I wouldn't recommend this school at all!! Too many students have left this school for better learning and care. The principle doesn't take the parents or children's concerns seriously or respond to emails no sense of urgency.
Posted by a parent on 8/26/2025This school is in a perfect location for military families. It could be a great school, but the principal and PTO are terrible. They don't care about students and won't allow any space for improvements. Its really sad.
Posted by a parent on 9/15/2020I strongly disagree with the reviews below. Dewey has been the best school my children have attended and we attend a lot of schools didn't I constant military moves. I love the fact that the school is majority military because my children can relate with their peers. The few women I met that volunte
Posted by a parent on 4/25/2018As a grandparent to a military family this school is very active in assuring the safety and great education level for every student even when the staff is challenged with many children of a large diversity of backgrounds. School administration is caring and focused on the care of it's student body.
Posted by a community member on 4/25/2018I'd rather leave my child to learn in a cardboard box on the streets than take her back here. She was getting physically assaulted on a daily basis and I was told they couldn't do anything because she was too scared to give names. They lost my child for HALF AN HOUR and didn't even bother to call me

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe’re concerned about overcrowded classes, unqualified staff, and a lack of strong leadership. The school has a poor academic reputation and doesn’t feel as nurturing as it claims. There’s little transparency around fundraising, and safety is a real issue, with reports of bullying, racism, and even unhoused individuals on campus. Communication is limited—except when asking for money. We hope these issues can be addressed for the well-being of all students.Other Review10mo ago
