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.

lack of control over children, people are disrespectful, teachers could care less about the students' well being. teachers are also openly racist, which isn't something that's appropriate in a school environment, or at all. kids will cry for help in stress or bullying, and staff will just slap a bandaid on to say "oh well". i've never seen a school with such little care for their students.

Dolan has a good Honors program. The school recognizes hardworking students. The principal is very focussed on discipline and has good management Skills. All of my daughter's teachers were wonderful, supportive and attentive to her/all the kids needs. The building is old and could use updating.
