The best part of high school was honestly the friends and family you meet while you're attending. You can go into high school not knowing anyone and graduate with a family. Dillon high school has molded me to become successful and go get anything that I want. I had a great experience at Dillon high from the students to the faculty & staff, the teachers made sure that I was on top of my work and that I was on the right path to graduate. The students made the school fun because you never knew what would happen the next day.

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.

Dillon high school is a somewhat good place to be. A few good things about the school are the few teacher that care and make school fun, the nice lunch ladies, and the resources they give us. What i dislike about the school is how unsanitary the school is, the school's low safety levels are, how rube the staff and administrators are, and how the school has black mold on the ceiling tiles/some of the tiles are missing. Overall the school is ''ok'' butt if I had a choice I wouldn't go there.

I have been very pleased with Dillon High School. I feel that my child is getting an excellent education. The teachers have been really good about keeping in touch with me when my son has any problems with material. My son has really enjoyed most of the classes--the only ones he hasn't are not reall...
