We are a new family who moved from New York to Illinois in October last year. When I was choosing a school, I requested to visit the school before deciding on which school district we should live. However, the school administrator basically say that there is no school visit allowed. I found this strange as we have moved to different places before and allowed to visit the school to make a decision. At the end, I decided to go to DJW because of the good statistics, but unfortunately, again and again I am disappointed with the school policy or the care we have received. First, as a new student, there is no orientation for the parents on the academics at the school. I was not told of the different pathways and where my daughter is placed. The interaction between teachers and my daughter is uneventful, none of the teacher aspires her to do better, except for meeting expectation. They claim that the have excellent music education, the band is barely performing half of the ability of my daughter elementary school in NY. Sure, they are excellent in math and readings, but this is not because of the school or teacher ability. A lot of competitive parents send their kids for extra lesson outside the school. When my daughter emailed teachers, she get no response. When she tried to advocates for herself, she got treated like an elementary school student. I wonder if the statistics is a truly reflection of the school or just parents engagement.

Daniel Wright is an exceptional school, the kids are all very kind, and the teachers are fun, humorous, and knowledgeable. I love the extra-curricular activities, from volleyball to Science Olympiad, there's plenty of things to do. We even got first in nationals in Science Olympiad. I love going to this school!!!
