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.

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.

They are very welcoming, and very eager to help you learn. Just the school is small but has a good environment.

The experience at DMA has been all over the place over the years. Starting my freshman year with wearing masks and not knowing the people around you was very challenging. However, as time went on i've come to love the school I go too.

Throughout the past 3 years that I have attended DMA, I have learn that not everyone is who they seem to be and in fact many people will be kind to your face and as soon as your out of sight they will go ahead and talk bad about you for absolutely no reason. I do however think that many teacher there are very good teachers and they tend to keep their students best interest in mind while also helping them persevere and succeed. I would love to see my school evolve by becoming a safer place with more trustworthy people and I think it would be great if we became more diverse as well.

The academics in this school are wonderful, but as it is a military school I was surprised at some of the teachers. Many talented teachers have been let go in the past few years, yet one who calls students names and belittles their political views if they don't agree with his remains there. Are teac...
