First things first, the safety of my child at this school worries me a lot, during the after school pick up lines. The way they have their system for the amount of children that get picked up by their families throughout the grades needs to be addressed and reevaluated. The children are not being watched by the faculty staff when they are heading to their families vehicles. More staffing needs to be put out there to help these kids into the vehicles safely. Family engagement has shown interest with having the parents get involved from meet the teacher night and through the dojo app. The school in my opinion is need of a lot of new building formation. The structure of the building needs to be more for the times.

My child won’t be attending this school, no reviews in the past 15 yrs says a lot

This school is an absolute joke. The lack of communication between staff and parents is almost non existent. The lack of communication between the principal, assistant principal, redirect coordinator, is laughable. The disrespect I received as a parent from this staff is unacceptable. If I were to speak at my job to our customer the way this staff has spoken to me I would have, at the very least, been written up. They do not handle situations in a timely manner or correctly. It is no wonder that the kids behave the way they do at this school when the staff doesn't seem to behave any better. My child has been ridiculed by the staff here yet they turn around and expect my child to be respectful at all costs. Absolutely not! Not only does my child not feel welcome or respected in this environment, neither do I. It is a real shame because their band program is absolutely amazing, but we can no longer subject ourselves to the mental anguish and disrespect that continues to come out of this school. My child actually said this place feels like a prison with all the fights that continue to go one every week, the clicks that happens, the staff having their favorites and the ones that they single out i for every little thing. How can you succeed in a place that doesn't even believe in you? I hope that this administration can get it together because I'm absolutely sure that my child is not the only one feeling this way. Middle school is hard enough. This school could really benefit from having a speaker brought in to do an assembly and really teach these kids about respect, kindness, and love. Because they aren't being taught this through the words or the actions of the staff around then. And we wonder why suicide rate is up, we wonder where the respect is, we wonder why there are fights every other day, we wonder why there are kids getting high in the bathroom, we wonder all of these things and yet it doesn't seem that the staff is concerned about any of this. What a shame and a wasted opportunity for the Dallas community.
