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.

Dayton high school is a pretty good school, it's a small school though. As it being a small school most of the teachers really connect with there students and are close. And it's really easy to know what's going on in our school. I like my school.

I think Dayton would benefit from being less strict. Being a very small school, you feel like you are always being closely watched. It is stressful feeling like if you make one mistake, everyone will know. Some of the teachers are also very judgy.

The teachers at Dayton High School are decent. We recently got a new chef so the food is getting somewhat better. We recently got new technology to make things better in the classroom but I personally think it is a distraction to most students. Nothing really gets taken care of for bullying though which is a shame. Many students in my school are bullied and it continues to take place because teachers and administration will not get ahold of it.
