"I am surprised at some of the reviews here. My son entered K in Fall 2011, and the PTA is anything but "hapless." There have been too many fun events for me to even attend all of them (dance party, walkathon, science night, grade level dinner and more). The PTA has met it's general fund goal, and the auction is next week--$60K in donations so far and counting, according the weekly newsletter. If you are a DFES parent who wants to be involved, there is plenty to do and your help would be welcomed, as that was my experience! My son is doing really well--already reading, making friends. The focus on kindness and Caring School Community guidelines have worked well for us and we use it to address any social issues that come up. Among the academic highlights: UCSF scientists came in to his class, and brought a real preserved human brain, (my son came home talking about it and I thought he was making it up, until I read the teacher's weekly update and saw it was true!) They taught a lesson on the brain, and came back later to do another lesson on snails. His teacher seems dedicated, is great about communicating with us--I really can't find anything to complain about."

"There is a big bullying problem at this school and the principal does not handle it very well. Also a couple of disaster teachers that parents can't seem to rid of. The campus is great, but an unusual amount of families leave the school due to its poor leadership and problems."

"The School is A joke because the principle should be no more than a janitor at best!!!. No skills what so ever. I wonder why the school system is so broken? Because people like her are hired as Principles! No Leader ship skills. I don't know where to begin."

"A day doesn't go by when I am not grateful that my two children are at DFES. We were welcomed into the school community as an incoming K family and the feeling has not changed three years later. The teachers & staff are dedicated & amazing (2010-11 API score just grew to 889, up 28 points!) and the Principal has been supportive whenever I've worked with her. It's amazing what the PTA & SSC has accomplished. We have a lot of dedicated parents who give their time to supporting & improving our school. Of course we could use more volunteers, but what school doesn't? We are so lucky to have such an amazing campus, too. Overall, we could not be happier -- more importantly, our children are engaged and thriving."
