Overall would say a successful experience for my daughter's tenure. I would have loved to be more involved in her curriculum and extra activities but being a single father deemed it challenging sometimes. I am grateful of the experience and tutelage she received at FDHS.

The culture at Fort Dorchester High school is like no other. The athletic director, Taryn Floyd, emphasizes the "Fort Family" feel, and that makes a big part of what Fort Dorchester stands for as a school entirely. I transferred from another school in the middle of my Junior Year, and the acceptance of me from the school is something I would have never imagined at my other high school.

I have attended Fort Dorchester High School all years of my current high school experience. My teachers have never been a problem but, I wish they would use equity with students more. Some administors in the past have been discriminatory to other students. Many students in the school are working hard to pass to the next grade. I wish some counselors would engage with students better, encouraging them for career or college life.

We have had a very positive experience at FDHS. The tennis program is great. We love the Wescott community.

FDHS has allowed for violence and fighting to become the norm. Due to the location of the school the diversity of the students is not taken into consideration. You have a high % of students with no support at home concerning their education or behavioral issues and the minority of students with an e...

Fort Dorchester is one of the best schools around!!! The teachers are actually helpful and make class enjoyable to learn. Sure it may be a little crowded in the halls, but thats the sacrifice for going to suchja great school!!!!
