Both communities are strong supporters of the district. DC-G is allowed to use public property for school activities in both towns. In addition, local businesses and residents give more than twenty thousand dollars in scholarships each year to graduating seniors. As one of the fastest growing school districts in the state, enrollment steadily increases each year. Class size remains small with approximately 19 students to every educator in regular elementary classrooms and 15 students to every educator in secondary schools.
Students consistently succeed in local and national competition .
Students in every grade level have the opportunity to take part in technical fairs and conventions, fine arts and academic contests and sporting events. Teacher-parent communication is above average with more than 90 percent of parents attending regular conferences regarding academic progress beginning in kindergarten through grade 12. DC-G prepares for the future As our communities continue to experience increasing growth, the district is planning accommodations for present and future enrollment with a ten year facilities plan. Two new schools, an elementary and a new high school, are currently under construction. The new elementary school, located in Dallas Center, is targeted for completion in the fall of 2001.
