Dillard High School

Posted August 24, 2009

My daughter is a student at Dillard, in the performing art magnet program; She started 10th grade today! She enjoyed her freshman year last year. She took AP and honors courses and did fairly well; with the exception of her AP English class. Her teacher was one of those, as previous reviewers mentioned, did care one way or the other, if she passed or failed. I am happy to say that she did Pass English (language arts) but with little help from this teacher. On the other hand, she took a robotics class that she totally enjoyed and much of that is due to the kindness, dedication and respect she received from Mr. Meyers. All of the extra activities, Football, basketball, Marching Band (yea!) are all outstanding. The dedication that the coaches, music teachers, dance teachers, etc., they have for the students and the school are outstanding! Go Panthers!! <3

This School has a great magnet performing arts program that everyone should be dying to get into. We work very hard as students and love what we do. As for the teachers most of them just give work and could care less what you do with the information in the textbook.To me its like if your family isn't from around the school or wasn't a graduate of the school you get treated differently by certain staff members. Don't get me wrong some teachers are great but some just don't have the passion for teaching as others. Honestly I feel that the worst teachers and staff members are the ones who graduated from the school. They are so lazy and mean. Truly I only stay here for the magnet program because its a great program and I can say that coming to dillard has made me happy for the most part:)

I am a 2008 graduate of Dillard High school..member of the tech program.. i didnt like the program because i wasnt interested in what they offered but it was a really good program..they had numerous activities for students and creative programs to enter into..as far as the academic goes..it was fair..it wasnt the best because first of all its not a high quality school where we can afford the best books and best teachers so we work with what we have..and if students arent applying theirself then thats them..i recieved a 19 on my ACT which isnt bad..if i were to take it again im sure i wouldve recieved a 20..so dillard isnt all that bad..especially with the extracurricular activities like the cheerleading team..which is the best by the way..me being one for four years..so i wouldnt down this school because it does have positive aspects despite its negative comments..
