I was happy with it, it gave me the opportunity to become a CNA, but the students were rude and drama filled which teachers turned a blind eye too.

As a sports fan watch these games, the job football program does not play national anthem at games and broadcaster very very biased. Very disappointing as a military veteran this goes on. And teaching these students how to disrespect our country and culture. Do better Dexter.

I liked my Dexter experience however there is a lot of drug use and party culture. I also feel like bullying and reports of bullying are not substantially investigated. Overall good experience though. I enjoyed the sports and the friendships I made. The classes were challenging but very rewarding.

My daughter is a current student at DHS. They have appallingly bad support services for mental health issues, including bullying, depression and even suicidality. We have found the teachers to be lacking in compassion and the counseling office to be overworked and inattentive. Do not expect to hear...

I absolutely hate this school. Ever since I came here I've been depressed as hell. The teachers don't care about you and they assign so much homework, I feel like I'm drowning in it. I thought that this school would be great with all of the nice reviews, but students never go out of their way to say...
