GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

I'm a student here, and I'd say it's an okay school. The counselors are terrible; it doesn't really feel like they're trying to help you at all. Some teachers are good, others bad, but you just need to watch out for bullies and such. There's a lot of good grades in the school and all, but it's also pretty old fashioned with the dress codes which is completely unfair. Not much diversity, there's only white kids and Hispanic kids, and not much to do with clubs or anything either. So overall I'd say it's an average school.

The administration at Dahlstrom does not care about their teachers. They let the parents run the school and they will take the word of a student over the word of a teacher. The principal has no idea what she is doing. I never see her around the campus, and she does not take an interest in the lives...
