Dunn Elementary School Reviews

 
Dunn is an excellent school with the highest caliber of teachers and principal. The teachers and principal genuinely care about each and every one of the children. They go above and beyond what is expected of them each day to make sure each child is getting the highest quality education they can receive. It is truly each teacher and the principal's calling in life to be in that position, because they make a difference in the lives of each child and it shows. I have a daughter in middle school this year and she couldn't be more prepared after her years at Dunn. We love the school and its staff.

Dunn Elementary is a fabulous school!! I currently have 2 children at Dunn who have greatly benefited from the outstanding teaching instruction and superb guidance from the principal. Teachers are very caring and motivated. The entire staff wholeheartedly supports education and provides students with all the tools they need to succeed academically. Dunn also has an extremely involved PTA with highly committed parents. This outstanding combination of factors is what makes Dunn a school of excellence!!

I have visited many schools in the Louisville and surrounding areas and I have yet to see the dedication to our children that I see at Dunn Elementary. Dunn Elementary is truly a remarkable school in the Louisville community. Dunn has excellent teachers and attracts the better teachers because of the high quality student population and the willingness of the staff and parents to make things happen. I have 2 other children that graduated from the Oldham county school system and I can not compare the quality of teachers and staff to Dunn. They are truly dedicated to the education of our children. I would recommend Dunn Elementary to anyone who has a child in elementary school system.

I have 2 children who attended Dunn. They were both in the talented-gifted and advanced programs. Their achievement test scores were always in the highest percentiles. However, they were unhappy at Dunn. Their grades were average and their motivation was low. Some of the teachers and administrators were very good, but others were terrible. Several teachers have reputations for yelling and using obscenities in class. The teachers defy the principal's authority. There is a lot of politics involved in getting the best teachers. I often considered changing schools, but remained because Dunn was in our neighborhood. Now that my children are in middle school, they both like school, have great grades and have won many awards.

Having visited many schools in KY and elsewhere I would highly recommend Dunn Elementary School. Students are well behaved and eager to learn. Parents value education and support the school in many ways. Teachers are dedicated and professional in their dealings with students and parents. These three things are critical to ensuring a successful academic experience for children. High expectations are held for teachers and students and the support is provided for them to achieve at those high levels. Students love going to school at Dunn where they feel safe and valued as they learn and achieve at consistently high levels.

Dunn is clearly a desirable school, with an active PTA and involved staff. But, like all east-end Louisville elementaries, the student-teacher ratio is atrocious Other schools are similarly over-crowded, and there is only so much that can be done when teachers are facing classes of this size. Be thee aware ...

Dunn Elementary is truly a gem of a school in the Louisville community where many people focus on 'private' schools as the only option. Dunn has excellent teachers and attracts good teachers because of the high quality student population. Many high quality families attend this school and generously give of both their time and money. The school is able to afford many extracurricular activities, technology and arts programs because of its excellent PTA. I believe Dunn offers my two daughters an excellent education in a relatively diverse environment with many oportunities to pursue other interests. I highly recommend this school.

Dunn Elementary truly is a 'great school!' We are currently in our sixth year of having children at Dunn. My husband and I are very pleased with the education our children have received at Dunn. Dunn has a wonderful, caring, and very involved principal who puts the needs of the children first. We have seen an improvement in the quality of education and safety of the students each year that she has been at Dunn. We know of many parents who can afford to send their children to private school, but choose Dunn instead due to the excellent education they receive there. The parental involvement at the school is incredible. We have an outstanding PTA who provides much-needed technology, supplies, time and services to the school who like other KY schools is faced with difficult budgeting issues. I would highly recommend this school to any parent with elementary age children.

I have had children at Dunn Elementary for six years and have very high regard for the school, its staff and its PTA. One of my children struggles with a disability and each year I have had a lot of interaction with the teachers, counselor and principal. They all devote extra time and effort to improving his education and his self confidence. The parental support is top-notch with countless service hours and PTA involvement;in fact, it was recognized nationally as a PTA School of Excellence - the first in Jefferson County. The PTA's strength translates to improvements in school resources, such as sponsoring an artist in residence each year and offering students exposure to the performing arts as well. This is important due to budget cuts in these areas in public shools.

As a parent of a Dunn Elementary student, I couldn't be more happy with the quality of education that my child is receiving. I am an educator myself and feel that my child is receiving the best education that there is to offer. Dunn is an exemptional school, which is highly reflected in their continuously high test scores. The amount time and dedication that the faculty and staff put in to ensure that each child is being taught at their highest level of achievement is unprecedented. The school offers tremendous opportunities for the student to experience the arts in various ways, ranging from weekly Music and Art class, taught by a very qualified teacher, as well as an artist in residence. The physical education program as well as the computer program are top notch. I would have no reservations in recommended Dunn Elementary school as a great school!

As a parent of a Dunn Elementary school student, I am very pleased with the academic progress of my child. The teachers and staff at Dunn work extremely hard to ensure that each child is working to their highest level. Dunn offers many wonderful opportunities to experience the arts through their outstanding Arts and Humanities program. This program encompasses Music, as well as a wide variety of Art experiences. Dunn has also has, and will continue to offer the Artist in Residence program. Through this program students will receive additional Art opportunities,such as quilting, in addition to their weekly classes. It is definatly worth a trip to the school to see the finished products that have been published as a result of this. The Physical Education and Computer Programs are tops as well. I would never hestitate to recommend Dunn for an any of my friends or family members.

This School use to be one of my top picks for Elemantary School, but it is no longer of the fine quality that it once was. They use to have advance program that really pushed the advance kids, but now the current adminstration is more concerned with having everyone on the same level that the higher level childrens pace has fallen way back. This school use to offer Art, Music, Computer and Physical Education so that the school could serve all students but now it is getting rid of Art and saying that is is teaching Arts and Humanities, and the principal claims that they are still getting art but surely by a teacher that has taught music for 29 years and never taught art! It is a shame that in an age of knowing how people learn that this school would get rid of a specialist that really helps!
