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.

The best parts of Dover High School was the sports. I played football and basketball for all four years. I played baseball my freshmen year and ran track my junior year. The fan experience and playing in front of the community was something I will never forget. The worst parts of Dover High School was the lack preparation for life after graduation. I don't feel like I'm prepared for college and/or the work force. I feel that we got pushed through and wasn't provided opportunities to expand on our life skills. I would like to see the administration changed so that there is more structure in the building. I was fortunate to have a great experience because I was an athlete but I don't think all kids had a good experience.

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...

After graduating from DHS, I was very prepared academically, artistically, athletically, and socially to excel at a prestigious tier one university.
