Dunleith Elementary School

This school does a poor job at putting kids/children first. I would not have my child attend this school if at all possible. They do not care about the kids.

I wouldn't send my dog here let alone my child.There are better schools around please do your research.

My son began this school late due to a relocation. However, I am grateful for his teacher who consistently challenges my son to work hard and be creative. Sometimes I would drop in my sons classroom to volunteer with reading to the class and assist with the school functions. Overall, we have been pleased. I can say that its not just sending your child to school but actually becoming involved to gain a better understanding of how the classroom functions and most importantly how your child is responding. This school is also wonderfully diverse with children of different cultures and backgrounds which places the experience for my family of many cultures over the top. Thank you Dunleith Elementary for your exceptional level of greatness and especially Dr. Hurt for your leadership and great compassion.

If you are a parent of a special needs child, and you want to raise your child to be a well educated, productive citizen, then this is not the school for your child. You will find yourself constantly fighting for your child's right, with no success. If you visit the school unexpectedly, the staff will get on their Walkie talkies and alert the teacher as if they have something to hide, as well as you will not feel welcomed in the class. They prefer that you give them prior notification that you are coming so they can stage it. If you send the teacher an email, you might get a response, and if you do, it will be days later. If you ask the teacher a question relating to your child's education, the teachers are allowed (by the Principal) to disrespect you, with no consequences to the teacher. The overall experience at this school has been completely stressful and unsatisfactory.
