Richard Henry Dana Middle School

The best school ever. Friendly teachers and atmosphere (:. I am an 8th grader and will be very sad when i leave. This school is the best middle school to put your child!

My younger daughter just graduated from Dana and I cried for days at the thought of leaving this most amazing middle school. We were there on permit (my older daughter attended for two years and my younger daughter for three years) and could not have asked for more. The leadership leads consistently well, and the staff are always available to parents and students. It felt a 'family' where everyone is known and valued, including each student being known by name. Teachers meet a high standard and the students are encouraged to achieve and reach their best potential. For the student who requires more advanced studies, Dana provides them. I always knew that my girls were safe and well taken care of. This school is truly a "gem" and shouldn't be missed!

I must say that this school is awesome!!! I'm a 7th grader at DMS and I love it there. This is my 3rd year in the Wiseburn District. They take care of problems (if any) and understand how important education is toward us students. Trust me..I know. Kids get along and there are many clubs that are provided for us at DMS. This school is great academically...no kidding. It's not like other middle schools with over 2,000 kids in it, this school only contains about 900 kids. That way teachers know who we are. I can go by any teacher and say, 'Hello!' even if I'm not in his/her class. Great School.

This school is a wonderful school. Hi i am an 8th grader attending at Dana Middle school. The school is brand new with brand new classes and a brand new principal. Before we had a new school we did not have SLC but only the avid kids do, but know we get to expirience what they had. The school has been more advanced and more better. I could not wait to graduate in a beautiful school.

I had not one reservation about Dana from my first point of contact with the website in 2005, the Wiseburn District office, and Dana's faculty/staff, and it's outstanding principal Mr. Wunder. I expect the best from my daughter and Dana helps produce those results.

My kids just started at Dana MS. They have had a very positive experience so far. Just a word of caution to prospective parents. The school district is very small, so many costs that are usually paid by the distict are passed on to the parents. I was shocked to find out that the after/before school program was so costly. Since I have more than one child enrolled, I could not afford it. I have to use my lunch hour to go pick my kids up. But I will do whatever it takes so that my kids get a quality education and have a positive experience in school. Signed, Taxi-Mom!
