This school used to be great but over time it slowly got worse and worse. There is an overwhelming amount of one race and very less minorities. The teachers and all are great but the students that go here really leave a bad impact.

We love DRES! The administration and teachers are very caring and supportive. It seems like everyone knows my daughter by name. We often see the staff out in our community and my daughter calls out to them to say hi. You can definitely tell they're fostering a community mindset. They also focus on the whole child and not just academics- my daughter brings home many of her calming and focusing techniques.

My daughter attended this school 2013-15. She was happy there. However, if it weren't for the paraeducators who looked after my daughter very well, I would have rated the school "bad." The car pool pick up situation was HORRIBLE. I waited at times for 45 minutes and when I got to the front of the line, NO ONE bothered to get my info so they can bring my daughter to me. I had to get out of the car a few times. Once I saw my daughter right in front of me. I waved but the teacher did not see me, so I got out to grab her and got spoken to like a criminal from the principal. My daughter's teacher was cold to me the entire year (2014-15). My theory is that this may be a racist school. It has great reviews but yet I was treated like a second class citizen by many members of the staff. Hopefully the car pool situation has gotten better. If not, they should visit Guilford Elementary to see how it should be done properly.

My daughter has been at Deep Run since 1st grade and will be finishing 5th grade this year. We adore this school! All her teachers have been amazing, no issues with any staff! I would recommend this school to anyone!

I have 2 kids at Deep Run we are currently moving because we have out grew our house. It is very hard to get into this top of the line school, so if you are considering moving to this school you better do it fast. The teachers are wonderful and you will never want to leave the school. I will greatly miss Deep Run.

DRES is a phenomenal school with a wonderful, dedicated staff and exceptional leadership from the Principal and Vice Principal. My oldest daughter began attending DRES in 4th grade and quickly acclimated to the higher standard of learning after coming from another county where the curriculum wasn't as challenging. Now my youngest daughter is in K5 and is learning 1st grade/2nd grade math & reading concepts and was placed in an accelerated math class and reads on a 2nd grade level. All students are given the skills to learn new and challenging concepts while being encouraged to do their best even if they haven't quite grasped the concepts being taught. Truly an environment that embodies the core meaning of "No Child Left Behind". Sadly, redistricting will move my youngest to another school next year---another excellent school, mind you---however, the connections that our family have made with the staff over the last 3 years will be missed.

My daughter is a first grader at DRES, about half way through the year, and her entire class (yes every student) is being taught at a second grade level for both math and reading. Some reading comprehension and math problems are third and fourth grade level. Almost the entire class has risen to one full grade level ahead, and those that are struggling with above grade skills are getting additional attention from the teacher. Math is being taught the way the Japanese teach math; i.e. counting groups of things instead of 1, 2, 3, 4 on fingers. My daughter's teacher is the team leader for first grade, and all first grade teachers are adopting the methods because of the amazing results with her students. My daughter is very happy. She draws p[ictures for Mrs. K and takes them in as a gift for her on Mondays. I'm very happy!
