The best part of Dale is I have a lot of friends here and I love coming to school because of them. The learning is also good I learn something new every day. I would like to see the dress code change because we stopped having to wear pro club sweats because of some individuals who kept pantsing each other due to the pants being too baggy, although that's not our fault.

Although I didn't receive the best education possible at this school, I made lots of new friends all with different backgrounds while still gaining an education. If anything, the environment and people at this school I surrounded myself with compensated for the "lesser" education I received.

My math teacher used racists and prejudice words towards me while class was in session. He threatened me with a referral, which I refused to sign. So he gave me another.

School is so broke they can't afford balls and tissues even though they got to use at least 40 million dollars to rebuild the school. The kids really broke the restroom many times. Kids vape a lot in the restrooms. Fights are so common that they have a Dale fighting page on Instagram. 6/10

This school is awesome as there are supportive teachers. Also, the ASB hosts epic events such as donut eating and balloon popping. Lastly, the students are friendly and funny if you get to know them. (P.S. theres a jack in a box within a 2 minute walk)
