"Dufrocq School is the worst magnet school in EBRP. Lets start with the staff, it is so hilarious that the staff cannot even read a single calendar date properly. When I submitted my child's typed absence letter, the staff could not follow simple English language and I had to explain the dates of absence. The staff comes out as rude but I don't think they are but they are just illiterate. Now faculty, abhorrent! I had my two babies in Dufrocq, one graduated from 5th grade and could not perform well in middle school with kids from other good magnet schools. And when I saw that I removed my other child from her third grade put her in Forest heights, she is way happier there. Kids deserve a better treatment, rich curriculum, elementary education is the foundation. Dufrocq not only delivers poorest curriculum in EBRP but the kids are very unhappy there. Dufrocq needs a serious overhaul!"

"90% of the school has very unprofessional teaching staff. Teaching is a challenging profession requires a balance of strict disciple and love. Dufrocq teachers think that they are following a strict disciple code but everything they do is creating a environment which is comfortable for themselves so, they can handle kids easily without much effort. Very threatening atmosphere for kids, by the time kids graduate Dufrocq they are morally damaged. More than academic skills a kids needs self-confidence. Having said that Dufrocq doesnot have a friendly and good school atmosphere for kids they also do not have any academic growth. On top of that there is no diversity at all. It is just an below average school, I have no idea how they manage magnet program:("
