What school district is Dumbarton Elementary School part of?
Overall I thought this an okay school, but the issues I have are the teachers don't really want to be teachers they try to treat your children like they are there parents. What happened to teachers that want to see your children be all that they can be and encourage them. I have had some teachers say petty things like my child is too talkative in class but he has was on Honor Roll since 1st grade. And also when your child has an issue with a classmate they tell you after the fact or you have to find out about it when your child comes home, teachers and staff need to be more proactive with incidents.
