I have to disagree with the last review. I attended Dorman High from 1998 until 2002. I was in the band, the symphony, and spring musicals and I feel I was greatly rewarded for my talent and hard work. My family had very little money, and spent very close to nothing on my band activities. The music program generates tons of money for itself and the school, and the students are rewarded for that. The music programs at Dorman were my favorite aspect of the school while I was there. The academic programs (especially the huge list of AP classes available) are superior to most other schools in the state.
Dorman has an outstanding music and sports program but only students that have money will be recgonized for their music talent and hard work, but on the flip side if you're good athlete you are treated with royalty. The academic program at Dorman is good, but the teachers are not qualified and lack love and compassion. However, the principal Mr. Wyatt is great he tries to help you and give advice whenever possible. Dorman certainly hasn't made the cut with our family. We regret the day we came to Dorman.
I am not a parent, but I work with high school students and I am a Dorman Grad. I can honestly say that Dorman is one of the best, if not the best, High School I have ever had contact with. My education there prepared me well for College and Graduate School. The skills I learned at Dorman served me well in my higher education. Now with a Master's Degree, I can look back and see how Dorman played into my success in both that degree and my BA. You get out of an education what you put into it. No matter how good the teaching is, if you put nothing in, you will take nothing away! The opportunities are abundant at Dorman - excellent programs, high quality teaching, a wide variety of disciplines and advanced courses. What the individual student does with them is a personal choice.
