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 high schools gives you a great experience, but does not entirely prepare you for college. There is not a lot of guidance or structure in the curriculum.

There are a number of teachers at DHS that have stayed long past the amount of time they should have. for example: Bill Philips and Todd Pagels are two teachers who should have been let go years ago. They are two old men who have been known to make the female students at DHS feel uncomfortable, whether it's through actions or words. Philips is known to tell inappropriate stories in both of his classes, even if they have nothing to do with the class.

I enjoyed most of my time at Dewitt. They offered great classes with many great teachers. The students had a lot of school spirit which really helped the athletic side of things. Some teachers and administration did not do all they could for our students and some were rude and it made it a not fun environment.

My kids have had an excellent academic experience. While we have had one teacher that was not top notch, the rest have been above expectations (That is good odds). The administration and Board seem to be sensitive to the community needs and progressive in finding ways to improve the teaching experie...

I'm glad I'm not the only paren that sees through the hiding district. The schools'/district's NUMBER ONE CONCERN is THEMSELVES (read: LIABILITY). They will do whatever it takes to skirt out of responsibility from turning the blame to someone else or avoid parents like the plague. you've got a 140k/...
