Elementary, My Dear Watson (But Not Really)
First things first, forget picturing yourself Indiana Jones, dodging booby traps to find this answer. Thankfully, DPS is a much more transparent organization. They've helpfully laid out all the information on a silver platter (or perhaps a website, but the point is, it's readily available).
Drumroll please... (Okay, maybe just a finger drum tap on your desk) there are a whopping 95 elementary schools under the DPS umbrella! That's a whole lotta classrooms, playgrounds, and dodgeball tournaments!
You Say "K-5," I Say "Alphabet Soup"
Now, before you think elementary schools are just about finger-painting and nap time (although, those do sound pretty appealing right now), remember they cater to a specific age group. Typically, elementary schools in DPS cover Kindergarten through 5th grade, which some might call the "Alphabet Soup" years (because, let's be honest, those early spelling tests can feel like swimming through a bowl of confusing letters!).
