Aspects of the high school that are terrific - but other areas need to improve. Our kids have had a number of talented & committed teachers. They have also had a few that we wish they had not - those that are ready to retire, or not invested in the kids & making learning active and fun. The high school offers challenging courses, and some AP options. The music program is amazing! Kids are afforded the opportunity to begin orchestra and band at an early age, and their skills are crafted throughout their academic careers. The music teachers are very qualified and passionate about their work.
We have been disappointed in is the school spirit or culture. Attendance at sporting events is weak, and kids don't get excited about or attend dances. "Special days" that are designed to be fun and show school spirit are lacking. Im not sure what that is a reflection of, but as a parent, it is disappointing to see.

There are many friendly people there and many of the teachers and staff are willing to help. I wish there was more of a personable connection with guidance counselors, at the high school level, and if you had a problem you could choose who to talk to and not just be told you have to talk to your assigned counselor by your last name. Overall, my experience at Duneland was amazing and the teachers I had in elementary school still remember me and want to check up on me! I would not change my time at Duneland one bit.
Duneland has served me very well- the teachers seem supported, and genuinely care about the well being and progress of the students. Affectionately, I deem the school a load of nerds, because Duneland is very academically oriented and we have very strong theater, arts and debate programs. Chesterton (where the school is located) is a nice, sleepy town, and therefore presents very few issues in terms of disruption during the school day, and danger in the surrounding area. The thing I would change is that there is little social awareness within Chesterton High School as to how amazingly small the percentage of people of color is within our schools. There is rampant ignorant hate speech among those who are privileged enough to not feel the effect of those words. But such is life. I just wish the administration would address that a little bit more.
