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.

Lower Dauphin is my home school and will forever be my home school, while there are ploblems, there are problems everywhere. Lower Dauphin is trying to correct their wrong. From being in the band to being a student of the class of 2025, I'm proud to be a falcon.

As of the two years I have completed about lower dauphin high school I would say the school overall is an average high school. It offers classes that range from tech prep to AP courses for all students. They also have multiple different programs for their students that include sports, clubs, band.
