All of my 4 children attended this school over 12 years. We had 4 principals in that time and almost a complete turnover of the staff. Every principal brought something different to the school. None was universally liked. All of my children were well prepared for middle school after Derfelt. We did get a few dud teachers over the years, but most of them were awesome.
