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.

The teachers at Dollar Bay are amazing. The classes are engaging. The classes are also a smaller size. The school is so small that the students know everyone. There's a few cons to this list though. The text books and technology are all outdated and falling apart, but other than that, this is a great school.

A wide variety of classes are available to students in addition to required core classes. The school year is a tri-mester schedule with longer class periods which allows for this.This makes workload easier as they only have four core classes a day per each tri-mester. Teh students like it and the parents like it!

This school is very small so there aren't a ton of extracurricular activities to get involved in. There are some, though, including many sports like volleyball, track, football, hockey, and basketball. There aren't many clubs.

I moved to the UP to place my 2 teenage boys in Dollar Bay High as their father had received a wonderful education at this small hometown school. Both boys have thrived due to the small class sizes and the level of care, concern, and abilities of their teachers, counselor, coaches, along with the ad...
