John Foster Dulles Elementary School

We Love Dulles Elementary. My son switched from a private school to Dulles. The staff and teachers are caring and competent. We are very happy with the education and environment at Dulles.

Thirlled to hear that a new parent feels that way....I hope you continue to feel that way! You should have seen the school 5 years ago, it was a little heaven on earth! As you get invovled you will see the ridiculous manner things are handles. The teachers are great, students are fantastic, leadership needs a lot of help!

I am new with this school, was very nervous about switching from the old one. I have no regrets and am very pleased to have made the switch. It is one of the friendliest environments I have ever seen. The teacher is extremely involved as are the parents. It is a great community and an excellent learning place. It is truly one of the best schools I have ever seen and been involved with.

I'm a working parent myself and I'm not able to volunteer my time. I've always willing to assist financially. My daughter was transferred from a private school and Dulles have made her transition an easy one.

I have been very happy with the education my children are recieving from Dulles. I also love the fact that it's a small school and everybody seems to know everybody. I know someone is always watching out for my children, staff and parents alike.

As a working parent I must say I am thankful for all the parents that volunteer as I am unable to volunteer my time. I am more than happy to donate to the PTA as I am able to do that! When you give to the PTA understand everything they get goes to our kids. I see that when my children come home excited about the dolphin store or every Friday now they are chanting their Dulles rhyme. Thank you to all at Dulles! You make it a very happy place for our children!

Dulles needs to work on scores and it will be the whole package!

At every school there is room for improvement, there is no perdect school. I think teachers can set it up a bit so that we can start preparing for testing now better then later. I think parents should take the time to get informed before they begin to take us apart. Because Dulles is in a good area we don't get the funding that the other schools in a low income area get. I wondering about the parent that posted their review before me, what have you done to put your two cents in....drop off and roll away, maybe?

I have been very disappointed with Dulles. The schools rating has been dropping for 3 years straight and the principal has just 'wait and see attitude' the PTA has a lot of activities but these just pull the children from the classroom to practice dance routines or running for the jog a thon. The shool can turn around if ppl start focusing on education. Not for me though I have pulled my children out

We have two children at Dulles and we are very pleased with the school. The teachers are wonderful, the PTA sponsored activities are the best and above all my children love going to school everyday. They come home excited to tell me what they have learned that day. Recently my kindergartener gave me the whole scoop on the artist Gauguin. He told me all about how Gauguin did not paint things the way they appear in life, but he colored his subjects in whatever color he felt. I had no idea who Gauguin was. Thank God my son is at Dulles and he can teach me.
