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.

Lower Dauphin Middle School was full of passionate teachers and strong athletics. Food was okay, and being centered in small town PA, the school was predominately white. Overall a pretty accepting environment, considering that it's a middle school. Lots of room to excel academically with honors classes and clubs.

Nine out of ten. Amazing school with opportunities for all people. many students may say it is boring or stinks. But they just say that because it is a school in general. compared to others, Lower Dauphin Middle School knocks it out of the park!
