Terrible fourth grade Math teacher lack of passion for students learning, homework is done at home therefore homework scores and assignments must return home for parents or guardian to assess , motivate and encourage . That way home can verify graded results. Even if the assignment is done right teacher marks it wrong. My child was marked F from the beginning of school quarter child is Still F. Child left 3rd grade with C. Teacher shows no concern for the outcome of the student only there for their income . Sad!!

The principle does not care about her student.People will get bullied and the counselors, teachers, staff, will not help anyone. The principle tells students to their face that she's the final decision maker and their problems don't matter.You are not safe, heard, cared for, or understood at dash. This school makes students feel unsafe and unsupported. There is a very very small amount of teachers and faculty that actually cares about the students at this school, and Dr. Maggie Rodriguez is not one of those.

This learning institution is a poor excuse for a leadership academy. Flaunting blazers and ties is but a mere disguise for the demotivated student atmosphere and lackluster academic rigor. With teachers who meltdown in the middle of the year to constantly shifting science teachers that affect the students education, the only respectable educator would be the PE teacher. I heed warning to not fall prey and send your children to this secondary education facility. Kids in this school do not care about their education and do not contribute in the classroom. The few students who do excel in this institute (like I did) are not challenged to their fullest potential and are at a great disadvantage in college. Not only is there no sport teams, but the lack of extracurricular activities is truly terrifying. The recent addition of a few AP classes does not change the value of this school and I can assure parents that this is not the school that will meet you or your childs needs. I merit my post as a student who was unfortunate enough to attend this poor excuse of a school. If you or your child is seeking academic rigor along with an abundance of extracurricular activities in a diverse and safe setting, this is absolutely NOT the place. I would suggest Mast Academy, New World School of the Arts, DASH, and many other excellent nearby high schools.
