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.

Dixon overall is a pretty good school with good teachers who are willing to help you thrive in classrooms Though the school is having difficulty with keeps teachers it hasn't affected us so far. Although we don't have many winning teams at Dixon the teams I have been on have been very friendly and inclusive. I enjoy participating in the activities that Dixon high puts on and the parent involvement is also extremely helpful.

My experience at Dixon high school has been interesting. Most of my experiences have been great and built character, however some of my experiences have been less than fortunate. Dixon highschool (DHS) has teachers that enjoy teaching but if you/ your' child is gifted they may find themselves with extra time on their hands

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,...
