i am currently a senior (class of 09') and i feel that Dover is a great school. the school looks great with the new track out front and the bleachers, hopefully that will contribute to a more motivated football team. your whole high school career you can't wait to graduate, but i can't wait to come back to visit:]

I graduated in 2008, and i feel like Dover provided me with the classes and learning capable to be successful in college. Although some teachers were dull, others were amazing. The sports may not be the greatest, but Dover def has spirit, at least my graduating class did, I miss the atmosphere hahard to say but i miss the

I am an alumni of Dover, graduate of the 2008 class. I have to say, while some teachers are boring or can be a pain to have a class with, the better teachers there are some of the best people I know. While I do not miss attending Dover, everyday I miss the people I have met there. To any student at Dover: you may not like the classes, but enjoy every moment of your experience in High School. The people you meet there and the times you have are undoubtedly some of the best of your life.

I am a student at DHS. In a students point of veiw the kids behaviors here are terrible. They have no respect at all for their teachers. They students do not get the attention that they need and I feel along with other most teachers here pick favorites. And to sum it all up the sports are horrible there is no spirit what so ever. I cant wait to graduate.

I'm a student here and I think that the school needs a lot of work. First of all they need to get out of the block schedule and secondly they need to work on their communication skills. By this I mean summer assignments and AR reading. The block schedule is horrible, it blocks our learning! The school district shouldn't be so cheap,they should hire more teachers.They have a long way to go.

I went to Dover schools my whole life and then my family moved to red hook and I missed Dover so I moved back in the 11th grade and graduated with all my friends. I think Dover has great schools. So there might not be a lot to do there but the environment is wonderful and the people are great.

through the eyes of a student at DHS,It's not good.not a lot of the underclassmen have spirt and the most of the teachers don't have the dedication to it... I failed math because I wasn't getting the attention I needed. We don't have high scores on our test or reagents. the sports teams are horrible and we lose most games but the one good thing is our drama club, band, and chorus groups there the only thing good in our school

I mean we have a small class size which is great and also I know we dont have the best athletics but going to the games is always fun and there is always a packed house.

Most of the teachers in this school are not dedicated to the higher education of its children. Kids do not learn much in this school, I have had three children attend this school and two of them have failed because of the lack of teacher dedication.
