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.

A great and welcoming place that is likely to be considered a home. Brandishing the mascot, a gator relative to out geographical location being a swamp. it's a super fun and diverse place that allows for you to follow whatever you choose to follow in your career.

My overall experience with Dickinson High School has been great. I love our tight-knit community. Something I would like to see change though is more funding to the CTE department.

The school is great and I don't feel too strongly against anything in particular except for the quality of food we are served.

I'm a student at Dickinson Highschool, I'm a senior and about to graduate. I think this school has some fantastic qualities to it, I think all the teachers are really caring, and the majority of students, especially those who are taking more advanced classes are actually into learning more. I'm glad...
