Dan D Rogers Elementary School

"Dan D Rogers Principal Ms. Lisa Lovato she is very awesome, understanding and caring person. Thank you for all that you have done for my son. I really like what you have done with the school having chaperones to watch over the kids when there being dropped off. This makes me feel my son is in a safe environment. I'm looking forward to continue having my son attend Dan D rogers until his elementary graduation. I appreciate all that you have done."

"Both of my kids went there several years. I never had one complaint. All of the teachers and staff there were very hard working, professional, and attentive to my children, and patient even when my kids were not the best behaved kids in the class. I believe Dan D. Rogers is ran by strong, fair, and dedicated individuals all deeply caring and devoted to teaching and nurturing Dallas kids."

"My child has been bullied, punched in the face in the classroom, pushed down the stairs off of the bus and nothing has been done. I could very well pick up my child from the school, however, she enjoys riding the bus home. You never know when the bus is going to show up. The school bell rings at 245pm and the bus is scheduled to arrive at 310. giving less than a mile that should not be a problem. Numerous times the bus is late up to 30 minutes. On another instance after waiting at he bus stop until 415 (trying to get ahold of the school for 45 minutes) I finally reached someone who informed me that my child's bus never arrived to the school and they just found out it is running late. For over an hour I had no idea what was going on. No phone call, nothing. I would have gladly picked up my child from the school had I had known. When talking to the lady in the office with no identification, who refused to give me her name, she said "it was no big deal that parents weren't notified" Trying to work with the teachers is just a huge joke. When talking to one teacher, she laughed at the fact that I was concerned my child never had homework in her class and I never see completed class work come home. I was told if I felt she needed more development I needed to do it. My child is in the talented and gifted program, she has adequate knowledge for her age and grade, but she goes to school for a reason. The principle is disgusting the way she talks to parents and the children, and the clothing I have seen her wear to different performances is in no way appropriate for an elementary school. I can not wait to get my child out of this horrendous, unorganized school. Edit: I wanted to wait to edit this post until my daughter was out of this school forever. After his review I received a call from the principle yelling at me. She didn't like the review I left obviously. I was at work and gave her my email address and asked her to email me her concerns as I wasn't going to be yelled at especially not while I am in my place of business. She never sent an email. She did however send home a request to transfer schools with me daughter. I was at a school function with my daughter and the principal walked by and asked my daughter why she was still there, that she thought I was taking her out of that school. Completely inappropriate. I am so thankful to get my daughter out of that school and away from that negativity. I am curious as to how many others received angry phone calls after their reviews?"

"Rogers is a great school. I've got a chance to volunteer and attend to several meetings and I can see that they have the children's best interest at heart. My son's teachers Ms. Meakin and Ms. Flores are great! They really teach those kiddos to be the best they can be.. We love Rogers!"

"The principle at this school is a bully, so I can see where the other reviews are coming from, My granddaughter is in special needs, and they do everything possible to make school a bad experience. She speaks to parents in a rude disrespectful way. We had the same lease as last year, which is a month to month, and she made my daughter go to landlord and have a new lease drawn up before she would let my granddaughter go to class. Why? It was a legal binding lease. I dread this coming year, to have to deal with her. I do want to say the teachers are wonderful and caring, they make it worth the effort. This principle is horrible and needs to be replaced,"
