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.

I liked that I was getting a good education and had good peers. I wish schools would incorporate more finance classes or things we'll need to know for adulthood.

I like that our school has both AP and IB classes available as well as giving you the option to take college classes. I also like that our school offers online language so you can chose to study which ever language you want.

Dexter High School was an excellent school to attend during high school. The community has the resources to go above and beyond for students and their access, almost all classes had laptops for the classes to use when I was attending. They do a great job of incorporating technology into the lessons as they are aware of its prevalence in the real world.

I absolutely hate this school. Ever since I came here I've been depressed as hell. The teachers don't care about you and they assign so much homework, I feel like I'm drowning in it. I thought that this school would be great with all of the nice reviews, but students never go out of their way to say...
