Dixie High School is a very close knit community. The small classes help grow the relationship between students and teachers. Police are very close by which helps us feel safe. The only thing I would want to change about the school is the condition of the school. It is noticeably aged, but it is okay.

Well being a gay guy in the "country" part of South Carolina, it's been a tough experience. However, most of my classes have been okay, they could be much better, but our district is pretty poor. I do believe they are making the best of what they have. The school itself was built in different stages, so some places are a lot newer than others. The faculty is a nice mix, they want to interact with you and make sure you are really comprehending the materials. Our lunches are awful. There's not much else I can say about that. It has its rough edges, but overall it's an okay School.
