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 environment was amazing. The teachers always wanted to help and there was little to no bullying. However, there was a lack of resources in the school but our teachers did their best to work around it to give us the best experience they could. The community was very involved with our little school and always helped with fundraisers.

I loved my time at Dixie High School. The teachers are great and I love our principal but there is some changes that need to be done. Such as better food, better classrooms, more involvement with technology.

While attending Dixie high school is was not the best experience. The kids there were so racist and the teachers did not seem to care. There was not many extra activities. For sports they were picky the color kids barely made any of the teams. The food was very nasty and i would not recommend anyone attend it.
