Denton Elementary School has gone don hill over the years especially the 2013-2014 school year. My daughter has been hurt several times and no call from the nurse. The principals don't bother resolving issues between students and teachers and parents even when requesting to have students removed from a classroom before the school year begins to stop a problem before it begins. Teachers refuse to answer questions when my child raises their hand for help. A class size of 54 students is to large for my child to learn and when I requested for her to be moved the principals over looked it and turned their backs. Teacher only allow their favorite students parents on field trips and to bring things in for class parties. No communication what so ever. Very unorganized.

Teachers don't take the time to make sure their students learn. Had to pull my child who was not learning anything. The bullying is rampant and nothing is done about it. Only thing they are big on in this school is neglect.
