I absolutely love my school. Our school has the best athletes, most disciplined students, most diverse students, and have the highest success ranks in our area! I personally love my school because of how determined for success all the students are. It is very motivations and productive environment to be around. We also have amazing teachers who push us to be our best and teach us everything we need to know. We have a very professional admin and faculty!
Dickinson Independent School District is honestly alright. Not perfect, not terrible, but it's okay! They're a plethora of clubs and organizations to join at the High School and the CTE programs are amazing! I just believe that it could be better you know? The food is TERRIBLE; Tastes terrible and looks terrible. The teachers though are something. I've had my fair share of good teachers here but some of them are just lousy and lazy. The number one priority of a teacher should be to make sure their students excel and prepare them for the whole year and the rest of their lives, not just a test.
DISD does well to provide programs that can help students with goals ranging from going on to college to going right into the work force. With majority of students who go to Dickinson coming from low-income households, the district is usually very good about keeping prices for things like AP tests and field trips low. For the motivated student, Dickinson is a great environment to learn and aspire towards higher education or finding work. However, as with every school district there are issues with disruptive behavior from other students and petty crime. I would like to see less aggressive behavior in the halls and fewer instances of the fire alarm going off from someone vaping in the bathroom, but I see these as more cultural issues that I'm not sure the school district is equipped to solve.
