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 love Dexter! The community here is so great and everyone is so genuine. Our student section might not be the best cheering-wise but we will definitely show up if needed.

My experience in DHS was good. The teachers were generally good at their job and were helpful. The building was generally clean and well maintained. I never saw or heard about any serious harassment or violence at the school during my time there. The culture of the school was generally fairly accepting, though I couldn't call the student body particularly diverse.

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...
