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.

I find the material generally easy, and the expectation for all students is low. I'd love to see improvement in attendance rate, diversity, and more importantly passion. The students here have very little drive, and it's sad to see it as a motivated student myself. For those of us wanting to go to college, the material is sub-par comparatively to what I should be learning. This is my opinion though, as a recent transfer to the school.

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,...
