My daughter is currently attending Daniel Run Elementary. The teachers are wonderful. The teachers are well-organized, pro-active and excellent in communicating up-to-date information with the parents. The administrative staff are also very knowledgeable and helpful.

My son attended Daniels Run K-4 ... overall, we had a positive experience and absolutely loved the teachers. We struggled with 4th grade, as the teacher was new and inexperienced. We were fortunate, however, that the new teacher's mentor teacher was my son's amazing 3rd grade teacher! We made the hard decision to leave DRE, as my son was accepted into the AAP program for 5th & 6th. DRE is a beautiful school, updated, always very clean. The teachers care about their students and take the time to follow up with parents with areas of concern. We couldn't have been happier and Daniels Run! Well run school!!

My child attended this school from K-5th grade. We were honestly not happy with the school, the teachers and the amount of attention given to students to help them learn and excel. My child struggled with math and history the entire time. The teacher's solution was to always say they need to work more at home. My child is now attending another school in the same county, which has much higher test scores, and is already comprehending more. It was very frustrating to speak with the teachers and explain that your child is struggling, and then to be told they must do more at home. They need to focus more in class so the children are able to comprehend and complete the homework assignments without so much stress and frustration. I would also like to see more communication between teachers and parents when a child is obviously struggling in a subject.
