6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am not a parent but a person who attended here from 2019-2011 (can't remember). They treated me like I was a nobody because I didn't fall under most students "same mindset" then. I was a little special because of outside issues and they failed to understand that. I was sent to the office 5 times (one per day) and not allowed to participate in fun activities and forced to do work that I didn't understand. I was called a "trouble-maker" when I really didn't cause any trouble. I am NOT taking my future children here as they might be treated the same way I was.This is MY experience and don't let it discourage you if you plan to take your kid(s) (Special or not) here.Parent Review2y ago - Central Middle School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAfter the pandemic, students struggled to adapt to being in the classroom full time. While the teachers are excellent, there is many behavioral problems with students in the classroom and in the hallways. Bullying is almost a daily occurrence for some children. There are around 25-32 students in each classroom. This leads to less help from the teacher(s) giving the lesson.Other Review1y ago - Dover High School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSo, first of let me say that I’m not the best student when it comes to school, and other people’s experiences are their own. Personally though, I loved this school. My grades were below average and my social skills weren’t all that good. But while I couldn’t attend school due to my declining mental health, my counselor Ms Philips did not judge me and really got me back on track. Even let me attend important memorable senior events with my poor grades. [I was working hard towards success at the time though and eventually did graduate on time earlier this year. :)] I’ll just say that personally I feel as if this school is mostly a judge free zone, lots of diversity and just students doing their own thing! (It may be a few troublesome moments where fights would break out and it’s just because kids have their own problems socially, but staff break it apart fast and even saw a counselor calm a girl down in her office and console her. I happened to be in the back doing make-up school work when that happened.) So staff are nice and the teachers were understanding about my situations at home. Although I kept getting attendance letters because of my mental health, they gave me chance after chance and I’m grateful for that. I’m still sorry I wasn’t the best student--It was a me thing, I’m just so grateful that the teachers really helped me get to where I needed to be despite my problems. Thank you D highOther Review6mo ago - William Henry Middle School

"I lived in the neighborhood almost 3 years and it is very quiet. Be wary, they over charge for apartments in the spring and summer. I started payimg 975 a month for a 1 bed 1 bath in summer, come February they were offering 1 beds for 700-800. I am now ony 3rd lease and am only paying under 1060 because i agreed to a 15 month lease. There are people staying in 2 & 3 bed room apartments for less than what i am paying.They also increase rent every year. Also, when they say a room has been renovated, that just means they updated it from 1950's appliances to 1970's appliances. There is nothing renovated about my apartment, though they claim it is. It looks just like one of those cheap hotels."
