This school was great! The teachers were very helpful and tried hard to understand and relate to you. The only complaint I have is that they let loose on some rules. The dress code and bullies ARE enforced, but some other ones could use some more discipline. Also, the environment is not very friendly. I still love this school and would recommend it!

I went to Daggett, it was the best middle school ever and me and my friends had a lot of fun. This year the foot ball team won two games and scored one game after 4 years of loosing.

This school is awsome, i dont know about all of people out there.My kid is one of the best ones,but we need to have a little bit more strict rules, but the rest are great. I recommend this school if you want your child to have a future!!

Daggett is a horrible school !!The principles, teachers would do absolutely nothing about the bullies they have at the school. After a year and a half we left due to all of the bullies. They say they have 0 tolerance for bully behavior. They need to read their own handbook.! No sports! Check out their recent test scores!! Going downhill fast!

I currently have an 8th grader in this school. He makes poor grades. It is difficult to institute any sort of responsibility directing discipline because the teachers do not enforce due dates on assignments. I know this is a fact from the near semesterly meetings I ask for. I understand these educators do not have an easy job, I also understand this lack of enforcement is due to most parents complaining any time their child is expected to participate to any sort of standards, but I imagined the teachers would know better. My 8th grades still reads at the same level as he did when he entered this school in the 6th grade, and this lack of advancement can be seen in every subject he has taken in this school. In this case, stricter rules would do this school a lot of good.

It's the only middle school in Fort Worth that I know of that has a campus newspaper. Daggett is a good, solid school with a great sense of its history.

For the most part, Daggett has some great teachers and staff. I am especially familiar with the Reading teachers. They were willing to help the students and not just the test.

I think that Daggett Middle School is one of the best schools in the district. While I was attending this school, I was really getting prepared for high school. The teachers are really great,especially Mrs. Frieda Lee. I would recommend Daggett M.S. to any parent having trouble picking a middle school for their child.

Daggett middle school is a great school and provides an excellent education for my children. I would reccomend this school to anyone and rate it at a 10 being the highest. I love Daggett and my children enjoy it there.
