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 have always felt welcomed and comfortable throughout my 4 years at Dresden High School. My education has always felt valued by my teachers and administration. I have had tons of fun here and made tons of memories with my friends, teachers, and peers. Dresden has prepared me for my next steps in life and it will definitely be difficult to depart from here. It has made itself a home for many students.

Dresden High School is very small and does not have a diversity of students. The teachers judge people by their last name and unless you play a specific sport then they do not care about you. This high school also has a dress code, but once again, if you have the right last name and play the right sport then the rules do not apply to you. Our school needs more effective teachers as well because the teachers here do not care if the student understands the subject, all they care about is getting you out of there classroom.

Dresden is a high school that is expected of a small town. You have your typical groups and popular kids, but over all is a good school. Although they do tend to put sports at the top of financial and academic priorities, this high school is one I would recommend.
