My daughter has attended Dalton Elementary for the past six years. The teachers (except one) all go above and beyond for their students. A new principal, as well as a new Assistant Principal, started a few years ago and the staff has much better leadership than it had under the previous personnel. The key to improving students'' grades/performance is parental involvement. Too many parents are NOT involved in their child's education - they just drop them off and pick them up. Each month the PTSO meetings (usually) have less than ten parents in attendance. Mostly it is staff and the PTSO board at the meetings. This is an awesome school where your child's learning abilities are only limited by the amount the parent/parents is/are invested.
