As a parent, I couldn’t be happier with this elementary school. The teachers genuinely care about each child's development, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. My child is excited to learn every day, and I appreciate the strong sense of community and support that makes this school truly special.

DOES is a fantastic school that has amazing teachers and leadership. When my daughter transferred here in 1st grade in the middle of the school year from another state, the teacher did an amazing job to make her feel welcomed and catch her up. She fit right in and really enjoyed her learning both online and in person. The principle does a great job of communicating to parents and I appreciate the efforts of the PTO to have fun activities for the students. Now in 2nd grade and back on campus she is doing really well and continuing to thrive. The teachers really care about the students and continue to encourage and challenge them. They are doing the best they can and working hard maneuvering in this pandemic time and am so thankful to them.

Really warm and welcoming staff in a beautiful facility. The Principal is so accessible, knows the students by name and is always around with a smile. My son's teachers have been very attentive and really invested in his academic growth. I compared many private schools before we decided to move to allow our children to come to Dayton Oaks. Very happy with the decision!

My 4th grader has been in this school since kindergarten. I have loved every teacher he has had- they are hard working and caring. He is challenged and nurtured here. They have a great gifted program, after school programs and parent teacher association. The principal and assistant principal are very involved. Bullying is taken very seriously. Community is great. My kindergartener started this year and initially had not wanted to leave his pre-K montessori but fell in love with DOES instantly.
