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.

Dennis- Yarmouth has prepared me for a thriving career in college. The school's biggest issue is the lack of club variety. The school has really great teachers and faculty that care.

I liked the experience overall, and loved almost all of my teachers. The one thing I dislike is how limiting the school day's schedule, whereas I'm not able to take classes I wish I could have due to there only being five classes per semester, which is down from the eight I originally had in earlier years. I understand that COVID shaped this schedule, but I believe they were planning on adapting a similar schedule regardless.

DY excels academically while also providing students with ample opportunities to explore their interests. DY has award winning art programs, theater programs, and many of its sports teams make it to championships.

I'd like to give this school a higher rating, but in the past 20-30 years, it has gone downhill. I have a daughter here now, and although she loves being with her friends, almost every day she's telling me things you'd expect from an inner city school. Ironically, inner city schools have really clea...
