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.

I'm currently a sophomore at Dayton high school and it has been an amazing experience!! Everyone is so caring especially the teachers and since it's such a small school we all care about each other. There are so many resources at Dayton high school to help you if you or your family needs help. Small school but filled with lots of love.

Some of my favorite experiences at Dayton are: pep-rallys, going on a lunch for having A B honor roll, and going to a local pizza place for being Student of the Month.

The food is not good. We dont have any prep-rallys. This school doesnt prepare you for college, as I was told by a graduate from another year.
