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.

After my daughter received little to no help with her academics (she has a 504 plan), and the previous principal allowing my daughter to be bullied because of “how she is” (referring to her being gay), we just switched schools. I seriously hope the principal there now has made improvements, because...

Very engaged principle, actually knows who my child is. The "diff" program which is for higher accelerated learners is wonderful! Teachers have been great, nice mix of male to female ratio, which my son has enjoyed his guy teachers.

Dawes could be a good school if it had a principal that was qualified. Her leadership abilities are lacking and she is disorganized. The students seem to "rule this school" and lack any respect for the administration. Terrible experience here -- had to transfer our daughter to another middle school.
