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.

The best experience was having a great teachers who are always there for yiu when you needed. There always there to help you, guides you, and talk about anything. The wrsts part is just not have a communication much and not going to able to see your family again. And lecaung your friends. This DHS is the best school yiu world ahve gone only if they communicate more then it would be ten times better.
