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.

My experience at this school has been good overall. All of my teachers have been very kind and extremely dedicated to my education. Some sports and clubs don't get much funding so that can make it difficult for participants but the coaches and teachers are very supportive and dedicated to making it work. I enjoyed my experience here and feel well prepared for college.

Dayton High School is fine. The teachers are pretty great, but there are not many opportunities for advancement and very few electives are offered. Supervision is on the low side, and the campus is nothing special. Many sports are offered, but you can expect to lose nearly every game no matter which sports event you attend.

Honestly, I'm confused as to how anyone can say this is a decent school. It must obviously be some student council idiots or inbred, hillbilly parents glad to be away from their kids. Take the word of a student here: the more negative the reviews are, the more realistic they are. More truthfulnesss...
