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.

What I like about Dorchester High School is that it's a small community. You build more impactful relationships with students and staff. It's easier to get individual help if you need it, and generally everyone here seems to work really hard. The only bad thing is the cons that come with going to a small school. There is less classes available, and not every extra-curricular that you do will be as good as a bigger more select activities school.
