We newly moved to this area about 1 yr before. We can see a major improvement in school management, student education. We can under covid have impacted many schools, but now it has much improved. We strongly recommend the school.The school has taken steps to stop bullying and community participation has improved.

My son entered the school in Oct 2022 as our family moved here from another State, California. Quickly, my son found a good friend who is my next door neighbor. I have good relationship with my neighbor since then. The teachers are friendly in this school. There are many activities from this school to engage parents and kids like science night, and game night. When entering the school, I found the banner said, "Be respectful." This is such a great banner to promote positive and right spirit of the school. As public school, it must accept school from all background, yet, educate them and direct them to a "positive" and "respectful" spirit is the key to success. Learning won't take place unless students respect their teachers and respect each other; be well with each other, helping and support each other. In late 2022 and early 2023, I met a pastor, Dr. White, as the school door in the morning. He had a grand-daughter studied in Dallas Park. He smile and greet every student entering the school. It was such an warm and loving spirit every time I met Dr. White. It turns out my Son was doing well in this school. He earned many awards at the end of the school year. Later he entered GATE (Gifted) program, and national honor society. I give credit for Dallas Park as this school can spot out the best student and put them into academic excellent program, so they can excel in their learning. It is true that my son told me not all the students turn in their homework, but the teachers tried hard to create the best learning environment for their students. I truly hope that Dallas Park will keep up the good work as this community need this kind of good school. Bravo.Dallas Park is a very good community school. I do recommend students to come her and receive their education here.

My daughter was challenged and engaged in all of her classes. She was extremely prepared for middle school when she left. I would recommend this school to anyone!

My kid had bad experience with this school. Negative reviews about low academic level before we entered. I was told by my kid the schoolmates were mostly not learning in several classes. They did other things, not respectful to teachers, too loud talking which avoid real learning and studying. I just encourage my kid to do the best and ignore the negatives. It was so different from where we moved from and I realized our previous school in another State was much better. Then, even worse things happen to my kid. "Bullying" to my kid did lots of hurt. At the early stage I tried to encourage my kid to do the best, but things turn very bad. It never happen to us in previous school. The reprimand system in the school was so random and ineffective. It did not help students improve their behaviors, and things were getting worse. I tried to reach the school official by emails or phone call with no reply, so I went and talked to one. Things got slightly improved, but systemic risks persist. I realize this is not the place to achieve academic excellent, and not even a safe place to stay. So, I instructed my kid to do the best academically, kept a good spirit, and at the end of the semester, I will never allow my kid to go back to this school ever. I would like to point out three major areas the school has failed:1. Unclear purpose and direction: No direction for and to students to achieve academic excellencies, no instructions for students to learn moral modesty. Aimless expectations makes aimless students. These aimless students showed their aimlessness in classrooms. Instead of learning, they do their own things, not listen to and disrespect their teachers.2. No real strategies to manage the classrooms: One teacher send me emails several times mentioning how disrespectful and worse things his students did in class and need parents help. I felt sorry to him but it also showed the teachers in this school need "classroom management training." With unclear purpose comes with lack to strategies to achieve the real goal.3. Failing and Ineffective reprimand system: The purpose of reprimand of disciplinary actions should bring improvement of student behaviors and moral value. But it fails, students were punished with unclear standards with minimal results. Worse thing when the victim is punished and the bullies get away. It encouraged more bullies, unsafe environment, systemic risk daily. Moral education badly needed. Not recommend!
