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.

My experience at Dexter High School in New Mexico has been great on the most part. This school loves to get involved with sports, and as a student- athlete i love that. I'm currently playing my last year of softball here and i love it. The only thing i wish would be better about this school is getting better teachers, I know that it is getting harder to find teachers. I wish we would get teachers that have an actual degree in that field and not a Long term substitute teacher. But over all i enjoy Dexter High School.

I have been going to Dexter Schools since I was little. The experience overall has never stayed the same and has changed over the years. The small schools make the environment feel like a family. But as with many families there can be problems. I was definitely more of a quiet kid and did not have the same opportunities at friends as if I went to a bigger school. Dexter high only has 400 students and that compared to some schools in Roswell is very little. My graduating class has maybe 60 kids in it. It can give off the vibe of being in college but with the addition of immaturity. Overall Dexter is not a bad place to raise a kid. It can give opportunities that other schools cannot. The staff here are the kindest people on the planet. I have grown to appreciate them as I got older.

I enjoy that it is a small school and everyone is rather close. It is wonderful to know that the staff and students are very supportive in times of need.
