My third child is now attending Doby's Mill Elementary. My first child started the year that Doby's Mill opened. The staff genuinely care about the children and their potential. The teachers and aides are always coming up with new green projects. They were doing green projects from day one, long before other schools in our area. The awards they have won showcase the children and staff's efforts but my children's knowledge and confidence levels are the reason I vote them number 1!

I have noticed how the staff cares about the total development of the children. Parents, staff and community seem to have a great effect in helping this school strive to be the best.

Excellent school with strong family and community-oriented programs. Finalist for state's best school award; finalist for SIC award. Not much racial diversity, though (predominantly white) however, offers opportunities for all.

In 2003 when we moved from Richland County to Kershaw County, I was concerned about changing my child's school district. However, this will be her third and final year at Doby's Mill and we are looking forward to her 5th Grade Year. She loves attending the school. She strives to maintain good grades and does so with the assistance of this wonderful teaching staff. I love the art work displayed throughout the school.

My child has been at DME for three years. His test scores have soared and he loves going to school. He especially enjoys the technology programs offered. I am so glad I did not send him to a neighboring school in the area. The test scores are much better at DME also. I wish he could stay here through high school.
