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.

Dartmouth high was the best four years as it helped me find myself and what i truly wanted to do with my life. being a part of the unified program for 3 out of my 4 years really gave me a different perspective on life. graduating from Dartmouth high was a very special moment as my mom graduated from that school, and i will soon be watching my brother also graduate from Dartmouth high. this school district provided me safety and love when i was going through difficult mental struggles.

Best part is the student involvement in the school. The administration hears what the students have to say and takes it into consideration and tries to bring change. The bad part is, usually nothing changes.

Dartmouth High School does an amazing job of providing students with diverse and fun extracurriculars. The best part is seeing all of your friends join the clubs and activities that they like. We're able to see them compete and grow within that activity. The worst part is learning the layout of the building. The floor labels aren't what people expect them to be and its difficult to find classes if you're not aware.

I'm currently a junior at Dartmouth High School and I love it, Dartmouth is a great school with fantastic teachers who care about how their students succeed.

I'm a Junior at Dartmouth high school. And I'd just like to say, that kids in this High School are picked on and bullied constantly. And the Principal is rude. Although I do feel the education you gain here is nice. You learn a lot of stuff and many teachers are motivated to help you learn. While so...
