I only gave this 2 stars because my daughters 5th grade teacher was phenomenal. Mrs. Lavery is her name. On the other hand, my son's SECOND 2nd grade teacher was useless. She would send home one paper that myself nor my husband could understand where to begin to work with him on. I sent her a hand written letter asking about what spelling words he was learning, and what else we needed to work on him with but she never responded. The only time I ever heard back from her was about his behavior. And then proceeded to tell me I needed to work on his reading more. That was it. Other than that, no homework for science or anything else where we could study and work on him with so he was doing pretty bad in the class academic wise. Do not send your kids to this school if you can help it. Especially your younger ones

Excellent. I have had a few concerns over the years, but they have been handled quickly and appropriatly by Mrs. Wheat and the teachers. She supports her teachers, but also knows there are two sides to every story. She listens during conferences and helps everyone come to a mutual understanding of what is best for the child. The sports programs are not strong, but they are growing every year. My kids know almost all of the other students from thr nursery to the 8th grade. There is truly a sense of belonging there. My kids are the happiest when they are at DCA!
