I love this school because teachers never quit on a student. I'm currently at the school I'm in the 8th grade and what I love most about the school is the students and my class mates they all except everyone for who they are. students are not judged on their back ground or religion everyone is respected and treated fairly. students are also recognize for good deeds and rewarded. I'm an 8th grade student soon to be a fresh men and I wish the school had a high school and I highly recommend this school to every student.

They focus on minor things, and forget the main goal of schools. Their teachers are below average but their office staff and administration are terrible. I won't recommend it,

I'm a student at TDA and I love it the kids are very nice and smart 2 in particular are extraordinary. The teachers are great they even stay after school to help those who are struggling, I am very happy with the decisions they make like fireing a unhelpful teacher which many students didn't like. Overall the school is great and the teachers are awesome consider yourself lucky to have found this school in 2015 or even later because I'm sure it will improve later in the future.

The schools has new changes introduced to its functional activities and this makes it look good to the community. More programs, like sports, have been introduced and the students enjoy attending. Go Dolphins!

I dislike one of the middle school teacher , I'm not a fan of her because she has her favorites, its not fair to the students.

My 3 kids go here, I love the ethnicity factor. A+ on that. Most teachers are great however there are bad apples that do not belong! My son was doing great until middle school, he is special needs and had issues with bullying and was even called a lost dog by a teacher! Unbelievable. I want to pull my kids out but worry they won't do will in a larger school.... I don't blame the principle and office workers for the mishap with the bullying teacher, I'm one to focus in weeding out the bad apples (teachers) so a Huge turn over doesn't bother me as long as they keep working to get it right!

I am a student who attended TDA for 3 years 6-8. Even though its a small school there are many talented students. The teachers are like the students best friends they are very caring and push you to the fullest. Teachers also stay after school for those who need help which is very helpful. The staff is very organized. I seen some reviews and was disappointed, BUT notice the years those reviews were written today is August 31st 2013. TDA has improved alot over the years. I would gladly recommend this school to anyone a friend relative the neighbors. The teachers and staff work very hard to see these students improve and go all the way out just to see them succeed. Not one year I have had in TDA that I don't regret. One Wish I do have is that they make a high school.
