Dillard Elementary School

When I initially put my son In this school I did it because it was hyped about being the only A school in the area and in my sons district. I want to start by saying the principal Nikia started off as what seemed to be a very involved, understanding, and willing person to ensure that your child succeeds. That changed when I realized her reputation or her friendships with the teachers were more important to her. She allows the guidance counselor to do absolutely nothing. Complete bare minimum don't even expect a call or email back from him. She allows her teachers to be and act very aggressive to the parents even when not being met with aggression, she will walk out of any meeting when it gets tough with any excuse which sure shows her intent and urgency to help the situation. My son had a teacher throw his math test on the ground because he failed it and when addressed she admitted to it and confirmed that she actually did it to all of the students that failed that day. I see now that this school is a 3/10 and I absolutely know why. They do any and everything to keep that funding going including not assisting kids that really needed it instead pushing them out so that it wouldn't affect their numbers or funding. But now look. God sits high and looks so low. even as low as this school and its employees. This school will mentally and emotionally damage your children. PLEASE BEWARE!! you will have a lot of pieces to pick up. Very sad

I've had some bad experiences,but it's not with the teachers. It was more with the students. I've witnessed bullying between the students. My son was a new student of 3 months. And he was threatened to be maced, jumped after school. But me being a caring mother I made sure I was there everyday after school. The staff tries, but some of the kids are rude, disrespectful, and disruptive. The school needs more control of the students. Cause the kids make the school look bad. If they only go to school to learn they'll be fine. But Larkdale.is the best.

The principle Ms. Proctor has this non chalent attitude when talking to you. She is very rude and seems not to care about the students. Please replace this principle with some who cares for our children we need get her out of this school asap!

After being there for 3 months and then leaving it is easy to see why this school used to be at a F grade. Staff members are not friendly if you don't look like them and the students are super disrespectful. Administrators want things their way and only their way. If you do something they don't like you're at fault at all times and never them. They also play favorites. I found that it was not a welcoming environment. Do not work there. It will make you miserable.

I’ve had some many problems at this school. For the whole thing I will NEVER refer this school to any parent. They don’t have all together. The kids are terrible and there is a lot of bullying going on. I’ve NEVER seen the principal. They never answer the phone when you call. We as a people as a whole have to do better. When my grandkids were in public schools they made the A honor role every semester, when they get to this school their grades dropped tremendously!!!!
