My son struggled with many teachers in private daycare. At daycare the response felt more like a threat that he better behave or else. Everyone acknowledged he was performing well-above his grade level but wouldn’t accommodate to keep him challenged to avoid boredom. When he came to DCES his first couple teachers and principal worked with us to create an action plan: we felt optimistic. Then in 2nd grade a crucial coupling of him and Ms. Hope Brown was everything he needed. She was a blessing to us and, under her support, our son earned countless Antler Way awards and joined the Gifted and Talented program. Thank you to everybody at DCES - especially Ms. Brown - for motivating and developing a child who might’ve been wasted elsewhere.

My son is a sophomore at DC High School. He’s been in the district since Kindergarten. He’s an introverted nerd. Smart as a whip. DC has always been a special place where he can be himself. His teachers have been supportive of his nerdiness and provided him with the necessary tools to succeed. The administration has been awesome. Granted, I can’t speak to the high school staff. He’s getting to that age when we don’t need to be involved in his day-to-day education. But he’s got a medical impairment, and we’ve never had a problem with the admin and teachers keeping up with his needs. I can’t compare it with the other schools in the state. I don’t have a kid at those. But in his 10 years so far at Deer Creek, we haven’t needed to intervene any more than any of my friends whose kids go elsewhere. I think you have to ignore the 1-star and 5-star reviews. They’re not realistic. No public school can be that good or that bad across the board. People who get bullied at school have a completely different perspective than those who are the most popular. People who find one teacher with whom they feel 100% supported find success. Deer Creek has many of those teachers. Some people just haven’t found them yet.

I went to this school in 7th grade I left because of the bullying and I was uncomfortable. There was this one teacher who would stare at mine and other girls breasts and butts. It was so bad we would all wear jackets in his class. I went to the principal and councilor with this issue they both said i made it up,wanted attention, and laughed. I was not the only girl who felt this way and I was not the only girl who went to the principal and councilor with this issue.Nothing was done. He still works there. I do NOT recommend this school.
