Rating 3.86 out of 5 776 reviews
Attending a DISD school was okay. Food choices are bad and make children more tiring. Teachers are more concerned on phones than giving actual work and grading on time.
My experience with my district has been rocky. With such a big district we didn't Preallyhave the best of anything but, my teachers were amazing! Every single teacher I've come into contact with while being at DISD are the most dedicated , loving, and open-minded. They have all in a way inspired me to become a teacher , they're the reason I want to teach. DISD might not have all the money or the best resources but their educated make up for it.
At Dallas independent school district I like the teachers almost all of them love their jobs and are very dedicated. I also love that we have a bilingual superintendent who can communicate with others and he is very enthusiastic about all of the event going on . Here at Dallas ISD there are 230 schools and they may be a lot, but the superintendent and his tea of advisors work together very well to keep everything organized. I also really like that they have weekly meetings and that these meetings are available to the public through Facebook. Another thing that I like and that is super important is that they have volunteers and they encourage students to participate. As a student in disd I participated in many events and activities and I had a lot of fun!
