Arthur Kramer Elementary School

I loved everything about my son’s experience at Dealey. Great friends were made here, great teachers, study aboard in middle school, and education. 10/10

The school is beautiful. The students can be pleasant. The teaching staff is another matter. Some of the staff/teachers are very impolite toward visiting teachers. They seem to get a thrill out iof bullying teachers who are not on staff at their school. The principal needs to correct the negative school climate. They are VERY negative toward substitute teachers.

Do not send your child to this school unless they are religiously observant and have ZERO interests outside of academics. The ONLY thing this school had outside of academics were decent sports including a GREAT basketball team. This team was a huge source of pride for the school and a fun way for the kids there to have a somewhat normal HS experience. They are taking focus/funding away from that to focus more on academics. Academics there are fine. What they don't have is opportunities for kids to be well rounded human beings. ZERO in the way of arts, ZERO extra curriculars, no music, no theatre, etc. and now they don't even have good sports. What an ABSOLUTE SHAME that a few well funded donors get to dictate how this school operates. The are the minority. And because it's pretty much the only Jewish HS in town, families are STUCK sending their kids there. I know Jewish kids do not fee safe in many school environments in today's world. But AYA is not the place if you want your kids to be well rounded human beings with interests outside of academics and davening. Send them to Parish or Greenhill instead. Plenty of Jewish kids at both of those schools and they can do all the wonderful things High School kids should be doing.
