I attend this school so I know firsthand that this is an amazing school. My brother went here and got into his first choice college, to. It's not as diverse as I would like it to be, but it's way more diverse than many schools. The teachers are amazing and there are many sports that you can play, such as track, cross country, football, soccer, lacrosse, basketball, baseball, etc.

Middle School is always hard for almost every kid. Dumbarton had some of the best teachers to help you get through those three awkward years. The school allows space for the kids to be kids while preparing them to be successful in high school and beyond.

However the lessons are not engaging and there is little preventative protection for harassment towards minorities. The reporting system for these issues require...
