Dover-Sherborn Regional High School Reviews
Rating 3.92 out of 5 86 reviews
BEWARE! This district has been known for academic excellence in the past but has dropped significantly in its rankings from 1 to 9 & could drop even further as it is now making diversity & inclusion work a top priority. Although creating a diverse and inclusive environment is a laudable goal, it can’t be at the cost of sacrificing academics which need a lot of work & attract people to the district. The school committee is extremely polarized & is poised to take “urgent, bold, consequential action” without full support of the community. Many families have & will be sending their kids to other schools outside of the DS district. Explore the district’s website,watch the 6/16/21, 6/14/22 and 1/17/23 joint school committee meetings, familiarize yourself with the district leadership & consultants & get yourself very informed before investing in this community & school district.Property value relies on the reputation of the schools which are declining. Make a choice with your eyes wide open!
Just love this school district and the value they put on education AND inclusion. Our children are heard with this new administration and how they approach balance of academic rigor and adolescent social development and mental well-being. Those who disagree care about dumb rankings like Niche, Boston & US News, and that is why our children suffer the consequences and succumb to unnecessary pressure often leading to unhealthiness, anxiety and depression. Steer clear of reviews like the one below. It’s inaccurate. As far as diversity is concerned, in these two sleepy suburb communities, the numbers mirror most towns of these sizes in race and income. Bussing children in from other communities has created success for some, but tends to add stress to the children without means as comparisons steal joy.
I enjoyed my time at this school. All the students are kind and I have not witnessed any bullying or hazing in the 10 years I have been in the district. The community is very tight-knit since there are so few people, so everyone knows everyone. The sports and clubs are also very well funded. Additionally, the academics are great as well. Most teachers enjoy their job and love teaching, while still providing very challenging material. Since it is a public school, there are still a few teachers that are exceptions. My only complaints are that the lunch food is not that good and there is almost no diversity, but everything else is still good.
