This was the worse 4 years of my life. Do not send your kids to this school unless you want your kids to need lifelong therapy. This school consistently has bullying take place and even sexual harassment which is not dealt with at all by the administration. People at this school often judge people for their own life choices and sometimes are mean for no reason other than to be cruel. Nobody is actually your real friend usually. At one point the school allowed kids to get on their phones a lot which lead to even more cyberbullying. The fights/problems at the school are always recorded and spread around. They do not discipline kids at all and let problems repeat. Just a few of the teachers select favorites and did not correct kids when they were being mean to others right in front of their face. One good thing is that some of the teachers are really good people that actually care about the students at this school and go out of their way to actually make connections/mentor them.

Excellent! My son was in private school during part of his elementary years but I transferred him to public to be challenged. Now he is number 1 in his class and his PSAT scores are remarkable, his grades are excellent and he is continuing to take AP and honors class all while in the marching band

My son is challenged everyday in his AP and honors classes. He has scored in the top 95% in his PSAT Test during his 10th grade.

As a parent of three children that all attend Dover school district I am very pleased with the schools. Parents have to get involved.

Except for the english department, the teachers give no effort and the students follow suit. There's no energy, and apathy just takes over.

There is no fairness delivered by the hands of the administration, and it trickles down to all of us. The discipline is hollow, and the students who are obnoxious and absolutely terrible aren't corrected.

I have been a student of this school for three years and it is absolutely baffling. The system in place to teach students removes any sort of connection to the teacher, exceptions only made when the teacher knows that to be human and to not act like a robot makes the experience worthwhile for all parties involved. This is heightened by the fact that, in a class with terrible students, any student who strives to learn and get good grades has to fight an uphill war. None of the staff members actually try to maintain the classroom, many teachers even laughing along with the students and wasting everybody's time. This has happened with at least one class every semester for the last three years. When the student who tries to learn like this gives up, they're the ones who get reprimanded by both teacher and the administration, while the root of the problem is untouched (the English department, though, is the exception, as well as some other teachers). Couple this with the unbearable stupidity of the administration's decisions (changing the set up of class structure every year, for example) and it's a sum of a school that is just intolerable.

n October 2004 Dover Area School District changed its biology teaching curriculum to require that intelligent design was to be presented as an alternative to evolution theory, with Of Pandas and People to be used as a reference book. The plaintiffs successfully argued that intelligent design is a form of creationism, and that the school board policy violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The ruling concluded that intelligent design is not science, and permanently barred the board from "maintaining the ID Policy in any school within the Dover Area School District, from requiring teachers to denigrate or disparage the scientific theory of evolution, and from requiring teachers to refer to a religious, alternative theory known as ID. "The eight Dover school board members who voted for the intelligent design requirement were all defeated in a November 8, 2005 election by challengers who opposed the teaching of intelligent design in a science class, and the school board president stated that the board did not intend to appeal the ruling.
