Read what parents are saying about Dakota Elementary School

The Principle has a deep love for her students and it shows on a daily basis. The special education resources and staff are far beyond any school weve ever experienced and we will be forever grateful for the care and attention they've been able to give our kids

Dakota has been an amazing school for my daughter! She started going there in preschool for help with her speech and now is entering 2nd grade. We have had amazing teachers and room aids. I've never had an issue with any teacher or staff. The schools in this area are far more advanced academically t

The principal at Dakota is a bit cold and rude. She doesn't like for you to pick your child up early and has even made me wait till the class went to lunch before calling them out of class. Having said that most of the teachers are good. There has been a few that should quit. The rest are very

My oldest son has attended both North Plains and Dakota. We have had some good and bad experiences in both schools. I loved the kindergarten teachers, speech teacher and principal at NP.

I really did want to like this school when I enrolled my son as a second grader and he was very excited to go to school there, but it turned out to be horrible experience for my child. My son has a SPD and mild ADHD and instead of working with me and communicating with me when he was struggling, his second grade teacher labeled him as a problem child and didn't do anything to try to help him. The aide in the classroom would not allow him to sit at the same table as her when she was leading small groups. One of the third grade teachers even went so far as to tell my child he smelled bad in front of a class. I tried talking to the principal about my concerns and he laughed in my face. The only time he took my husband or myself seriously was when we threatened to hire a lawyer. The only reason I am giving this school two stars is because the teacher who runs the Title One Look alike Program is wonderful.
