Things I enjoyed throughout my time in the Dearborn District are how there's something for everyone, meaning there's plenty of clubs, sports, and other activities for students to participate in. Another thing I liked about this district is the involvement the teachers, staff, and administration are with students. One thing I would want to see a change in the Dearborn School District is within the high schools the separation of students is very harsh, meaning that unless you are taking Ap classes/advanced classes certain teachers look down upon those students and feel the need to simplify the material because in their eyes, those students need it when in reality, those students are just fine but simply didn't take an advance course.
I attend DPS from grades 7-12. I very much liked it. Being white, I was a minority. Sometimes that did not work in my favor. I definitely prefer Catholic School, however, I made life long friends during my time in the Dearborn School system. Most of the teachers were great and willing to help!
The district is finally adding programming classes to their curriculum. Quite the wonderful development. However, when it comes to certain aspects they lack quite a bit. When it comes to preparations for resume building and interviews they literally have nothing. These are very crucial years where awards and other notable achievements are made, it would be better to offer such resources now than later so that graduating students are not lost when they get to college. Other than that the education is average and I wished that they offered more AP classes.
