Two granddaughters we raised attended Dartmouth and both received the extra assistance they needed to be successful. Great leadership and teachers. Wonderful PTA and good parental participation. Remodeled school, Outdoor Learning Center, and neighborhood support.

We have had a great experience at Dartmouth! When our beloved Principal left I was sad and worried for the community! However, Mrs. Marx is incredible. She is such a wonderful addition to an already amazing community and great teachers!
