Dassa McKinney Elementary School

Love the teachers, after school programs, tutoring, all the great advances with technology. I work an hour away because I want my children to attend this school. I've had nothing but pleasure sending my child to this school.

As a parent of 2 sons at Dassa, i am glad we choose this school district. i am a professsional, educated women and my children are getting the same education if not better than I did going to a private school. i have one child that struggles and all of his teachers keep a great line of communication open. My other child is a good student and does well without effort, but even his teachers keep in tough. my children are both very different one is and athlete the other is not and it doesn't matter they both enjoy school. As a parent it is my job to guide my children, I call the school if I have a question, i use ed line and i can even see what my child ate at lunch today. I am glad we choose this district and would recommend it to anyone.

The education at dassa I believe is a little bit above average. My 2 children do well in school ; however my oldest tells me on a daily basis she does not feel safe at school, and that worries me! The school bus ride has been a nightmare! There are so many very badly behaved children on their bus.They give these kids way to many chances. my child cries many days before getting on the bus and I live near the edge of the district and its to far to drive every day to take them myself. The teacher quality is above average! Most of the teachers I have encountered so far have been great and My children were lucky to have them. I'm not so impressed with the after school activities.

Sports and extracurricular activities are not supported by the school system. Parent involvement is not welcomed. When bad weather conditions hit they send the kids right out into the middle of it with little concerns for the drivers, teachers, and children safety. There are many issues in this school that need to be resolved throughout the entire system.
