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.

Dixie does a great job at prepping students to be college and/or career ready. The staff is also very helpful and kind and makes the students feel heard.

Dixie Heights has amazing staff and teachers. i am also part of swim team for this school as well. i remember when i transferred from Scott to Dixie as a junior Last year that my Algebra 2 teacher was very helpful to me when i was either confused or i was stuck on a math problem that i was really confused on. This school also offers tons of AP classes and has offered more college and career readiness for students and more academic college advisors to let me know what different colleges are like then my previous high school has, which is pretty cool and amazing for this school. The Enviroment at this school is pretty cool as well.

Best thing to happen, Larry Tibbs stepping down. Simply poor as a disciplinarian. Should have been sent back to counseling duties years ago.
