First of all let me say that all of the Dickinson High School bashers, are wrong. Dickinson is such a beautiful campus. It is growing so fast and is really giving the city of Dickinson a name. Yes there are areas in dickinson that are unsafe and eyesores but every city has them. Dickinson has so much

The hole book situation..... we've/ I've always had books. Never in my elementry through high school years have I not come home with books. Actually every year I get too many books from english, pre-cal, chemistry, US history and spanish. The first day of school I get over loaded with books. Maybe class sets are not as avalible but homework will not hurt.Ilovethedickinsongators! Read less

As a former student, and now parent of 3 students that attend DHS, I love it. DHS, like other public schools is what you make of it. The teachers at DHS are wonderful! I believe another parent wrote that the kids just don't care. I think she is right, but they have special/advanced classes for those

You have those in every school, even the private ones that you pay an arm and leg for. As far as text books, they have them, but what do you need that for when all public schools are so focused on TAKS. Public schools no longer teach the same way, no more need for the text books. Thank our state for that, not the district. Read less

As a former student of DHS, i am proud to say that the year i spend in the paint chipped crowded hallway were the happiest of my life. We had teachers who cared, a great variety of after school activities and personally i remember being given another chance more than once when a teaher or principal saw

I am a student at Dickinson High School at this moment and there is nothing I dont like about it. It is a great atmosphere to grow and learn in. Now it may not be rated the best school in Texas but it sure is great for me the only thing i dont like is some of the dresscode.

I am a currently a senior at Dickinson High School and I would like to point out to the parents that the most intelligent comment on this site, about DHS, came from a former student. No, we do not all have text books yes, some of our teachers are under qualified BUT, for those students who, like myself

The problem is not that of the whole but of the many students that just don't care. I for one think that if a parent intends to insult or criticize DHS that they attend Lighted Windows Open Doors (yes we have a tutoring program!!) and learn how to speak properly before doing so again.

I have nothing good to say about this school in particular. For instance last year I was informed that although the school had the money to purchase textbooks, there were no funds to ship them from the warehouse to the school, thus my kids did not have textbooks. I have yet in four years to have either
... Read more of my kids receive any type of homework, or bring home any school projects, yet report cards and progress reports come home saying there is a lack of turned in assignments with no other word of what or when they were not submitted. How can a child bring home grades that are subpar, and not once is a parent contacted by either a teacher or counsellor to let them know if there is a problem and where it lies. As a future educator, I hope I dont end up there. Read less

I am a guardian over my nephew who is attending Dickinson School District. My problem last year and this year is the fact that students are not given homework because I have been told twice, they do not return homework. So they are given time in class to complete their assignments. The students are not

There are some teachers who have no control on the class room yet that child is expected to pay attention and listen (over the roar) and then to understand enough to pass. I am not saying all teachers have this problem and I do know there are some great teachers. But overall I have a very poor rating for the Dickinson public school. Read less

Dickinson ISD had teachers that were more worried about being nice then about being good, make that great teachers. Just because your students like you doesnt mean they can read, write or divide.

I would like to talk about 'INCONSISTENCY'.The quality of education is very different from one classroom to the next. When 2 students come from Geometry, and enter Algebra 2,They should be at the same level. NOT SO! It totally depends on who you're teacher was.They teach from the same book,but obviously
... Read more not from the same level. Other 'INCONSISTENSIES' would include DRESS CODE! This is a joke to my children and their friends. If they have the right group of teachers, dress code does not exsist.If they have a particular one or two certain teachers, Then DRESS CODE is enforced. What does this teach our children? The most acceptable way of learning and parenting is to be consistent. Why can't this be accomplished in the schools where our children are suopposed to learn how to cope in life and prepare for their future? Read less
