The best parts of my experience at Dater is the diversity here is beyond great and the teachers are very helpful and want the best for oneself. The clubs and sports are very active and inclusive. The worst parts of my experience at Dater is how disrespectful some students can be and their classmates and teachers.

I think the teaching is pretty academic but when the administration comes in it changes the teachers way of teaching. I think the most students are very disrespectful to each other and the teachers. The best part is when the teachers have the same attitude for everyone. For instance "teachers pet". But the worst part when students are not disrespectful to adults or each other, like cursing. I hate when children curse around adults like their adults.

I'm a freshman at Dater High School and I love it there. I'm also in the AA program which is only offered at Dater and Walnut Hills. Everyone likes to compare Walnut Hills to Dater, but I think that Dater is better. The population isn't very big which means everybody knows one another. The principal...
