My experience at Dinwiddie High School is not bad but could be better. There is not much diversity but there are fun people there. The school lunch isn't bad it's just regular plus it is kinda boring there though since it's far from most things.

The best part of my experience was being in my culinary class and my Spanish classes. I would like to see more focus on student mental health. I felt as if there was so much tension and pressure built within going to this school that some of the faculty were just adding more stress to the students. Some teachers did not care what you were dealing with and would not even try to reach out to you to see if you were okay. The school is not focused on students actually learning things and it sticking with them but however focused on zooming throguh courses just to get quized and tested every week on a subject that you just learned maybe 3 days prior.

As a senior at Dinwiddie High School, I have had a plethora of good and bad experiences. I would say one of the best things I experience on a day-to-day basis is the support from our administration to succeed and push ourselves to be the best we can be. One issue I commonly experience is the water in the school's fountains tastes like it contains bleach or paint; sometimes, the water even looks to be white instead of clear.
