The best part about school would have to be the student teacher relationships, I have grown so close to many teachers and I know many students have the same. The worst part of my high school experience would be the students, I feel as if a lot of students got away with a lot more than they should have. If I could change one thing it would be the way things are discipline is handled. Not many rules are applied to every student including dress code, substances on school property, fights.

I have really enjoyed my time at Fort Dorchester High School. For me the teachers were the best part. Being a student with a disability my teachers were always willing to go above and beyond to help me. I feel like discipline was the worst part. There were a lot of fights and bullying but I really don't blame the school. My mom is a teacher and I know sometimes the school's hands are tied.

Fort Dorchester has been an amazing experience, because of the community that has been built up by the athletic programs but most especially football. Having the opportunity to play football there has given me the ability to continue and play football in college. Simply because of the athletic community and the atmosphere I would personally say that going to Fort Dorchester is an amazing experience

We have had a very positive experience at FDHS. The tennis program is great. We love the Wescott community.

FDHS has allowed for violence and fighting to become the norm. Due to the location of the school the diversity of the students is not taken into consideration. You have a high % of students with no support at home concerning their education or behavioral issues and the minority of students with an e...

Fort Dorchester is one of the best schools around!!! The teachers are actually helpful and make class enjoyable to learn. Sure it may be a little crowded in the halls, but thats the sacrifice for going to suchja great school!!!!
