As a senior who's leaving in a few months I can't wait to leave. Recently they started the yonder pouches and they have yet to be effective. One because they started way too late half into the last quarter and two because it does pose a safety risk. Considering the activities going on anything is possible. I think it's a bit silly. Where they lack in knowledge they make up for it with certain teachers. I have a two teachers I love with everything in me they've made senior year a whole lot bearable for me. I had a rocky start in the beginning if I'm being honest but Mrs. Eride( English honors) and then Mr. Knowles is amazing as person (History Honors). As a transfer student they've been spectacular. Honestly if I could say they'd be reason why.

my overall experience in dwight morrow high schools is that i learned that everyday i enter my classes is always something new everyday. And that i be focus on my schoolwork because my teachers be doing too much work and always get them done right away.

My daughter is in the law & public safety academy. We’ve found the teachers to be professional, patient, and quick to respond to emails. The principal is outstanding. The athletics are great. The campus is amazingly beautiful. We’re quite pleased.

The principals never stay. They took out the position for Vice Principal. The administration doesn't care about the students.

I am an Academies student and am absolutely in love with the school. We had some issues last year, but the new principal and the new guidance department are bringing a lot of positive changes to the school. Very diverse community and many of the "hard teachers" in the schools are the ones that reall...
