This is our first year at Dobson. I like the Singapore math program. There is a new principal who has institutes some changes that are for the good but there is a side to her I just don't know about. The front office person can be standoffish. Most of the time I call the school i get a voicemail, why isn't the phone being answered? Still not sure if we'll return next year.

The office lady is very nice. She goes above and beyond to help. I have spoken to the teacher every week before school. I love the time and effort spent by everyone with my daughter.

Not too pleased with this school yet. Just started. The teachers and staff seem grumpy/irritable every time I go into the office. Never did really get to meet with the teacher because it was her "break time". 45 minute twice a day drop off and pick up is totally chaotic and horrendous. Very inefficient. Kids have to wear stuffy thick uniforms and thick socks, but teachers can wear flip flop like shoes, moo-moo like dress, shear see thru skirts. I just don't get why this is supposed to be such a great school!

Love this school! This will be our fourth year. My youngest is entering 2nd grade this year. Her K and 1st grade teachers were wonderful and have really fostered a love of learning. They were creative and fun, but also challenged her to do her best. My oldest is going into 5th grade and looking forward to another great year. Love the small community setting, the uniforms have made it easier for my tween, and there is a sense of pride at this school with staff and students.

I am so pleased with the way everything runs at Dobson Academy, from administration, teachers, PTO, school schedules, activities parent involvement, volunteering, before and after school programs, summer programs and list would go on and on. The teachers recognized my son was advanced in his academics and have let him migrate from his current class to the grade level above for advanced learning in math, reading and spelling! I would recommend this charter to anyone! This is an excellent school!

My kids have been going here since kindergarten. My oldest child is in 6th grade and loves it. My youngest child is in 1st grade and is also loves it. Dobson helped my youngest child needed to go to special ed and he now is more confident about reading and writing. Dobson Academy has changed my children they love goingto school because even though they have uniform they can still express whothey are.With writing papers in school. Thank you Dobson for all that you have done for my family.
