My experience here was not good at all. I was targeted for being different. They tried to kick me out over trivialities, and I had to contact the ACLU to get any peace. I found out after graduating that I am Autistic, and I've been receiving treatment that has changed my life for the better. So many of my friends who went here have overdosed or are just not succeeding. The school doesn't seem to care about making sure early intervention is available or offered. They were more invested in having children expelled or criminally charged. I have since moved from the area, and I've done great with overcoming a lot of the issues this school caused. I really think a lot of it is a community issue. Dobson is economically depressed, poor resources, more emphasis on police activity rather than community resources to reduce poverty. I see how my daughter's experience is now, and it just amazes me what this small town school was capable of doing. I wonder how many futures were destroyed that could have been salvaged. I don't feel like we were ever seen as children who needed guidance and understanding. You were either well off and popular, ignored, or actively sabotaged by staff.

The principal, Dr. White, has been horrible to our child and honestly the worst teacher or principal I have met. Do not send your child here.
