My personal experience at Dunbar has been amazing. When I first got to Dunbar I didn't know where I belonged. But joining the Dunbar track team helped me find my belonging. Joining the team helped me discover a talent I didn't know I had. It also helped me meet some amazing girls who I call my sisters. The school spirit is also incredible. From the pep rally to the football and basketball games. I would say the worst experience has been the lost of my fellow classmates. But overall my experience at Dunbar has been great.

Dunbar is a good school, but I suggest u to not to be an unattractive person there what so ever because people will try u there a lot. Because ugly in that school is not a good feeling. I suggest people that is ugly in there to find the right friends bc there is going to be very kind people there. I was not that good looking and people will act annoying.

Well, I have been at Dunbar since a freshman. I was recruited for track and basketball, so I came here. The teachers have always been good to me and they gave me a lot of opportunities like starring in commercials and other stuff. The only thing I don't like about school is the food but that's the whole DCPS.
