So happy with the teachers, new principal and staff. My kids love going to school and all the staff have been a big part of this. They all work so great together. I am very confident that they are getting an excellent education. I feel very fortunate that my kids have the opportunity to go to such a fantastic school.

The teachers and campus are terrific and really committed to the students. Used to love this school until the old principal retired recently. The new principal is not a fit for this school and has a tendency to vilify and punish students.

Dixie is overly concerned about the school's rating via test scores. In Kindergarten, they "teach to the test" and the amount of homework is often lamented by parents. While I'm sure there are some very kind teachers, the number of children who moved classes because of the way a child was treated by a teacher was astonishing.

We love Dixie school!We have found that the teachers are very committed to the students. In most grades there is a somewhat leveled curriculum to help the kids learn at the pace that suits their needs. The parent support of the school is comprehensive. Truly, the common goal of the Principal, administrative staff, teachers and parents is to provide the best, most well rounded education possible to the students.
