Dobson high school is a good school but does not exceed in academics or athletics. It's a fair school all around. Unless you take honors or Ap classes the teachers do not push you.

Honestly, sports are not the best currently, but if you're pursuing the arts, our arts department is really remarkable and our performing arts are known to get Superiors With Distinction at festivals.

Dobson High School is a great school, a couple of fails like any other schools. Overall, the school is great for any student wanting to join. You are able to choose between a huge number of courses, that will help you. There Ap courses are a great and can help you skip a few classes in college.
