I'm a student so here is my view, this school is amazing. Let me answer some questions you may have…read more How many schools are in Townview?? There are 6 schools in Townview 1.Talented and Gifted (TAG) the smartest 2.school of engineering (SEM) 3. School of law (JBS Law magnet) 4. High school of health professions (HSHP) my school 5. School of business management (SBM 6. Education and social services (ESSM) Is this school hard?? Yes it is, and depending on which school you go into it may be even harder. For example TAG is harder overall than HSHP. They get more work and have high standards over all. Though some schools may have higher standards all the school are great and each holds their students to what they believe to be a reasonable academic goal. Is it hard to get in?? Yes and no, it has gotten easier which is a complaint I have. The class size has gone up so it is "easier" to get in. But it is in no way easy to get in. You still have to prepare and deliver on all the entry requirements and if even then nothing is guaranteed. Personally I love this school it prepares me perfectly for the future I want and sets me on the math to make my dreams into reality. All the teachers are great at their job so if you aren't doing good in a class that's on you because I know the teachers do all they can to help you succeed. From tutoring times to giving out their emails so you can ask questions at any times. If you come to Townview and are willing to put in the work then the teachers will be sure to help you get where you want to go and end up with that dipping your hand. Hope to see you here one day if you are considering applying- Diego class of 2021

DallasISD announced that, as of this year, ALL students have the option of getting FREE breakfast…read moreAND lunch regardless of economic situation; not even a form to sign! I was gleeful... my HS daughter, was another story, her response, "Caf food is awful!" "Awful" seemed a bit extreme, but this is young person who typically has a lunch bag packed with hummus, tabbouleh and feta cheese chunks with naan bread and fresh fruit salad. But, with an entire year of FREE LUNCHES on the table, I had to check it out for myself. The meal was not bad for the $3 'civilian' rate I paid! Jumbo Fish Stick on wheat bun, beans, lime rice, mac n cheese all rather flavorful; but the canned fruit... not so much. The fish was actually FISH, not like the 'fish product' of yore! It flaked like fish, had a lightly crunchy crust and wasn't greasy at all. It possibly was baked! I fixed it up with Sriracha sauce and Ranch dressing. They get major creds for the service bar (fresh orange infused iced water) with a nice assortment of condiments! Not just salt/pepper, ketchup/mustard; there were bottles of lime juice, Sriracha sauce, BBQ sauce, Cajun, Ranch & Balsamic dressings and more! I certainly didn't have it this good at my HS cafeteria! The 'Kiddling'? She will be enjoying the culinary benefits of my school tax dollars this year! What we save will go towards Restaurant Week 2015, YAH! ABOUT THE TOWNVIEW CAMPUS... This campus is one of the best kept secrets in the often maligned DallasISD system.

Brentfield Is a magical place. My son began there in the middle of fourth grade when we transferred…read moreto Dallas with AT&T from San Antonio. It was a huge change for all of us but especially for him. I don't care about Commended This and Blue Ribbon That, I care about my son living a fulfilling life. Brentfield is the only school where someone knew more about autism than I do. Principal Steve Lemons is a diplomat. He supports his teachers tremendously but he also acknowledges their flaws. He knows the name of every child, he greets them, he is no stranger to the cafeteria. He was born to be an elementary school principal. Absolutely.

Our family loves this school! We have 2 children at Brentfield, and we have had a great…read moreexperience. Every year we feel like we hit the teacher jackpot. They are great educators, and they go above and beyond with individual needs of the kids. We moved specifically to this area for the school and has exceeded our expectations. My kids love going to school every day and they are learning so much. Another great aspect to the school is the community between parents, teachers and staff. Our family feels extremely connected to the Brentfield community.

My son has learned so much and has grown so much at the school. When he started, he was very sad and hated to leave us, but after about a week he was happy to go to school, hugged the teachers, and didn't want to leave. The administration is also awesome! Unfortunately, we moved back to Virginia. We wish we could have brought the school with us. It is definitely our favorite thing about Dallas.

My wife & I and our two sons bounced around Dallas-Fort Worth quite a bit during our sons' earliest…read moreschooling years, leading us to 4 houses - and 6 (six!) schools - in just a few short years' time. Looking back on our experience, there is absolutely no question in my mind that the 2+ years we spent with St. Christopher's were the best for not only our boys (now 5- & 6-years old), but our whole family. From the smart, personable, and observant teachers, to the diverse (international!) feel of the community, to the bright & welcoming atmosphere created by Becky and the front desk staff, St. Christopher's truly raised the bar for our expectations of a school & faculty. Prior to finding St. Christopher's, our boys had attended both Montessori and non-Montessori schools in the White Rock Lake/Lake Highlands areas, and they've attended 3 other schools (1 Montessori, 1 public, and 1 private) in Dallas & Rowlett since. Being a part of so many different schools (not all of which were bad, by the way!) has taught us to appreciate the "small" things (hygiene!, front desk friendliness, student diversity, parental involvement) as well as the "big" things (safety/security, curriculum, communication, caring & nurturing atmosphere). St. Christopher's gave us all of those things and then some. As parents, we always felt welcome, and we rested assured knowing that our children were being exposed to cool neat things (languages, art, etc.) and ideas by people who cared about them & their respective development (our boys are pretty different from one another!). When my wife & I finally settled down in Rowlett (20 miles east of Dallas), our biggest regret was that we'd have to leave St. Christopher's - and even then, we made the daily 2-hour commute until we couldn't take it anymore. If you have the opportunity to send your kids here, I truly can't recommend it highly enough. It's the best, most nurturing and inspiring school we came across. Best wishes to you & your family, and I hope your experience is as good as ours was! :)

Both of our daughters had a great year, one in kindergarten and one in Pre-K. The teachers were kind, patient, caring, and had such a special influence on the kids. You can truly see how much they love and encourage each child. One thing I really loved was how well they paid attention to each child's strengths and areas where they needed support. The progress reports and updates were always timely and helpful, and it was amazing to see how much growth happened throughout the year. Communication with the teachers and staff was also wonderful. Anytime I had a question, I always received a response quickly, usually in less than an hour, which meant so much as a parent. We also loved the principal, teachers, and staff. From the classroom to carpool, everyone was always so welcoming and cheerful. They greeted the kids with big smiles and truly treated them like their own. Our girls grew so much this year, both academically and personally, and we will always be thankful for the love, support, and positive impact ORLS had on our family. We highly recommend this sweet school community!

As you can imagine it is not the most ideal (is it ever?) to send a newborn to daycare. They have exceeded my expectations in every way. Every single employee is so pleasant to talk to. Their communication has been seamless. I am not able to physically meet her teachers, but we have had zoom calls and they have an amazing app that they send constant pictures and videos throughout the day. They do such a fantastic job at trying to figure out this whole new norm we are living in. Most importantly you can tell they loveeeeeee the kiddos. Genuinely love and are happy. I toured quite a few daycares and you can tell when employees are not happy. I could ramble on about all the great things, but you get the point. If you're looking for childcare in the area I HIGHLY suggest to check them out!
