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.

For the most part this school is pretty chill but it may not have all of the classes or resources you need or want that may be tied to your future career. Especially since recently there have been many teachers leaving the district due to low pay, resulting in a low variety of classes.

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.

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.
