I am a past student who has recently graduated from DMS and I am not going to look back on it with rose tinted glasses. Well start off with learning, I was someone who always had good grades if given the ability to and it was fine but it was always very uninteresting at times and I found it hard to actually get into it. They also had a thing called “learning academy” instead of study hall so I had no free time to catch up on work and had to sit through a class where I learned nothing and provided me with nothing but cons not a single pro to it. On to teaching, the teachers are alright. There are a lot more bad apples in the bunch than you would think though. I had one (not saying the name) who could not teach a whole class. She would’ve worked better in small groups but could not do the whole class. The grading system is horrid. Half the teachers don’t understand and it’s obvious they only did it because now it doesn’t sound like you’re failing. Social-emotional support could be good now but in my experience the guidance counselor who was there the whole except for my last year did not help. She would’ve worked better tell parents anything and everything that happened even if it wasn’t dangerous and proved that she couldn’t be trusted by students so nobody went to her bottled it up because they knew they couldn’t trust her. The one my last year was amazing though. <3 you Dr. Breualt! Special education I gave 4 because I have no experience with but the teachers seem amazing and supportive whenever they bring the kids into the classes. Safety could be better. I was there in 6th and there was a bomb threat on the school. They got everyone out quickly so that’s good but originally they didn’t tell parents the truth until a few hours later. There was also a girl who jumped on and attacked another girl. She was promptly held down and put in handcuffs by the resources officer. They do alright in family engagement by having constant things for families to go to.

This school does nothing about bullying they are very rude when you bring up concerning issues. This school is just terrible and would NOT recommended if your child has a mental health or behavioral issues to not attend this school cause they will treat you and your children like your trash!
