Dixon High School in North Carolina has ongoing problems with hygiene, bullying, and discrimination. The school has rat infestations, filthy restrooms, and overall poor maintenance. Additionally, there are persistent issues of racism, colorism, and bullying, with both students and some staff members contributing to a hostile environment. Despite complaints, the administration fails to take meaningful action, leaving students and parents frustrated. Urgent improvements are needed to ensure a safe and inclusive school environment.

Like the other recent review I saw, I found that the old reviews did not capture my current experience with Dixon Elementary. BLUF: I'm VERY pleased with the experience we've had over the last two years from 2023- present, and all you MILSOs/AD/Vets, you can breathe a sigh of relief. I have two school age children, both enrolled in Dixon and their experience has been fantastic thus far- from the outstanding "Leader In Me" values, skills and perspectives the teachers are reinforcing daily, to the enthusiasm for learning and excitement to learn MORE once they come home. My children often earn awards reinforcing their interest in the school, and there isn't are no "participation trophies" that I've seen or heard about in relation to student performance on the curriculum. Additionally, the gifted program added rocket fuel to my oldest child's enthusiasm for school, which genuinely feels like a progressive value-add, challenge program from what I can tell. This in turn increased mt youngest child's interest in academic pursuits and lifelong learning. Although I'd LOVE for homelife to take all the credit, the curiosity my kids come home with is definitely something I attribute to the great work of the teachers and staff at the school. All that said, maybe it's just teacher's we've gotten, but my kids are happy, healthy, learning and growing. As long as that's the case, I'd bet on Dixon, every time.

this school is so horrible. There’s so much racism, homophobia, hate, bullying etc. if you’re slightly different you’ll get bullied. There was multiple attempted STABBINGS and death threats this year. The school cop does nothing about it, there’s even a viral video of a mom talking to him and him saying it’s not his responsibility to protect the students. I was a student this year and I’m so happy I’m moving schools. Teachers were horrible, said to not email them, didn’t want us to ask about missing assignments etc, barely taught us, and were bullies themselves. The teachers obviously had favorites and any other students they would target. kids were saying slurs 24/7, including the n word. There was a 6th grade student who got inappropriate photos of herself leaked along with videos of her doing bad things.. if you go to the school never have your air drop on.
