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.

I met a lot of great people here, including teachers, friends, and perhaps even mentors. I've gained more than I could have ever hoped for by coming here. I picked up new skills that I most likely wouldn't have, had I not attended. Dover Highschool open doors for me that I never even realized were right in front of me.

Dover high school is a good and diverse place with many good opportunities for people who are not initially from here. The administration however needs lots of work, there have been many days where the principle and vice principle were both not there along with anybody else at the top so for a day we literally had the athletic director in charge of the school.
