"Dessie Evans really feels like an extended family. The staff truly cares about the kids, whether in school or their home lives. So lucky to have my kids be Owls! #BeTheOne"

"Dessie is a great school. They work really hard with every student and honestly care. So many of the staff have formed relationships with the students. The PTA is also amazing. They put a lot of time and effort into events, etc for the school."

"Beat school I've ever seen and I've seen many! I have special needs children and I disagree with the lower score for special needs students. I've waivered my kids into Dessie specifically for what they offer."
