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.

The best part of my experience was the excellent customer service. The staff was very friendly and helpful. However, the worst part was the long wait times. I would like to see more efficient processes put in place to reduce waiting times for customers.

I'm a current Senior at Dutchtown High. I've been going to Dutchtown all my life and all 3 schools have been very good to me. The only thing i would change is a closer evaluation on how teachers treat their students behind closed doors in the classroom. All in all it's a very great school.

As a graduate of Dutchtown High, I absolutely loved my time at the school. The teachers I had (mostly honors and AP) were very caring and great at what they did. Every once in a while there will be a "bad" teacher, but that's bound to happen at any school. All in all, I was extremely prepared for co...

We moved from Connecticut where my son was attending a top notch school district there. My son went to Dutchtown High School his junior and senior year and we found the quality to be on par with what he was receiving in Connecticut and he was very successful. Seemed to be challenged but had teachers...
