Dunnellon is a school full of diversity and personality. Despite what many do say about its students or teachers there is good there no matter where you look. I personally appreciate all the teacher who are kind and make the students feel welcome and motivated. What may be my worst parts could be the students due to my anxiety but I try to not let others get to me as I used to before, because as I said before no matter the background there is good in them.

Dunnellon High School was a good school. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst. It is very local in terms of population.

This school is an absolute joke. Portables have mold growing in the vents in the AC, the food is ridiculous, nachos taste and look like slop. The teaching is horrible, there are some teachers that are good but some never grade on time and don’t even care to teach correctly.

The school does have some redeeming factors. They have a drone certification program they have the power generation academy they also host...

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.
