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.

This school is good and all but like..freedom please? We are expected to be perfect and are not talented. All the school cares about is their scores. IEP program is terrible with uneducated teachers and AC students are forced to grow up.

I go here and trust me, this is a prison. All the parents may be happy with grade orientation, but for me it's almost too much. Most of the teachers are good, and they aren't too much trouble. However, the rest of school is trash. If you get B's, then you're considered 'dumb' or people think you need help getting your grades up. We have no way to be kids as we get loads of homework, and the school focuses too much on test grades. The dress code, especially for girls, is stupid. About the only thing that is somewhat fashionable that we are allowed to wear is jeans and a shirt. We can't wear leggings, jeggings, shorts above the knee, etc. Plus, we can't sit where we want to at lunch. There is no way for us to speak out, and we don't get recess.

The school has great scores, and a small portion of students are very academically inclined. The workload can be heavy. Some teachers are very good while others are not. The school discourages parent involvement but suffers from a bullying problem. The facility is great.

Everyday feels worse than the last. We have a quiz every week and a test every other week. The school is allergic to creativity. As a 7th grader, I haven’t had a creative writing prompt for ELA the ENTIRE year. It’s FEBRUARY. I work two hours every night after I get home at FIVE in the evening. This...

Dickerson is a really good school compared to other ones in the area. I will say it is incredibly academically rigorous. They offer lots of different courses to accommodate everyone but even with that its hard. As a student who has been in all advanced classes through middle school, if you are parti...

Dickerson was very valuable for our kids. They got them ready for a rigorous high school curriculum and my kids have excelled in high school. The area we live in can be competitive so as a parent, you need to lay off the pressure and be supportive but if you do that your kids will do well in my expe...

As a parent myself, I can say that this school does not provide nearly what I expect for my child to succeed.
