I feel as the the school is not challenging enough to prepare students for college. I feel like the teachers do not do enough to help the students plan for futures or learn about real-life issues, roles, traumas, and daily tasks that sneak up on you after graduation.

The staff at this school were extremely understanding and supportive with me during all of my medical, athletic, and academic journeys. They always offered help with work that I was having issues completing.

Dayton is a very small community, so it is often difficult to excite students regarding academics or sports. In addition, the majority of the teachers at the school have been there for multiple decades, and often lack enthusiasm making it a difficult to learn in such an environment.

Take the word of a student here: the more negative the reviews are, the more realistic they are. More truthfulnesss...
