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.

Sports are great . Superintendent is something to be desired. She doesn't care about all the kids is is very one sided

Dirigo, while having its issues is overall a good school to go to. Students do have to complete standards to graduate, while I don't like standards it is up to you to decide if this is a pro or con. It is a fairly small school but it's inclusive, and teachers support their students.

Teachers are really concerned with each of their students and give them as much support as possible with getting to the best college. Each course prepares the kid for college. The sports and community is something you will not find any where else
