Durham Elementary School is the most amazing elementary school. The teachers are excellent and make you feel like they care about your child and his/her education. My children and I feel that we were very fortunate they got to attend Durham Elementary School
My child has excelled with the programs at DES not only academically but socially as well. DES teachers are wonderful and caring, the only concern I have is the overall administration with the district. The new superintendent has made many poor decisions for the district and is a poor communicator. I hope that DES staff can endure her poor decisions and it doesn't gravely effect DES students. I watched many HS students at board meetings last year who were emotionally crushed last year due to the superintendent's very poor decisions and lack of communication.
Durham Elementary school has a loving environment, high quality academics, and a large amount of efficiant volunteers. DES is a community supported school with an amazing amount of parent support. An all around great school that offers art and music (5th gr.) in the curriculum.
Durham provides top-rated learning environment. The quality is high because all of the teachers have a passion for what they do here. Each child is accounted for and each staff member works as a team with each other to benefit the children. VAPA(Visual and Performong Arts) is a unique and enriching experience for the children. Art, music, and drama is taught by a highly qualified teacher(who deserves the teacher of the year nomination!) who has extensive knowledge and experience in this area. The level of parental involvement is out of this world. It is amazing at the difference of the classes in which has more or less parental involvement. Parental involement is crucial to the child's success. The teacher's welcome the parents and they have a great working relationship. This school shines for teacher spirit and their love for the children shows with the most comprehensive education this county offers.
