I have had a great experience at Dexter Southfield. Although some of my teachers, I feel, have not been fit for their position at Dexter Southfield, I feel prepared for the college experience after attendance.

The amount of girls that I have seen come out of this school with eating disorders is INSANE. I left after two years, didn't graduate from there, and somehow get harassed with mail asking for me to donate.

The food got continously worse to the point where for lunch, we would have salad. The teachers don't pay attention to homework, are childish, and don't undersand what they teach to the students.
