Kingston

My son went to Arlington Elementary from K to 5th. He had the worse experince ever. I got phone calls weekly from staff about the behavior of my son. I never understood because he was always well behaved everwhere else. We resently moved out of state. My son has not been wrote up one time since we moved and he is on the honor role. The teachers tried but the kids my son went to school with where not on the same social level or economic level as my family. Overall it was a nightmare!!! I`m so glad to be out of this school district. I tried to get involved to help not only the teachers but my son`s education. It was not really welcome. We went to all of his after school programs and it sickened me when the staff had to stand up and ask the parents to respect their children. The parents were talking during their child`s program. It was so sad.

This is one of the best schools

We are so happy with our choice to have our daughter attend Dixie over our “highly rated” neighborhood school. The diversity and inclusion is incredible, as is the individual attention. My daughter will get a well-rounded education here. This is truly a gem of a school. (Also, despite the stats on Great Schools, Dixie has good test scores these days.)

The teachers are doing their best, but they got a new principle this year and family involvement has dropped to zero. There are no opportunities to meet other families with kids there and the PTA has vanished.

Very good school in my opinion. The staff is great and the children are really nice to my son. The family resource center has helped me with a lot of things. They also take care of students with special needs. I recommend this school to any parent!
