K. Dunn is an excellent school. The teachers and support staff are kind, respectful, and supportive of all students and their families. My daughter loves to go to school each day. The office staff is top notch. If you have questions or concerns, they are ON IT. The school and the neighborhood are safe and have a real community feel. We love it.
