Its ok with the teachers and staff they are real nice but its just a big hassle to buy school uniforms
As a parent I never feel welcome at the school. The office staff are very cold and at times rude. The principle make appearances at school events but it never there very long. The principle ia also very cold and unwelcoming. the entire school year is spent to prepare for testing and that is all that they care about. My daughter's art teacher didn't tell her that she reccommended her for the gifted art class until after she didn't sign up for it the next year and it was too late to change. My daughter never did anything in that 7th grade art class that she didn't do in her 2nd grade class in St. Louis. WHen you talk to the teachers, most of the time you get the feeling that you are invading their domain.
Dexter Middle is a very good school. The administrators and teachers care a great deal about the students. I know what a bad school is and it is not Dexter Middle. My daughters love the school as well. There is some room for improvement as with anything in life. Overall I know that the teachers do all that they can for the students.
Dexter Middle School is a GREAT school. The teachers and the administrators do a great job considering the circumstances. The parents that made negative comments are probably those that are not involved or those that think that their students are perfect. There are no perfect students/parents and therefore there are no perfect schools. PTA is available for all parents wanting to be involved in school activities. Our enrollment is low. This school year, we have had Open House, Curriculum Night and Parent Teacher Conferences. The same parents and students show up every time. It is easy to sit back and say what a school is not when one is not actively involved in helping to make the school and your student what they could be.
