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.

All the kids at Dartmouth high act like they're 6'5 nonchalant deadheads. Not because they are 6'5 nonchalant dreadheads, but because the won't stop saying the n word.

The administration lies about the food being "healthy". It looks, feels, and tastes disgusting and it's all microwaved. Most of the teachers don't care about you, all the kids pick on you. I've been hit by a kid before and nobody did anything about it. The kids are all racist and homophobic and transphobic and all of the other phobics. They also do drugs all of the time in the bathrooms and in class. So much drugs. I feel like I could get seriously hurt there sometimes.

I'm a Junior at Dartmouth high school. And I'd just like to say, that kids in this High School are picked on and bullied constantly. And the Principal is rude. Although I do feel the education you gain here is nice. You learn a lot of stuff and many teachers are motivated to help you learn. While so...
