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.

Dreher is a place I can call home where there is not only great academic oppurtunities for all students but also greta variety of sports and diversity among students and teachers and other staff members. The campus is a safe and clean place and it is a blessing to be at the school and be able to learn and make friends.

Dreher high school is full of many different people and activities. One thing I would like to see change is more involvement in the whole student body. Opportunities to learn outside of the class room...a larger budget to work around. Students as far as myself would like to explore and learn new opportunities outside of the classroom why do field studies have to stop at elementary school?
