Dover HS is a great school My favorite classes were Aerospace Science and the AFJROTC, Chemistry and Physics

I really love dover high school i been there since i was a freshman. All school have there ups and downs but Dover High School is a good school over all

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...
