Dover High School is a decent public high school overall, at least from my experience. It has a decent selection of AP classes. It is a pretty big school. There are quite a few people. I see this as a downside, but that is subjective. It has an honors program, so there are honors classes. There are a decent number of college prep classes, so regardless of what you take, some of your classes are basically guaranteed to have weighting. The school is fine overall. There are better, but there are also much worse.

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.

My overall experience was decent. I was an honors, AP, and dual enrollment student so I believe I got the best education that I could out of the school. One thing my mom would say she didn't appreciate was the lack of recognition to students. I slipped through the cracks with recognition with my grades and participation, I didn't even get invited to the national honors program. They also prioritize athletes than students, but overall I had a good experience and loved my teachers.

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.

So, first of let me say that I’m not the best student when it comes to school, and other people’s experiences are their own. Personally though, I loved this school. 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...
