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 have 3 daughters that attend Arthur Dixon. My oldest is in 7th grade and I have one in 2nd grade and the other in kindergarten. I absolutely love Dixon. The teachers are amazing and push my girls academically to do their best.

I completed a student observation for graduate school at Arthur Dixon. I absolutely loved the atmosphere, staff, admin, and the support that students were provided to enrich their overall educational experience. The African artwork, history, and culture is beautiful.
