7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is average with the exception of the music department which was exceptional, and the quarterly electives which were also very good. I wouldn’t have moved to Chester had I known that the schools weren’t so good.Math: Teachers weren’t so good. My child learned more by watching the lesson of the day on Kahn Academy. Many students had tutors.Social Studies & English: Night and Day depending on the teacherScience: Nothing to write home about but sufficient Electives: Most were very goodGym/Health: No complaintsMusic: Exceptional Clubs: GoodSports: Often exclusive of new playersPTO: Does a great job with activities.Parent Review10mo ago - Bragg Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDickerson is a great school, all teachers and the principal are very active and the office staff is helpful and friendly! Our 3 children love/have loved going here! Some of the homework seems to be excessive with some teachers but I am not entirely against it. Keeps them busy and out of trouble. Conversely if you have active kids it could be a tad much but every teacher will work with you based on your needs.Parent Review12y ago
