2.0 out of 5 stars Not Quite "...EVERYTHING You Need To Know...", February 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: A Guide to DFW Private Schools: A Handbook of Everything You Need to Know About the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex Private Schools (Paperback)

I was surprised to see some of the top private schools in Dallas left out of this book, including Hockaday (all girls), Greenhill, and Jesuit (all boys), other than an address and phone number listing. Other good schools like Tyler Street Christian Academy also overlooked. These are just the schools that I noticed missing. This book is just facts (almost like they sent a questionnaire to each school and indexed them 3 different ways) and some of the facts are incorrect, such as the address of First Baptist (they are actually located on Ervay in Dallas, not at a P.O. Box outside of Dallas). Because they use addresses to index the schools (in one section), it was only by chance that I found First Baptist. Book offers no thoughts from parents or students, no success rates, no college entrance stats, no college grad info, etc. Also, no general information on private school pros and cons. The accreditation organizations and their methods are not explained.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, July 21, 2001

This book does not have all the DFW Private schools listed. There isn't any information in this book that you could not find on the website. Just factoids. There are so many schools left out, I don't trust any of the information. Saint Thomas Aquinas, Hockaday, Jesuit. Just visit their websites and save your (money)!
