Dover High serves many students from different backgrounds and abilities. The school re-opened in a brand new building just a few years ago, where today's students benefit from major leaps in classroom technology, beautiful athletic facilities, and a wonderful new theater. A few highlights:- The Career Technical Center offers students the opportunity to earn credits and advanced degrees in a variety of vocations including: culinary arts, cosmetology, nursing, automotive technology, welding, early childhood education, ROTC, fire science, and more!- Dover is a model for other schools in the state for its Special Education and Unified Sports programs. Students of all abilities can play and learn together through soccer, volleyball, bowling, P.E. class, and more. The school is well-known for it's outstanding Special Education programming and community support for Special Olympics.- Academically, I graduated well-prepared for my Ivy League college courses on the same playing field as my private school peers.As a student, I felt incredibly supported by all my teachers and the faculty at Dover. Unfortunately the school falls victim to teachers leaving for other neighboring districts with higher pay (something I hope they will course correct for asap), but those who've stayed truly 'bleed green'...many are DHS alumni themselves who couldn't imagine teaching anywhere else. I am grateful to Dover High for the opportunity to learn alongside students from all different backgrounds and from dedicated teachers committed to my success. I would enthusiastically send my children here versus the local private schools any day!

I used to go to Dover schools from 2nd to 7th grade and recently moved at the end of the seventh grade school year. My honest opinion about the school is that I would not recommend sending your child here number one the teachers don’t care a single bit if any of the students actually learn anything. I will admit that I wasn’t the best student grades wise, but still I pushed to try to get some extra help. I even talked to the guidance counselor about it and they shrugged off and refuse my request for help. There was constantly broken, sinks, toilets, soap, dispensers, towel, dispensers, etc… they also didn’t crack down on any bad behavior or bullying at all. The students here are toxic and not great influences. I only knew a few girls that didn’t vape or smoke. Aside from that the school lunches were horrible. None of the vending machines worked and the school overall just needs some maintenance I think.

Wondering why the kids aren't getting any better with reading. Well because library time is now play time with no reading time during library. I asked the kids why aren't they reading during library. They explained library time is now socializing time instead of reading time . That's just great ! Public schools are failing our children.
