"I live in a gated community which can feel more like a prison at times. The warden doesnāt give us many special privileges...even for good behavior. We donāt have community get togethers, and our cars are towed from the streets if theyāre there past midnight. š©š¢š¤"

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth of my boys went to this school and loved their experiences with the other students as well as with the teachers. My son would tell Mrs. Friesth that he loved her every day when leaving to go home and it would make my heart melt. The staff at the school, along with the teachers, were absolutely wonderful to be around and it felt like a healthy family function at social events. Thank you to ALL the staff for being so amazing!Parent Review2y ago12 Reviews - Kyrene De Las Lomas School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love DGM. My brother graduated high school from there and had a great experience and my son has been going there since he was 2 and he is now 9 and still loves the school. He never wants to leave, loves his friends, and the freedom in education he has there. He excels in math and has ways to creatively approach his other school subjects each day. The small class sizes offer a lot of individual time for each student. We love the community events as well.Parent Review2mo ago19 Reviews
