Dillon High School is very intersting. Overall experience was great towards the end, you will learn alot about going to a prodomantly black high school. They mainly prepare you for your future as much as possible if you are willing to try. If you are not willing to try to prepare yourself or better yourself there is not much forcing they will do for you. Based on the teachers at Dillon, you have some that actually cares about you and some that will let you fail, or maybe even try to fail you.

my experience with Dillon high school was not the best or worst. the part i loved the most is seeing how teachers try to make sure no student is left behind. and my worst experience is seeing how some students are disrespectful to teachers and don't take their studies seriously. what i love definitely love to see change is how student's treat teachers and the administration.
