Overall good school, teachers are very helpful. class sizes were reasonably sized and great sports programs.
2/27/2025
My experience at Dobson High School was overall pretty positive. This was definitely because I was in all honors and AP classes, so those were the people I interacted with the most. The music program at Dobson is great, especially the orchestra program. Something that wasn't great was a couple of my teachers didn't really teach us in a way that I learned anything.

Dobson high school is an amazing school, though i would like to see some changes on where students can and can't go, since it's very hot over here, i would like it if the students could go into the gym and cool off because the cafeteria isn't very big and students are always there in groups and it's just very crowded, but what i hope they keep is their art classes, Dobson is mostly known for their art, choir, orchestra, band, etc

They’ll randomly be pulled out of class and told their schedule has been changed, sometimes swapping out one o...
