This school is in a nice, quiet location, and has a large field and a nice outdoor play area for the kids. Physically, it's great and about as all-American as you get. However, the staff are incompetent and the test scores highlight this incompetence. We moved into this district thinking it was a great school. What we've witnessed is a school run by a young and clueless (...), and teachers that are equally incompetent. We can't wait to move our child out of this school for next year.

Yes, I believe this school to be an A+, exceptional school. You couldn't ask for a better set of teachers. The curriculum and the individual care each student receives is outstanding. My daughter is upset that her six years at Dondero have ended. I only hope the Middle School is half as good.
