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.

Dewitt has a lot of caring teachers who allow you to express yourself and truly care about you. I have never met so many compassionate teachers before and it was truly refreshing.

I enjoy my school. We have very high academics and sports. It is rare for a sports team not to have a near perfect season. Also our band and theatre program is top notch. Classes can be tough and I feel real prepared for college.
