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.

My overall experience at Dumas High School has been great, all of my teachers help me succeed and learn in every way possible. Fortunately I haven't had any bad experiences here at DHS nor would I like to see anything change as it is all perfect in my opinion.

My experience with Dumas High has been amazing lately. It has been a rollercoaster but I have learned a lot throughout my 4 years there. There has been a lot of mix emotions throughout it all, from excitement about sports and stress over exams and projects. I had made a lot of new memories there and I'm grateful for that.

I have been a student at this school for 2 year starting on my 3rd and so far it has been horrible experience in every way. There are definitely a couple good teachers there but most of them just give out worksheets and homework everyday leaving us students no time to learn about the subject or rest...

This school has low test scores, low resources for disabled students, low advancement rates, high graduation rates due to the principal and counselors filtering students and estimating risk of dropout to turn sudents away.

D-hall for two hours in a town that is backwards to begin with. The principal is a douche bag that once bullied kids as a coach in Amarillo. He thinks he knows what he is doing but no one gave him two freaking hours of d-hall for two hours when he was in high school. Also shelling out the big bucks...
