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 enjoyed going to Dora High School through my adolescence. It's small town yet feels big in the ways.

Many general in my family has went to Dora the people there are usually nice; the teachers want you to succeed and will try their best to help you. It's not the best school when it comes to academics but there are opportunities available for you if you feel more advance that you could do.

The school only cares for the kids thats parents have money, or the sports kids. They will not help you if you aren't a popular kid. Took me 5 weeks to get my classes straight freshman year and they put me in theatre 3 times back to back and refused to let me change it.
