This school is supported by the neighboors of Peoples Town, Summerhill and all of NPU-V. Please look for great things over the next few months from our community and the students of DH Stanton.

In spite of recent media attention, D.H. Stanton's staff is committed to excellence in education. The structure and foundation provided more than meets the need of each student. As with all schools, each parent is should invest in their child's academic success. The relationship necessary for success is interdependent on each stakeholder (child, parent and teacher)

This is a horable school. The halways have ants, the restrooms have roaches. They never have homework, but when it's spring they have 125 pages to do in a packet.

My child is a 3rd grade student. This year, I was pleased with the reading program at D. H. Stanton. Throughout the year, they held programs to inform parents about reading and how to work with your children at home on the computer. I felt good helping my son at home to improve his reading. He passed the CRCT! I owe all to Mr. Freeman and the reading teacher Ms. Taylor.
