it's a good school and the teachers are very supportive. There are a lot of oppurtunities to be able to make freinds and its overall an amazing school.

4.0 Senior

1/5/2021

its not too bad, teachers are nice and understanding when it comes to mental illnesses. if you are struggling, speak up because the teachers are very supportive and offer extensions to lessen the stress. the students are 50/50 because there can be genuinely nice people, and then there could be ignorant bigoted students that can be rather rude if one is a minority.

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
