Dallas Independent School District Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"I was a teacher for 15 years. It is difficult to capture such a decentralized organization with a few words. I greatly enjoyed my time as a teacher and have many memories of it."

"Dallas ISD is a great place to work in order to impact students, their families, and the communities they represent."

"DISD is unbelievably political and difficult to navigate. Your coworkers may be great but be careful of leadership, especially in Central Staff. If you are a good employee, they may block you from transferring to better positions within the district."

"I've worked for Dallas ISD since August of 2016. While imperfect, as any school district is, I have found it to be a step ahead of many urban districts in the country. The focus on student achievement and college preparedness is high-quality, and the TEI system for evaluating and compensating teachers based on performance rather than seniority is something that other school districts will likely use in the future with success."

"I have worked with DISD for over nine years in a fulfilling job that has provided both challenges and the opportunity to have an impact on society."

"I’ve worked for Dallas ISD since August 2019, but I’ve been a teacher for the last 7 years and I believe it is time for a change and to apply my IT/CRM experience to move forward to the next stage of my professional life."

"I've worked for Dallas ISD for 8 years, and it really depends on the school you work in on your working conditions. Some facilities are more up to date than others, and some school cultures are more positive than others."

"I prefer more responsibility. I am a substitute, currently, with DISD. I have very little interaction with down-town administration, working mostly with teachers and principals, and working with the kids. I actually get along very well, with the people I routinely work with. I substitute all over the district, and see the best and the more challenging classrooms. I have been able to manage them all."
