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.

It's a bad school. The teachers are really rude and mean to all the students. They feel like they can do anything and say anything to the students without hurting their feelings.

Students are treated like they are in prison. Insane dress code. There are always cops at the front of the school and it never feels welcoming. There is also a lot of bullying at the school as well.

We had high hopes for DHMS based on other people’s experiences we had heard, but the focus at the school is all wrong. The teachers spend more time dress coding girls than teaching. And none of the teachers are on the same page as to what is acceptable. My child has been removed from class many time...
