(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Charles Rice is one of the Best Schools in Dallas, Texas. I have five children and they all attended this wonderful school. The school is extremely well rounded with Academics at the center. The Principal is AWESOME and truly cares about the students.

- We love Charles Rice, its the best school my son has attended.Charles Rice has a lot of the same staff over the years. Charles Rice Helps the the children in so many ways. They give to the kids,(coat give away, Christmas programs). They have different programs for the children to participate in. The teachers that my child has had were all great and made sure that I was aware of the things my child was doing as well as learning. The teachers make sure that you have home phone numbers as well as cell phone numbers. I was able to contact the teachers at any given time when there was concern of my child. My child is learning more and more each day. Can't nobody do it like the RICE family.

- I love the school but the teachers can get getto and rude. They talk about the parents and I've heard them with my own ears. But as far as Learning it's an excellent school for education. This is the only school I know that's always wanting money for something. Most children there are low income and can't afford to participate in so many activities. They funraisers or jean day never pays for a chilkd that can't pay expenses.

- I was picking my child up from this school and witnessed whom I suppose was one of the special ed teachers literally dragging the one of the special students to the school bus. If that was my child, I'd be very angry.
I do agree that the principal and assistant principal both need to be fired, very unprofessional.

- During a visit to my grandson school I was not satisfied with the loud out burst and unprofessional behavior with some of the teachers I observed. The children are our future and every student doesn’t respond to loud tones and being scolded and belittled in front of their peers. As a parent and grand parent that was unacceptable. My concerns with this is simple, if the educators are speaking unprofessionally with our children we as parents and grand parents do not feel comfortable speaking with them about our concerns.

- I'M NOT SATISFIED WITH THE SCHOOL. I THINK DISD NEED TO REPLACE THE PRINCIPAL , ASST. PRINCIPAL , AND OTHER OFFICALS. DISD NEED TO EXAMINE WHO THEY HIRE THESE DAYS TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN, IT'S NOT FAIR TO TREAT A CHILD DIFFERENT JUST BECAUSE THIS CHILD HAS A DISABILITY PROBLEM AS WELL AS OTHER SIBLING THAT ATTENDS THE SCHOOL.
