This school is a complete mess. I try to call the staff, they never answer you or call you back for things like my child's IEP. Like, I would never send my child here again. I have made the big mistake ever in my life and my child's.

As a former alumnus, I have ties to this school in more than one way. I am a parent of a graduating senior and am happy with the progress that she has made while attending Dunbar. Like most schools in our nation, the school is not perfect. There are some changes that would make the school better, but I am still impressed with the academics. The principal, teachers, and suppot staff make the school a great place to learn. They work tirelessly to make sure that our children receive a high quality educational experience. It is a school that nurtures the entire child and I am proud to be an alumnus and a parent of a soon do be alumnus.
