I am so happy that my son attended Dedham High School! DHS has a wonderful community lead by a very involved principal and excellent teachers. DHS offers so many AP classes that your child will be challenged. My son was in control of his academic experience, but his teachers were actively involved and offered him excellent guidance. His teachers were very caring, so ignore comments to the contrary! My son and his friends were all admitted to great colleges/universities. You don't need to send your child to a private high school. Dedham High offers everything your child needs to succeed.

Limited choices as students. If not in honors or other more advanced classes students are very demotivated, whether it be because of the school or other reasons. But the school does offer you the chance to succeed

I like Dedham High as a school, but the amount offered is limited. If Dedham were to invest more in extracurricular activities and smaller class size, I would give it a higher rating
