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 best part about Dorman High School is the opportunity to start college classes early. I started taking college courses in my junior year of high school and we didn't even need to pay for it. Dorman covered all of the costs so I could get a head start on my college education. The worst part is the crowded hallways. We are the largest high school in South Carolina so of course there are a lot of people but I hate walking shoulder to shoulder and being squeezed front to back in a crowd.

Dorman has gone down since last time I have been there. I mean they go all the way down, they just don't stop at the tip anymore, they go down, down to the toes. Dorman is not as amazing as it is anymore. For example, at one point, Dorman was a caterpillar, but it never underwent a cocoon phase, and...
