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.

Best part of the school is the career shop you pick but worst part is the students that go there. Id like to see the one sidedness of situations being handled better.

CTE will make you ready for post secondary or even going into the workforce. Tech is a great idea to start a trade.

Dauphin County Technical School, felt like a new home to me. The teachers made you feel you feel welcome and were extremely lenient. The principal Mr.Keys, does whatever he can to make sure the school is safe and the kids feel welcomed. Together with the students, especially your program of study, bonds like no other are made. Which lead me to the best four years of highschool.
