I have two 6th graders and we are very happy with DDMMS so far. I love the core principles they follow and instill into the kids, I love how it is phone-free during school hours, and I have had nothing but good interactions with all staff who are very friendly and helpful. They also have fun club op
Posted by a parent on 10/2/2025This school is shady, and it's not safe (Or i feel that way)
Posted by a community member on 5/21/2025DDMS is struggling with mediocrity. My kids were loaded up with low-quality learning tasks… filling workbooks, hand-copying pages of printed materials, tedious online (glitchy) learning games, autopilot homework mandates (eg quiz apps to be done twice a day every day). A few teachers were engaging,
Posted by a parent on 9/12/2024When I think of Dillard Drive, I think of my friends, the people, and the teachers who are my best friends as if they were family. The downsides: no "clean language," drama/fights, and not to mention the secret vaping in the bathrooms. In 6th grade, there are so many fun activities and moments that
Posted by a student on 3/28/2023Our son and daughter absolutely love Dillard Drive middle. The low scores and other ratings do not in any way reflect our experience. The principal, Mrs. Feldman, balances compassions with a level of discipline that has made this an incredible experience for us. Our kids are strong academically, and

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTrigger Warning for POC & all allies of injustice.I’d like to start by saying that the principal of the school once mentioned she was more American than my Blackfoot boyfriend.I’m not sure where the competitive pride came from, but I digress. My daughter (the only POC in her class, 1 of a handful in her school) reported getting hit 3 days in a row by a boy about 1.5yrs older than her in her class. The principal stated that she was making it up since no other adult witnessed it. However, the mother of the boy confirmed that he was diagnosed with dyslexia, & resorted to hitting first, since using words to express himself was difficult. She also revealed that he had the same issue last year. My boyfriend, a previous sports director for 200+ kids, expressed the necessary protocol of a meeting. When it was once again dismissed, he emphasized that we will be telling our daughter to defend herself, since telling an adult was being overlooked. I did not bring my daughter to school the next two days awaiting a response about having a meeting. She had been increasingly anxious about going to school. Her cues of putting her head down while approaching the school, slowing her pace while walking towards the entrance, ect, confirmed that she was indeed stressed. Thankfully I didn’t bring her to school, because the principal mentioned that she contemplated calling the police for the morning drop off assembly. She feared that two reasonably concerned parents were going to fight the boys parents and her, since we were so adamant about a meetingParent Review2y ago - Learn With The Best School
