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.

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.

I am a student at Dunnellon who's seen the best and worst. Out of all the things I've seen, I can't stress enough how the faculty takes care of their students and ensures they are mentally well. Dunnellon High also has a WONDERFUL SPORTS TEAM that is full of life and vibrancy. Whoever decides to go to this school will never regret it.

I only attended my senior year of high school and it was ok. I used to go to Heritage High School before I moved and I liked Heritage more.

High school's been a rollercoaster. Producing the school news show is fun, but coordinating can be a headache. Wish we had better tech for even cooler content. That goes for the whole school. Very limited resources and cleanliness. Bathrooms don't have mirrors, so many classes are in portables, and classrooms are under-equipped .

Definitely not a school for children that are academically advanced, works better for you if your strength is athletics, otherwise you're being held back here.

As a student of DHS, I can tell you that this school is an amazing small school with alot of heart. The teachers and staff are extremely caring and fun as long as a student is understanding that school is school, not free play time. Since it's a small school, the teachers and staff can actually crea...
