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.

The school is pretty good, teachers constantly leave and new ones come in, do not tell councilors personal things they will either call your parents or police. Pretty inconsistent school but if you're here for art you'll do a bunch of art and you better enjoy it bcs that's all you'll be doing. Some people get super unmotivated and give up art. I had a good expirence but just be cautious

The art department is probably the best part about DASH and it's obviously the most praised because of it. The art teachers are committed to their job and the strand teachers as well. You will for sure come out with a great portfolio if you put in the effort!

DASH provides a lot of opportunities that most school would never have, and all of the art and design classes are top notch and amazing. I wish that there was more of a focus on STEM, since that and art are very connected, but most of the students don't realize it.

The principle of this school does not care about her students. The faculty does not care about their students. A few saving grace teachers actually make the school a success, but that is a very very small few. I would not recommend this school to anyone who cares about their children feeling safe, p...
