This is a great school. There are few students that misbehave, but in my opinion its because the parents did not teach them how to behave at home.
Both of my children attended DRMS, one is still there in 7th grade. Over the past four years, I have had no problems. In my personal opinion, the teachers there have helped shape my children in to the confident people that they are today. My children are extremely involved with FFA and the opportunities that they have had have only made their future brighter! THANKS MR. C!
Im a student at drms and i think this school is overcrowed and horrible. the teacher can be flat out rude. i was called a name that hurt my feelings by the iss teacher in lunch. this school would be better if there wasnt as many students and if we had more than 3 minutes to get to our classes exspecially when all of our classes are spread apart. im not trying to be rude but this school needs to support and know about the more improved students instead of acting like all the students that go there are bad. overall i would give this school a 1 out of 10
I'm a student here, i'm in the 8th grade, and I've attended this school for three years, what a disaster. I used to go to a school in Naples, Florida, when I moved here in 5th grade, I realized that the school is a wreck. When I was in 6th, there was literally a fight everyday. 7th grade was the same. This year, kinda stopped. The main problem is they give us ABSOLUTELY no time to talk to friends. We have 3 minutes in between classes. It takes me 3 minutes to get to class because my classes are spread through out the whole school. When I first came here they were teaching me things I learned in the 3rd grade, and this year, towards the end, there teaching me things I learned in the end of my 4th grade year. This is just an all around HORRIBLE school.
Ok i am in 8th grade and to be totally honest, this school lacks in areas where they need to be imporved. If they would lets students have more time to pee, or if they worry more about the childs education this would be better! this is an ok school, but the reason why i'm rating it because it truly does need impoving
Discipline is a huge problem. Dean of students does not enforce school rules or support teachers. Students bully, fight, curse with little to no consequences for their actions. Teachers have no support.
I was very disappointed with this school. Half the teachers didn't even know who my son was at confrences without looking up his name. I witnessed kids kicking and hitting other kids while waiting in lunch line.
Very organized, great facility and good security, y kids are doing great, Just moved in and I like, I will like to see more club and activities.
The staff needs people skills & doesnt seem to like kids in general. I love all kids good, bad, misfit and anyway i get them. Being a foster parent gives you understanding which this staff has none. Not everyone staffed is poor, but the administrators are.
Very organized school, great safety for the kids, reasonable and dedicated teachers, modern facility, I am very happy my two boys attend this school!
