Dixie Hansel Elementary School

The North Campus is a cruel joke for students that need help in special education and the teachers aside from maybe a small few actually care. Their huge "love first teach second" is a joke. Children are bullied daily there with no repercussions when talking to the principal. The principal is brash, unfeeling, and has no idea how to talk to parents nor the students. Some of these "teachers" do not even have teaching degrees. They were hired for a different position then forced into the classroom. The only thing I can say is there are a select few professionals at this school that do care. That go above and beyond for the children and show they love them. The issue is they are drowned out by the administration, and by that I mean the principal and superintendent, that do not care. They only care about the numbers and money. This will be the last year my children attend this school.

I can't say enough about Hattie Dyer. The principal Mrs. Boone is so caring and kind to all the students and her staff. The teachers at Hattie Dyer truly care about the kid's safety, education, and their wellbeing. They help the kids' set goals for themselves and explain to them it's not about getting 100% but it's about growing. My child never felt alone or left out being the new kid in town. My child came home with more confidence every day. The way they run things is amazing.

My son has been so happy at Dodd. He comes home happy everyday telling me how happy he is that he switched school. The teachers set high expectations and do everything in their power to help all their students reach or even surpass those goals. When walking the halls the teachers are friendly and smiling, making the building a very inviting place to be. I highly recommend this campus to everyone that I know!

Selwyn has been a nightmare overall. Teachers are hooking up and the kids know about it. Creates a very confusing learning environment. They have no documentation or procedures for children’s behavioral concerns. They just “talk” during the day and parents are never informed about the policies and plans in place. Selwyn does not prepare your kids for real life. It’s all about “feelings” and doing whatever you want.
