Reviewed:

Dolphin Terrace is an excellent school. I loved that for some of the grades, the teachers moved up grades with the students for an easier transition. I wish my daughter could have spent more time at Dolphin Terrace with it being in such a wonderful neighborhood and convenient walk to/from home, but that's military life.
