GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My son's teachers and administrators care about him. They work hard for all students. The school is very diverse and is a Title 1 school. The building is getting a little old but they work hard to keep it looking nice and inviting on the inside. Go take a tour of the school.

We have loved this school! The principal is wonderful and very involved. The teachers we have had truly love and care about their students. Every year I have been pleasantly surprised by the teacher-student ratio. Our children have loved their time at DRES!

This is by far the worst school my children have ever been in! The bullying and racial slurs that my children went through is unbelievable.
