This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

10/13/2024

In terms of academics, students will get out of it what they put into it. The school does a pretty good job of giving students academic opportunities. In terms of facilities, the building is extremely old, has no air conditioning in most of the classrooms, and has rats. Most of the funding goes into sports, so the arts clubs don't get a lot of funding. This is also why we don't have any field trips that require vehicular transportation.

I really like how the school comes together to support each other in hard times. One thing I would change is the courses- I would like if there were more variety offered.

Limited choices as students. If not in honors or other more advanced classes students are very demotivated, whether it be because of the school or other reasons. But the school does offer you the chance to succeed

I like Dedham High as a school, but the amount offered is limited. If Dedham were to invest more in extracurricular activities and smaller class size, I would give it a higher rating
