Harry C Withers Elementary School

Overall a good school. Some teachers need to be replaced with more professional people.

Withers is a wonderful school! We had our children in both dual-language and general education, and have had wonderful teachers, classmates, and families on both tracks. Parental, teacher and administrative involvement and dedication to the school is amazing - you see that in the great turnout at school events (from 5K in the fall to "PawPawPalooza" and Variety Show in winter to auction in spring), attended by kids, families, teachers and administrators, and in the teachers, parents and neighbors volunteering their time for extracurricular activities like Destination Imagination, chess club, choir and sports, and curricular activities like Field Day, Art Day, and Earth Day. Not to mention the day-to-day involvement of many parents in the classroom, providing support to the teachers and kids. Robust fundraising - speaking to the deep commitment of Withers families to their school - funds many of the "extras" that enhances the kids' experience in this diverse school. Academics is great, and many kids go on to academic magnet programs like Travis. We recently moved out-of-state and our kids transitioned to magnet gifted-and-talented programs without missing a beat. We miss Withers!

We have been consistently blow away by the care of the teachers at Withers. They are truly excellent!

Withers is an exceptional "gem" of a school in our North Dallas community. Outstanding leadership, a strong teaching staff (both dual-language and General education) and a supportive, involved parent and community base make this a great DISD option. My two children are thriving and we, as a family, have made many of our closest friends through our Withers community. Truly worth your consideration.
