Alright Im just gonna keep it 100 with you I know if you scroll down past (or up) from my review…read moreyou'll probably see some terrible 1 star reviews about this school (not saying they aren't valid) but I'd like to let the record show that most of those horrible things that are in this school's past, and under the new leadership with Mrs. Graham, things are now looking a lot different. Like a lot a lot different I'm currently a Junior at this school so this is my 3rd year here and I've honestly seen a lot of the negative things the other people mentioned, drugs and iPad addictions and all that, and you guys would be shocked what happens when new leadership (along with smaller enrollment) comes into play. When I was a freshman, I saw a lot of the bad that DL had to offer, with the things I mentioned earlier, along with an overall confusion because I thought this was supposed to be a Christian school. BUT now all that has changed under Mrs. Graham, because with the new rules she put in place along with a small amount of kids it does seriously look a lot better from the perspective of a student who is really involved with many different activities and having the privilege of talking to people here every single day. Yeah, Dallas Lutheran isn't perfect (I think that goes without saying), but I do sincerely believe this school is better than the alternatives, especially if you are a family who values a Christian education more than anything else. I went to a Christian school for my entire life (loved my other one too btw), and one thing I've seen in both schools is that the faculty does truly care about Jesus. We have chapel 1 time a week and theology class 3 times a week, in which we can have meaningful conversations with our teacher and classmates, and if God calls you, to even speak at chapel! (I've done it a couple times its super cool.) But at the end of the day, people are very flawed (even the great ones that go to Dallas Lutheran) and I'm sure there have been many people who have horrible experiences with students/teachers here, but seriously I can't emphasize enough how much change I've seen in my 3 years here Mrs. Graham and the entire staff might be actual superheroes. Dallas Lutheran is special for a lot of things, but honestly my favorite is the family aspect I've gotten from it. Seeing a school with 60 kids in it might scare you away from sending your kid here, but from someone who's experienced this my entire life, I can tell you how beneficial it's been for my growth spiritually, academically, emotionally, and in every other -ly way that I can't really think of. Being surrounded by the same people in most of your classes, on top of sports and other extracurriculars may seem like it sucks at first, but really it's super cool to build these bonds with people and know that it'll last far beyond the 4-7 years you could spend here. I know they throw the word "family" around a lot at this school, but I don't think there's a better word to describe this place, when I look around me I see my brothers and sisters in Christ! This also helps in the classroom, because if a teacher sees I'm struggling, we can have a conversation and they can help me because they actually know me on a human level and took the time to understand the things that I'm going through, while at other schools they usually wouldn't have the time to care about all of their students individually. The small school setting also allows for kids to be involved in many different opportunities, like sports or drama, which normally people wouldn't get the chance to participate in. I kid you not I could talk about this school for days, but seriously if you are reading this and you're thinking of sending your child here or even coming here yourself, I cannot reccomend anything higher than Dallas Lutheran. I'm done glazing now just being honest I love going to school here I love being with all the students I love all the teachers and the staff its really such a great environment and it's actually a night and day difference from the way it was a few years ago and how my friends tell me it was before I got here. Last thing, even if you don't end up coming here, I pray that you would stand firm in your faith no matter where you go, and that the Holy Spirit would guide you in ALL of your endeavors! God bless, Go Lions!!!

I wrote a review about the school a couple of years ago. My background and understanding of the…read moreschool is more than your average person as I myself am graduate and I taught there for almost 30 years. My husband was also an administrator for the same length of time. I want to remind people that reviews coming from parents are often quite skewed through the eyes of their child. It doesn't mean it's not relevant, but without the proper background information you must not believe everything you hear. If you have ever raised a teenager, then you know what I'm talking about and if you haven't, please understand that they often exaggerate based on their hormones and also their social skills. Drugs are in every school. I'm always amazed when parents say how surprised they are to hear what their child has seen heard. These are NOT NEW or rampant issues anymore than any other school in the entire state. Getting a Christian education does not mean that you were going to be surrounded by perfect people. My experience at school is based on one on one conversations with students. They supported my belief that some of the kids were involved with marijuana and had issues with vaping. Like any school I've ever worked in the kids have access to alcohol often due to older siblings or parents that don't care. Again, this is absolutely no different than any other school in existence. To be transparent: The school is under a brand new administrator who has the heart of a lion! Many people pray that she will be the one that makes a difference. The school was hit by a tornado in 2019 and that's what put them in the portables. Fundraising has been done to begin a build on the property, but there have been many issues with the city, with the loan, and with the rising cost of materials. Covid along with the tornado changed everything The school board from about 2018-2022 is responsible for many of the issues that the school dealt with. They absolutely did not follow policy and many members needed to be removed. This has changed, thank the Lord! The leadership is now very trustworthy and they follow policy! The academics have always been solid and indeed many things have changed regarding enrollment. The school has never wanted to reject any family who wishes their child to have a Christian education. So comments about "they take everybody and anybody "are incredibly judgmental and not worthy of any kind of response. The involvement of parents has always been good - but over the past 10 to 15 years things have changed regarding parental care. I believe it's due to social media, but students are incredibly lazy and unfocused. This is not a criticism of spirit or personality. It is a criticism of the social network that surrounds the student. Again, to be transparent, I was forced to leave the school in 2020. I left due to an unethical administrator, and two other administrators who, for the most part are gone. His desire not to be criticized and called out on not only unethical issues but foundational Christian behavior. But I know the foundation of Lutheran education, and I believe that Dallas Lutheran school still holds dear to the Bible and our belief in Jesus Christ as Savior. Take my review and all of these with a grain of salt. There is truth here and some of the things that have been said happen. But the criticism of the faculty and the staff is unsupported and biased. You have no idea what the teachers of Dallas Lutheran high school have gone through over the last 40 years. Remember, I no longer teach there and not by choice. And I still know that nobody cares as much as they do! Add to that a school secretary, who is literally a "school mom" to the students and often the faculty and staff! She is brilliant.

My daughter acted immediately to inform the AP and share her witnesses. Once home she also informed her parents. However, I was never notified by the school. The next morning I arrived to talk to the AP who acknowledged his error in not informing us (however, this lack of communication continued as I had to consistently follow-up). The AP shared my daughters account of the situation was accurate. I stated given the hateful nature of intimidation and bullying, the child should be removed from my daughters classes as well as receive out of school suspension. Neither occurred. The overarching theme in the handling of this has been to dismiss and ignore. The messaging to my daughter and our family has been- its okay. As an adult female who has lived in several parts of the country I have NEVER had this experience- yet, while at HPMS, my 13 yr old daughter has. For the record, this behavior is UNACCEPTABLE. Given the lack of response and concern, this behavior will not only continue at HPMS but fester. It is apparent the safety of their students- both mentally and physically- is not a priority and I will be removing my daughter from the district.

Th small roaches would surround lockers and even bathrooms. Additionally, large roaches would crawl out of water fountains that students often drank out of. Everything is unsanitary and they do not care about student safety and health. The lunch is really bad as well. I've heard cases of spoiled milk, apples that are green inside, and slightly raw meat. Although packed lunch can solve this, not everyone can afford packed lunches and this school should know to properly nourish students. The school has no preparation for sports and is only focused on STEM, which isn't bad but students do not get enough movement after grade ninth. The principal is rude and took off the senior ceiling tile portraits after calling them ugly, but labeled them as "flammable". He also does not know how to speak to children and has a nasty attitude. Other Harmony schools are not like this, only this one that is too small and horrible.

I do not typically leave reviews, but we feel a responsibility to share our experience so other…read morefamilies can make fully informed decisions. Our son attended first grade at this school during the 2025-2026 school year. During the admissions interviews, we informed the administration that he had undergone GI reconstruction and requires immediate restroom access when he says he needs to go. Waiting can lead to accidents due to his medical history. This was communicated during admissions, again at meet-the-teacher night, and in writing to his teacher on the first day of school. Despite those communications, our son reported several occasions during the year when he was asked to wait to use the restroom. From our perspective, the agreed-upon accommodation was not consistently implemented. These situations resulted in embarrassing accidents in front of peers and significantly increased his anxiety about attending school. After the first incident, we asked that the teacher speak with him directly to help repair the emotional impact. To our knowledge, that did not occur. As time went on he became increasingly fearful that he would not be allowed to go when needed. At one point, the class was given a general instruction to "try to hold it" until the end of a lesson. While this may work for many children, it did not apply to our son's medical condition. He was not separately reassured that the instruction did not apply to him. The day the instructions were given, he came home visibly distressed and worried about not being able to comply. We emailed the school asking that someone clarify with him the next day that he would not be expected to "hold it." We later learned the message was not seen before the school day began and no clarification occurred beforehand. Wanting to follow classroom expectations, he attempted to hold it and had another accident. During this same period, our son also reported repeated unkind interactions with another student, including being called names such as "dumb," "stupid," and "not smart," as well as playground interactions that made him feel intimidated. While we understand that peer conflict can be complex at this age, the pattern of reports concerned us. As his anxiety increased, we sought medical evaluation. During the appointment, he told his physician he felt unsafe at school. His doctor noted elevated blood pressure and explained that it can be consistent with prolonged stress. These symptoms were not observed outside of the school environment. We shared both the peer concerns and the medical findings with the administration. Based on medical guidance, we kept him home for a week following the elevated blood pressure reading. An investigation was conducted after he returned. While we appreciate that the school reviewed the situation, we were informed that there was insufficient evidence to substantiate the reported bullying. It was difficult for us to reconcile that conclusion with our child's consistent reports and the physical stress symptoms documented by his physician. He was later moved to a different classroom. Unfortunately, he reported additional concerning interactions there as well, including being threatened with being punched in the face by another student and another instance where he reported being told to wait to use the restroom which resulted in another accident. In several situations overall, we were told certain behaviors were developmentally typical for this age group. While we understand young children are still learning social skills, the cumulative impact on our child was significant. On a separate occasion, our son reported that a student said he would bring a firearm to school. We notified administration immediately and were told the comment was addressed and that our son was reassured he could feel safe. We were not provided further details. There were also periods during the year involving extended teacher absences with limited notice, which contributed to concerns about classroom consistency. Ultimately, based on medical guidance and the observable impact on our child's emotional and physical well-being, we made the decision to withdraw him. Our priority is his health. While finances were not our primary concern, we were disappointed that a medically necessary withdrawal did not allow flexibility with the remaining tuition. For us, it was less about the money and more about acknowledgment of the situation. One we feel might have been prevented with consistent implementation of his medical accommodation and clearer communication. We understand that challenges can arise in any school environment. However, consistent implementation of documented accommodations and clear communication are essential, and in our experience, those expectations were not consistently met. This review reflects our family's personal experience during that school year and is shared to help other families make informed decisions.
