Overall I have had a good experience at Dayton HS. Of course it's a small rural School district so it's not perfect. However support from the community is huge.

It's good for a general education, and you can be an easy school to attend and excel in, but it offers no AP classes so if that's something important to you it isn't the best school. There are a few college courses offered but I was only there for My final year. They didn't have much of a drama program, and although art is my main course, the art offered was more at a grad school level. If you are interested in sports, agriculture, and passing this is a good school, but if you want more I'd say go somewhere bigger.

This school was good 10 years ago, not so much now. The "good-ol boy club" is stupid. The teachers and principle don't care about education and care more about having fun on the weekend or winning in sports.
