5/2/2025
Dawson is a school filled with opportunities for students to take advantage of. There is support in every corner with teachers and staff who want the best for you and are always prepared to help you make your ideas into something bigger. I came to the school as an extremely shy and reserved kid, and now I'm graduating as a confident and outgoing student thanks to the Dawson environment.
3/18/2020
I have liked my experience at Dawson in high school. There are administrative issues, but I think that is found in most private schools. The teachers and classes are all amazing, and I'm grateful for the education I've received here.
10/1/2018
Great school with amazing academics! The classes are great because the students get to have a much better bond with their teacher.

9/10/2023
Beautiful campus and facilities with small class size. Very limited social pool to choose from as the middle and upper school grades range from approximately 40-55 kids a grade. Unfortunately there was a ton of bullying at this school over the years and we found it to be a poor social environment. S...

I have a daughter in 8th grade and a son in 7th grade that started at Dawson in March 2023. While middle school can be challenging they have really enjoyed the small class sizes and experiences that Dawson has to offer.
12/2/2022
My child regressed in math after three years in the lower school. The teachers didn't seem to detect this. When we discussed assessment testing "MAPs", the teachers literally wouldn't give is specific details about the testing. This was odd to me.In the lower school, my child rarely if ever had math...

Although the academics were abovr average and prepped me well for my college experience, the racism throughout the students and administration was terriblely handled.I was one of the few minorities at the school and we were all bullied and treated terribly with no repercussion from the school.
