Dade County High School...It really all depends on what 'group' your in to achieve what you want in activities such as: cheerleading, football, basketball, baseball, so on and so on. Also the Sheriff's are always giving some of the teenagers a hard time more than the teachers. Drive a nice car?...beware,

All though I have been a student of this school and I have met some of the most caring people and that have made a difference in my life, but watch out some will get the best of you also. I wouldnt recommend the school but it is a quiet and peaceful town with the most beautiful mountains you'll ever see. I call it God's Country. Read less

I am a former student of dchs. Well it has its ups and downs. It is a small community so things do seem to get around easy like you never have privacy with out any one knowing.

I worked at DCHS and let me tell you the student/teacher ratio is nowhere near 17...try 30. Being such a small school however, makes it possible for a student with little prior sports training to join a team, which is not possible in larger venues. Given the choice however, if I had children, I would

I attended this school and I thought it was very lacking. The academic programs weren't very good and kind of left the kids falling behind. I had 2 good teachers that helped me with everything I needed, if not for them I would have quit. The extracurricular activities are there if you are in one of

I went to school here and I really hated it, and so dose my sister. My family dosen't have a name in this county and if you do the staff will treat you better then the rest of the studants.

As a parent I have to say there are far more lows for this school than highs. The school has great potential but until the school is separated from the political circle it doesn't have a chance.

If a student is wanting to come back to Dade County, then the school is great for them but if their dreams take them in a different direction, then they are not prepared and have to strive very hard to catch up. The focus is on the sports, and not the academic program. Students are awarded due to who they are related to and not their achievements. Read less
