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.

I played Volleyball at Dorman. Dorman always had the best coaches, and always had a great athletic program. I learned so much from the people around me and also the coaches there to support me. It was so competitive, that I was not good enough for a lot of playing time. Dorman, however, taught me how to handle disappointment and also cheer for my teammates. I also took the SAT there. As a homeschooler, it was great to be able to take the test there with such a smooth process.

My experience at Dorman is pretty good. The staff is nice to me. They provide free lunch which I am thankful for. However, I would like to see more attention to the visual arts area as I feel like it is neglected.

In the four years of me going to Dorman, everybody there is welcoming from students to custodians/faculty members/resource officers. If you needed help on a subject, let's say math, the teacher will go through with you trying to find a way for you to understand. Allow you to stay afterschool or before class starts. Also the diversity throughout the school, there is also multitude of different clubs and sports for you to find something you like.

Dorman High School has amazing facilities and dedicated, innovative educators. My children have had an outstanding experience in music, theatre, art athletics and in the classroom. I am proud that we are part of the Dorman Cavalier family.

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...
