My son started kindergarten this year and so far I'm happy with the faculty members.

Their is always staff there in the morning to help the children find what they need. I've only came to the cafeteria once while the children were having lunch the cafeteria ladies walking around seem not to have much patience when it comes to the kids that would be my only concern. I love knowing when they have events for the kids and they do a good job sending kids home with flyer's( my son comes home excited to get involved with school events). We were very lucky when it came to his kindergarten teacher shes great.

This school has, by far, been the school which has managed to touch and change my daughter like…read morenone has ever been able to. When someone thinks of what the mission for an educational establishment should be: this school embodies it fully. Everyone, from the janitor to the principal has got one primary goal: making young minds thrive and enthusiastic about knowledge and learning. Mr Newton (the wonderful principal of this great school) truly loves each and every single one of the students that cross the school's halls every day. He has ZERO tollerance for bullying and just as strongly believes that good behavior should be noted and encouraged. As far as teachers go... my daughter has been nurtured, and made to bloom by the most amazing and caring teacher i have ever know: Mrs. Abila. She has managed to turn a shy and afraid little girl who NEVER raised her hand or asked questions, into a strong and confident little woman. To these people i say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!!

Clack is one of Abilene's Middle Schools. While i personally don't think it is run as efficiently…read moreas Dyess Elementary, I do believe that they still are doing a pretty good job. The staff is always available for any doubt/concern a parent may have. Particularly efficient are the counselors, always attentice and perceptive to the needs of the students. I would like to personally give some HUGE kudos to the ESL program and teacher, Ms. Marshall, essential to an ever growing international community, it provides the safest and most thriving environment for those students whose only need is to be nurtured and made to bloom. Also worth a merit mention is Ms. Josselet's English class, being able to work on PCs, comfortably read books on poofs, interact both with the teacher and other students in a relaxed environment makes progressing in one's class a truly intuitive and positive experience. The structure is very efficient, the diversified timetable provides a safe environment for younger students, preventing (for the most part) bullying from older stundents. The bully report form is also a great deterrent. I find having to fast-paced walk (no running allowed) from one end to the other of the school risking a tardy a bit too strict but i guess with so many students, discipline is the key. I really approve of the tutoring, offered either before or after normal school hours, free of charge to allow students to have passong grades All in all, this school deserves a solid 4-stars.

3 of my kids go to Wylie Highschool, the other day there was a tar leak, causing my kids to get…read moresick and have headaches. Instead of them sending the kids home, their school principal made an announcement saying that there is nothing they can do and went back to doing classes as normal. Tar smells just like gasoline because, they are both petroleum based products, which is know to make people extreme sick by inhaling the fumes!!!! How can I feel like my kids are safe when they are inhaling toxic fumes and getting physically sick at their own school!!! Who's gonna protect the kids if their own principal isn't!!!

The Academy is run by Miss Carol she and her staff have the kids safety and security and the educational needs in hand. We get calls from around the world of military families that have heard of our Academy, and with their transfer back to Dyess, they want their children enrolled. It is truly amazing to hear of the world wide calls and the happiness of their enrollment. Rooms are age specific and designed for education. Great staff, gear facilities and a new covered playground with complete building surround to keep the kids safe. This puts a great start on learning and builds our future with a great educational foundation.
