I was very lucky to go to Dakota valley high school. In my viewpoint Dakota Valley is a very fortunate school in the tri-state area. We not only have the highest grading scale, but our teachers thrive to make us better students. One thing that I loved about Dakota Valley was every teacher knew you by your name. At Dakota Valley you weren’t just a number but you were what made the school better. Another thing that I liked about Dakota Valley was the grading scale. In the tri-state area, (union, Woodbury, and Dakota county) Dakota Valley has the toughest grading scale and it made us work harder for what we wanted. Lastly, there is only one thing I would change about Dakota Valley and that is the diversity in the school. By all means it is getting better, but DV is mainly a white preppy school. In the future I would love to see other nationalities within the school district.
My experience at Dakota Valley High School has been amazing. First of all, there are plenty of choices for academics. I also love how there are AP courses available and how we are able to take college courses online starting out junior year. There are also a plethora of options for fun clubs to join. Some examples of clubs that are available are: FBLA, HOSA, Science Olympiad, Quiz Bowl, Theater, Spanish Club and more. One thing that I absolutely love about Dakota Valley is that they are always trying to make things better for us students. For instance, we just got a brand new high school that is absolutely amazing. Also, almost every year new courses are added that we are allowed to take. Another new thing that I am excited about is that they are going to offer an internship program starting next semester. Overall, Dakota Valley High School is an absolutely amazing high school.
Dakota Valley feels like a small town school, but with significant opportunity for our students. We have great team sports, great teachers, and are really growing our arts programs! The district is only 24 years old, so it has really grown quickly over that time period. Brand new modern facilities give our students a leg up!!
