Daggett Montessori

DMS is a great school, that you can't find a second school like this... I love the school so much as a parent. I get to involve many activities with the kids and teacher..

WE LOVE THIS SCHOOL. I have both a kindergartner and a first grader and I am so thankful we got in. The teachers have an open-door policy and seem to sincerely care about my children. My son's teacher puts her cell phone number on every note that comes home in his backpack and encourages parents to call it anytime. I mean, really... how awesome. I've never called her, but I love knowing I can. I was worried about the Montessori curriculum, not having a background in it, but have been blown away at the level of work both of my kids are doing. My 1st grader started the year reading on target, and is now reading at a third grade level, looking words up in the dictionary, learning fractions, and can add/subtract 4 digit numbers. My kindergartner couldn't read when he started and now with one semester under his belt is reading at a 1st grade level. He loves school and that's all a mom can ask for. ;) The kids go to art, music, computers and p.e. throughout the week, I don't know how it compares to other area public schools, but I'm impressed how much they are exposed to these programs. Overall, my kids are learning how to be self-starters and enjoy learning. I can't say enough.

This school is amazing! Because enrollment is based on a random lottery system it took us a while to get our kids enrolled. This gave us the opportunity to have something to compare to and Daggett Montessori far surpasses the other schools we have attended. The principal, vice principal, and the teachers see our kids as individuals and want nothing more than to see them engaged in learning and to create an environment that develops a love for learning. It is hard to find a public school like this when such an emphasis is put on standardized testing for the masses not the individuals. All of the teachers seems to truly love their jobs and it comes across to the kids who in turn seem to love learning. I can't say enough about this great school!

this school is a horrible experience for our child, the teacher always was had a violence psychological and always others kids were bulling to our child and the principal never do nothing to resolve the problem and always protect to this kind of teachers, please be careful because this is not the best school to children. never put them in this violence school.

I completely disagree with the previous review. Daggett Montessori is a fantastic school, with really a great principal and assistant principal! The teachers are great and work hard to make learning fun, interesting and personalized. Our son also had a problem with bullying, and they were on it immediately. They called conferences with the kids involved, and with teachers, my son and us. It was resolved. We can't say enough great things about this wonderful school. Great atmosphere and leaders who care a great deal about the students.

I grew up from kindergarten to eighth grade at Daggett Montessori. There isn't a second that I would take back. The montessori way is perfect for kids and made learning fun and interactive. Also, growing up surrounded by the same kids has given me life long friends.

Going to Daggett Montessori has been a wonderful experience for my children. The school has the community environment that i have previously found only in private schools. Parents, students, faculty, and staff work together to create a superior learning environment.

The school is the best in FWISD. The staff and facuilty is amazing the students love them so much. My child attended Daggett for middle school and I wish I would have enrolled him from Kindergarten. He worked with the Kindergarteners for his 8th grade year and had an oustanding time with them he loved it so much now everyday he tells me that he misses it. 'm just proud of that school

My 7-year-old who goes to Daggett Montessori sat down with his 4-year-old brother yesterday and wrote out a multiplication problem (1982 x 3) and completed it successfully. Then, he taught his brother, who is not even yet in pre-k, how to add on paper. This 7-year-old is in a 1/2/3 class at Daggett Montessori, and this one example illustrates the Montessori ways of students being able to learn up and having opportunities to practice teaching down. I am so proud that my 7-year-old not only is working way ahead in math but that he cares about teaching others and is gaining invaluable practice in articulating what he is learning with helping someone else in mind. Kudos to Daggett Montessori from a two-year-at-DMS parent.
