I'm a student at Dickinson Highschool, I'm a senior and about to graduate. I think this school has some fantastic qualities to it, I think all the teachers are really caring, and the majority of students, especially those who are taking more advanced classes are actually into learning more. I'm glad I went to Dickinson Highschool, and I wouldn't have chosen any other school to attend!

I have friends who go here and they say that they really like DICKINSON and that they have wonderful teachers who love doing what they do best, so for you parents out there who try to do anything to keep your child as a friend is a sorry excuse. Don't try to be your kids friend because then they'll use anything to get you to fall for it, be a parent first and put them in tutoring because there are programs at the school to help bring up your child grade. Let's not forget you once used a sorry excuse to leave school like..."Mom I vomited come get me." or wake up saying this in the morning,"I don't feel good," and then when your parents go get dress you pretend you threw up." So saying that you had used excuses plenty of times to get out of school or to save yourself from getting in trouble. Because I had. Well I will be attending DICKINSON myself next year for a dual credit class. Be a parent first not a friend!!!

This school has some excellent AP/preAP teachers. As the parent of a sophomore I have yet to encounter or hear about any drug/ or violence issues that cause me any concern. Nice well maintained campus with many new facilities. If your child is a dedicated student they can get a lot out of their education here.

I am in the current senior class. class of 2012! This is a great school to be in if you take all AP classes and are willing to do the work. However, if you take regular classes, you get stuck with all the people that don't really care about an education and are just there for other reasons; regular are classes are going to be like these wherever you go. This year my sister graduated from DHS and will be attending the Business Honors program in the university of Texas at Austin. And I plan on attending an Ivy League Institution. Going to Dickinson has not hindered us in any way. Actually, it's because of all the great, extra- opportunity programs and great advanced placement teachers that we have been academically successful. Our parents didn't even finish High school in Mexico. And I have to say, Ive attendedd DISD school all of my life, and not once have I seen any sort of drug or heard of anyone using it at school. If your kid is using that excuse to justify his failure at school, don't use it to justify your failure as a parent.

Terrible school pulled my kid out as fast as i could. The teachers dont care about there education and the crime is bad. It was a constant battle to keep my kid on track and away from drugs. Do not enroll your child here.

My child hated this school. He had very few friends and even the ones he did have were terrible to him. The teachers do not care for the students and the school has a drug problem i would not recommend this school to anyone.

I am trying to get my kids out! As a parent of three students at the school I would urge other parents to not enroll their children in this High School if you have another choice. While school is what you make of it, and like all other schools there are good and bad teachers, this school has a very bad element to it. They have a terrible drug problem and crime is terrible. It has been a constant fight to keep my kids on track because of the influences they are exposed to here. We are actively looking for a way out.
