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.
