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.

Overall, I believe that the Dos palos High school is a great school. I've lived in Dos palos for many years and really enjoy it. Some of the better features about this school is it's teachers and how well they are able to teach us students. Something I would change would be the choices we have for classes. I would have more medical classes added.

Dos Palos High is a school in a small town. So you get the whole cozy small town experience and genuinely get to grow with the people around you. Lots of diverse people.

Nothing about philosophy, psychology, politics, society, deeper science (emphasis for anything more th...
