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.

I have been attending Dixon High School since last year, when I started my junior year. The school's atmosphere is very welcoming and warm. The teachers have always been friendly with me and they're very prepared.

My best experience in Dixon High School was all thanks to my PE teacher who pushed me into playing waterpolo. Before that I was very awkward and didn't have any friends, playing a sport made me get a social group and be more friendly, it made me discover what I really love and that now I couldn't play a sport that is out of the water. The worst experience I ever had was during my junior year, I was put into AP classes I dint pick, when I sought for help I had no response and was unable to get out of those classes, during the year I had more stress than what I wanted which made me depressed through the school year, specially because of the grades I was getting, which made me hate myself. At the end I was able to push through the classes and complete the course with an okay grade,

Not enough honors/ap classes. The counselors were not interested in the futures of their students. The teachers could be more serious as well with their coursework, less movies.

Safe learning environment. State-of-the-art facilities, including two computer labs, huge library, theater, two gyms, impressive stadium, and more. Tremendous educational options for students, including AP and Honors Courses, on-campus college courses through the new DHS College Advancement Program,...
