The school only strives to reach the minimum required education. There is no focus on college preparedness in any class or with the guidance counselors. The best opportunity from Dickson is the ability to attend Southern Tech during junior and senior years.

I have had many great experiences in my time at Dickson, I have made many friends, and a few great teachers. My biggest and only critique for Dickson would be the shortage of extracurricular activities. There isn't very much to do unless you are interested in sports. But overall I would say I had a positive experience at Dickson.

My experiences at Dickson High School have been both good and bad. The math department is the best academic program that Dickson offers. The teachers go out of their way to make sure each student understands the curriculum. However, the rest of the classes tend to not be like this. The school is currently undergoing all new adminstration.
