Please don’t believe the hype that DPS puts out about this school. I don’t even want to give this place half a star. I don’t consider this a school,but a place that grooms children to become criminals. These people don’t understand that children are human and make mistakes and that they need to be heard. I don’t feel that this school respects the students or their families. This is a place that gets off on controlling our thoughts and our words. It’s almost as if they want to control you once you register your child. My son had a tough transition from elementary to middle school and made a few mistakes and now that he’s working hard to make positive decisions and turn things around he is refused help and punished everyday for the past. Nothing good ever gets recognition,it’s always the negative things. The people we send our kids to on a daily basis are supposed to be trusted but I only see bullies on a power trip. This has been the worst school I have ever encountered . The security and the “resources” to teach are limited in this place. If your opinion differs from theirs, they just wait to take it out on your child the next day. I’m glad there are only a few months left in the school year. I can’t wait to get my son out of here. Let’s see if he doesn’t get held back after I write this review. There are a few good people trying to make a difference here but all in all the bad outweighs the the good. Please think twice before sending your children here!!!!!

This school is very good and the reason they don’t assign homework is because they teach you everything in class and they assign homework only if it really does need to be done. Also this school has office hours which gives your child 1 hour with the teacher after school to catch up on and things you might need extra help with. They also have Saturday school, where you can work on projects or just a place where you can get things done even if it is just writing a story. This school pushes your kid to the best of there ability even if there is no homework they go hard on grades and you have all this time to catch up on stuff.
