Dimond High School Reviews
Rating 3.72 out of 5 251 reviews
I have enjoyed my experience at Dimond high school. I am currently a Junior in the Alaska middle college program so I no longer attend Dimond, but I did enjoy how welcoming everyone is there. The staff works really hard to make sure that their students are doing well in their classes and they try hard to build relationships as well. I have connected with so many staff members and I am glad that I was able to build a relationship with them over the years. I have enjoyed the after-school sports that they provide because they really strive to make each kid better.
I liked the years that I spent at Dimond even though I was attending the school during the pandemic I wouldn't trade it for any other school. My favorite part about the school is the sports and the school spirit. I liked how everyone came out to support each other and all of the teams were respectful to each other. I love the staff they make an effort to connect with their students and I will remember the kindness that they showed me. I wish there was more diversity at our school because our school isn't that diverse. I also wish there was a dance team because that is one club that we don't have.
Dimond High School is a wonderful school. In my own experience the teachers have all been really great and truly care about their students. I personally love how caring and understanding the teachers are. If you are having a rough time or something is going on they encourage you to talk about it and they will do their best to help. I also think that student government does a great job putting together fun events and activities. The only thing that I would say is that sometimes the people can be pretty cocky and think that they are all high and mighty. This can be seen in the song "Best in the land", which a lot of people use to back up their point. I understand that this is school pride, but it isn't ok when it gets to the point of bringing other people from different schools done. I have seen students say things or do things that really don't need to be said or done even if that is how you feel. However, this is mostly the students and not the schools problem.
