Kendyl Depoali Middle School

My daughter hates going to school here. There is so much bullying going on and it happens every year with different kids each year. Kids here are mean !! The teachers are very nice and that’s the only reason why she’s still at the school although she won’t be going back. The curriculum is ok, all the testing is ridiculous. My daughter wrote a book as to why she hates school. It’s pretty sad to have to go somewhere five days a week for six hours a day that you don’t like. Public schools just suck in general so now she’s going to a private one after this year.

100% would not recommend this school!! My son started late this year, got bullied multiple times, teacher did nothing. Parking lot is a joke.. there is only 1 person “navigating” traffic in the parking lot.. drop off is usually ok. Until pick up. Drivers are insane and don’t know how to drive. A few days ago two cars pulled out, seeing me and almost hit me!! Made me swerve into an oncoming BUS!! this school is a joke! My son hasn’t even been wanting to go to school because of the bullying and traffic issue! He doesn’t exactly feel safe! School didn’t say much but tell me to pick my son up after traffic dies down… ummm weather has been hot, I’m not letting my son sit in the heat when others have been the problem.. this school needs more parking patrol and better teachers.. they literally don’t care...

We have had a wonderful experience at Double diamond elementary! The staff and teachers have been incredibly supportive, especially in helping my children, who are non-native English speakers, feel comfortable and confident. It’s clear that the teachers love what they do in the way they engage with students. From day one, my kids felt welcomed and included, which made a huge difference in their learning and happiness. The school also does a fantastic job with communication, keeping parents informed and involved. We are so grateful to be part of DDES community.

This has been and continues to be the foundation of my children’s values. The focus and acknowledgment of the commitment to grow a child requires parents, students and educators to work together and this is clear in their philosophy. You will never find a more supportive community.

We are in our 3rd year and have nothing but great things to say. The teachers have been wonderfully supportive and my son actually likes going to school.
