I'm currently a high school senior but I have been going to this school since sixth grade. I have attended Dawson from kindergarten to third grade as well but i come from a military family, so we had to pick up and leave. Every time I came back to Dawson it never failed to amaze me that the teachers are really caring, and you can learn a lot with what they teach and how they teach.

Dawson is a small town school. There's always going to be adults in kids business, useless drama, and of course the school rival. However there's more to Dawson than the "bad". They have an amazing education system, the teachers aren't afraid to help you when needed. Every teacher there is very nice and as long as you follow their rules, you're okay. Not to mention the friends you make and the memories that ya'll make together.

Nice environment and students. The class room size was average. Very good soccer, basketball, football teams. However, we don't have a football field so have to use Pearland High Schools.
