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 LOVE Dimmitt! If you like having fun while learning, I definitely suggest going to this school. The staff is amazing, some might be strict, but most of them are pretty chill.

The issue at Dimmitt is administration turn over (no administrator/team ) has stuck around for more than 2-3 years. Also 25-30 % turnover of teachers each year. It's basically a training school for administrators, and to a lesser degree teachers.Possible human resources (district) issue.
