My daughter is currently in 3rd grade and has been at DuPont Elementary since kindergarten. She has cherished every teacher she has had, they each hold a special place in her heart, especially her kindergarten teacher who has inspired her with the goal of becoming a teacher herself. The staff warmly welcomes parents to come for lunch with their child, they have family activities throughout the school year, and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved as a parent through an active PTO.We as a family have had great experiences with the principal, teachers and staff and the school itself. We are looking forward to sending our youngest to Pre-K next year!

I was a student at this school and I have to say it was one of the most stressful situations I have been in in my life. Constant bullying and harassment not helped by the fact the bullies would often be buddy buddy with the teachers. The constant state of panic when you'd do any thing even as little as dropping a pencil the bullying was intense. It wouldn't even be that bad if it wasn't for thr extreme racism that came with it, kid saying hale Hitler and doing the Salut in class as well as saying the same racist jokes over and over agian the colorism it was a LOT. There was also lots of homophobia if you were gay you were immediately seen as weird unless you were a "cool gay"( this is actually something somebody said). I had a girlfriend while I was at this school and the would call us slurs as well as sexualizing us and openly fantasizing abt our body's. You'd be afraid of telling this to the adults because a lot of them knew about the bullying but ignored it and some joined in. Not to mention the nicotine selling and the ableism. There was also an incident were a kid got his nudes leaked and the whole school saw them and they were shared around openly. As well as the 8th graders preying on the 6th graders.All around this school is just the worst and I would never recommend you send your kid here if you cared about there well being.

As someone that has graduated from this School, I have learned more in my 2 years out in the field than I have learned in the 4 years being in this school. I had good teachers every year, but for every good teacher I had, there were 3-4 bad teachers. The people that actually run the school care more about attendance so they can collect their paychecks, than actually caring about the students situations.
