GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

School full of kids who smoke marijuana, do hard drugs, and get with tons of guys. To make it more crazy, this school is full of ages 11-14. There are literal 6th graders straight out of elementary smoking in the bathrooms. Teachers do not teach AT ALL, do not do anything if there is a problem, and put students under loads of pressure. Fights Everyday.. School is just one big hot dumpster. Do NOT send your children here if you want them sneaking out every-night to guys houses and doing things we've never heard of.

Dumbarton was an amazing middle school. I made tons of friends that I still have to this day. I graduated from Dumbarton in 2019 and I still miss the days when I had nothing to worry about

As a student of Dumbarton Middle School, I can say with full confidence that this school is not worth going to. Now, of course, middle schools are what they are and none will be perfect, but at this school, teachers and staff are just plain rude and treat us students like objects. The students are m...
