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.

Dirigo is a fine school. I wish they would put more effort into electives not just sport and appearance. Overall Dirigo is welcoming but has troubles like every other school with some students bullying.

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
