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.

A diverse school that's main focus is math, English, science, and history. While I was here, there was much more focus on sports rather than the arts, leading me to feel limited in my resources.

I overall had a great experience at Dacula High School. I was involved in a lot of different sports, clubs, and extra-curriculars, which is where I found my crowd and allowed me to feel at home. I had some issues with safety at school, as there was a lot of fighting and violence at the school and in my county. However, I thought the teachers and administration did an excellent job handling this. I would love to see new policies taken place and the sports teams to take off again.

Despite maintaining an average of 95, I am placed in classes alongside students who struggle with even basic concepts, solely because my English isn’t perfect....
