I moved to delaware for my senior year at Dover High School. I would say that my experience was pretty nerve wrecking in the beginning since I was leaving all of my friends and family behind but Dover High has shown me nothing but a sense of community which has helped me not to be home sick.

4.0 Senior

2/17/2025

Overall I would say Dover high school is pretty decent. I love the family feel the school has. The only thing I would push them to work on is Academics.

There are many good things about Dover High School. There is a strong community within the school amongst staff, students, administrators, and even alumni. The best part of this school is the fact that there are so many different clubs and activities available for students to find their group of people. The worst part might be the fact that some students don't take full advantage of all the resources given at our school.

I begged my son not to go to this school and let me register him elsewhere to no avail. As he attends each day, I say a prayer and hold my breath. If I had it my way, he would never step foot in that building.

My grades were below average and my social skills weren’t all that good. But while I couldn’t attend school due to my declining mental...

i hated this school so bad. the teachers here don’t care about their students they just here for the money.. the whole entire school district doesn’t care about our mental health, it’s no way i should feel like this going to school every morning. y’all should be so ashamed of yourselves.

6/10/2022

I’m not sure where 5 stars came from, There are multiple fights in the school daily and the students that want to learn can’t learn and get the attention they need due to teachers always burning out fires. Also favorites on the sports teams and kids that are failing grades are allowed to participate...
