I think Dillard Elementary School is wonderful. My second child is starting the first grade and she can't wait. Both my girls loved it and did very well there. The teachers and staff are wonderful. My oldest daughter started school in NY and when we moved to florida, only then did she begin to like school. I have only positive experiences with their teachers. Keep up the great work!!

I am very disappointed in Dillard Street Elementary School. My child's 2nd grade teacher cannot control her classroom and has the children climbing around in the bathrooms. The classroom is more of a try to control the unruly children than it is about teaching. Whenever I talk to the teacher, she speaks to me in a very condesending tone, treating me like a lower person who just doesn't know anything. I only want what is best for my child and I know that Dillard Street is not worthy of the government money they receive via our taxes. I am not a person who likes to intervene, but, when I hear what is going on in the classroom and verify it with the teacher (while she talks down to me - like I don't have a college degree) I cannot accept this environment for my child.

I have had children at DSES for three years now, including one in ESE. This is a fantastic school that has nothing but the children's best interest at heart. The principal has changed, but Mr. Shanoff, the new prinicipal, has continued to provide excellent leadership in forming tomorrow's community leaders.

Dillard St Elementary is a school where teachers go the extra mile to make sure that the students are learning. The school is small enough that it feels like a closeknit community. Thank you Mr. Bixler and Miss Recca, you are the best administrators I've ever known.

Top quality teachers who truly care. Those at Dillard Street strive to see each child as an individual and help them meet with success on a daily basis. Mr. Bixler (principal) and Miss Recca (assis. prin.) know our children, make sure school is a safe and inviting environment they want to come to each day. Thank you Dillard!

Dillard is a corner stone to the community of Winter Garden. We are blessed to have Mr. Bixler and his wonderful team, for our children to learn from. Thank you for your time and dedication to our children of Winter Garden. DG

Winter Garden is growing and they've added a brand new school building. Some of my daughter's teachers have been exceptional--and she was able to maintain the same teacher and class for both second and third grade. They are an A school, but watch out...some teachers will teach to the test to keep that grade.
