. Secondly, the teachers at this school (speaking at the elementary level) are outstanding. I've been so impressed with their level of commitment to helping all of the children excel. My child was already reading when she started kindergarten, but they have been wonderful about differentiating for her and others, and they have a great gifted and talented teacher who works with the kids as well.Last of all, the elementary level principal is awesome! She collaborates with teachers and parents and is constantly working to improve the school (on all levels. i.e. teaching, data, culture). This school has a great community feel and gives great academic opportunities as well as art-filled experiences.

It was horrible! My kid got bullied and I had reported it multiple times but the school refuse to do something so when my kid actually got into a fight with the bully he was the one suspended while the other kid got a apology and chips?! This school is perfect for kids that are trouble makers since they get rewarded instead.

In addition to the unique dual language immersion (DLI) program, we love the community our family has found at DCIS. I highly recommend this school to other families, even if it's a way's away from home. The teacher and staff truly care and work hard to build a trusted community for our kids.

This school was honestly not bad at all but the promblem is the principal and the teachers they cuss at students when someone wants help for their grades they don’t really do much and but the school was not really bad it’s just the teachers and principal…

Nuestra experiencia ha sido maravillosa, nuestra hija se ha acoplado muy bien, el acompañamiento y las clases extracurriculares han sido de gran apoyo!

As a legal guardian, I was deliberately excluded from my child’s education without any court order. The school relied on false internal forms to grant others access and decision-making authority while refusing to recognize my lawful parental rights. Staff repeatedly dismissed my role as a parent, causing emotional distress to my child and harm to his education. This is a serious failure of legal compliance and accountability that should never occur in a public school.
