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.

My experience at dunkirk highschool has been good. The teachers are great same as the counselors and principals. They treat everyone equally and the teachers make sure you can easily understand and they are open to questions. Another good expirence i had in dunkirk highschool is that if i have no one to talk to both the teachers and counselors are there and they help. There werent any bad experiences. Something i would like he see change is most likely more activites ti get everyone envolved.
