Dyess Elementary School in Abilene, Texas

“My children have attended Dyess for 2 years. Many of the teachers are very nice but there are a few that are horrible. When we went to discuss our issues with the principal, he betrayed our confidentiality but forwarding what we had discussed to the teacher in question. I was horrified by the lack of professionalism. There's also very little offered to help children who struggle, as my oldest does. I'm hoping this year is an improvement over previous years but, with classes packed to their maximum numbers, I'm not crossing my fingers.”

“The first year we were at Dyess was okay, the next year was awful. My daughter was bullied and it was not taken seriously. There were not any extra curricular activities to speak of. Most teachers were very nice, but some just chose to look the other way.”

“Having most of the population of students from military families, I wasn't sure what that meant for us civilions. WHat a blessing. The faculty and the families that are at Dyess are truly wonderful loving people. Academic standards and expectations are high and reasonable. My children were a little uneasy at first, Kinder and 1st graders, but they love it. It is highly recommended in the education community also. It is also a safe school, the staff won't give it a second thought to stop and ask you who you are. At first someone might be offended, but it is for the safety of the children.”

“Dyess Elementary was an acceptable school, does well in overall test scores. There is a high attendance of military children, so military kids all relate to each other. School, community and American pride run high in this school and it is taught to children as values.”
