Dalton Middle School

I have had 3 children go through Dalton Middle School and each received an excellent education. They were not athletes, but did still participate in some sports. I don't recall any student ever being denied the opportunity to play sports because of money. Teams often have limited space and rosters can only be so big. Students may be cut for lack of skill, but never lack of money.

I would like it where if you don't have much money you can still. play any sports.

Dalton Middle School has provided an excellent education for my children. The teachers are caring and do all they can to help children succeed. The principal is professional, approachable and has the students' best interest at heart. Sports are a big emphasis at DMS, but music, art and drama are also encouraged.

Dalton Middle School is a very good school. I believe that people need to keep in mind that there is a very diverse student base at the middle school when they are looking at test scores. The teachers are excellent. This school is run like a well oiled machine. The office staff works hard to make the parents feel welcomed and informed. DMS has been my children's favorite school.

Dalton Middle is like most schools in our area. They are struggling with balancing the influx of the hispanic population and teaching them and the American students. Test scores will be lower in a school with 50% to 60% foreign population than a school with 10 to 20% foreign. For example English and Lanquage Arts will certainly be lower due to the slower pace of teaching of the foreigners. So test scores don't always show the truth you have to go behind the scenes. All in all Dalton Middle is a fine school with well trained educators.

The Building is nice, but the school overall is struggling with debt. The challenge program has many good teachers with the exception of maybe one. The attitude of the school could definately be improved. I would not send my child there if given the choice.
