It's small the classes are pretty small so there are more one on one time, and for the most part the majority of the teacher truely care about the education of each child.

I am very honered to say that my child attends Dorsey Attendance Center. We are pleased with all aspects of the school, most of all, Dorsey is a Level 5 Academic School. The teacher/ parent involvement is also outstanding. I would not consider another school in this area. Dorsey might not be the largest school, but it is by far the best.

I love Dorsey school I grew up their. When I send my child to school I know that she will be taken care of. Dorsey is a small school so students have the avantage of one on one time with teachers. Even though it is small a child always has somthing to do. The staff is great and will talk to any parents or students about grades or any other conserns.
