My son had a wonderful freshman year. He made many new friends and all teachers are very supportive.

Not the best experience with Yolanda Prado being supportive to my daughter during her transition. I would recommend documenting any and everything from the start due to inconsistency with transparency here with this school counselor

My daughter is currently attending this High School. Her first year was okay. She is really enjoying the current year, so far. Her teachers and class curriculum have improved from the previous year. I’ll update again next year.

Not a good school. Many families wish they can get out of here faster. Some good teachers left.

I went to this high school for my freshman and sophomore years. My overall experience was great. I think the teachers and what was expected of students was great. It was definitely harder academically than the school I went to in Louisana for my junior and senior years, but I got much more out of this school than that one.. I did have a severe issue with bullying in the middle school in Dublin though, which carried over for a few months to Dublin high school… nothing was ever done to stop the bullying by the principal at the time, etc. Luckily for me, those individuals dropped out pretty quickly due to pregnancy or whatever was going on in their lives and I didn’t have to see them ever again after freshman year.

This school was all around a pretty average school. While the statistics make it look great many kids suffer from mental health problems because of the amount of stress put in students. Also the social scene at the school is up and down with some people talking of toxic people and drama while other people being kind, doing amazing things and never complaining about an issue. The staff is also incredibly nice. I remember once i paid for a kids ice cream at our homecoming fair and the kid ended up being a child of a staff member who paid me back double what I had paid for her kid. It really showed me how there are still kind people in this world and that people do appreciate your kindness. Even with the staff being nice though, I feel as if they have a disconnect with students and their teaching styles can really make it hard for kids to learn. Overall, this school has its pros and cons. I miss the good times I had at this school and it will forever hold a special place in my heart. It has its pros and cons, and your experience truly revolves around the people around you both staff and student.

If I'm honest, it's the students that make this school, not really teachers, not the facilities, and definitely not administration.

Dublin High School has been overall an extremely positive experience for my child so far. The teachers academically are very motivated, highly prepared and knowledgeable in their areas and equally as important, are very kind and caring towards students for the most part. The sports programs are highly competitive and very developed with some of the best athletics in the region. There are a multitude of clubs and extracurricular that is available to the kids. The student body is diverse and very education focused. The administration and leadership is college focused. The only areas of improvement would be the over crowding which was of course a district level oversight in insufficient planning and foresight to accomodate the needs of an quickly rising student population count. There also seems to be the issue of an increasing amount of politics between the teachers and the school board. Other than that this is definitely been one of the outstanding High Schools in the area.

This school is the worst of the worst. Came from a low income city and was ignored and discriminated. Their mindset is very different from people who's lived in middle and poor income cities. They are very polite but fake. When people think of rich people, they think of cocky and arrogant people. This is the truth in Dublin. The students pretend to be close with each other, but in reality betray each other in an instant. The teachers are also distant and not the best at teaching academics. The only reason why they have such high test scores because the majority of the student population has parents who pay money to enroll their children in academic classes outside of school. The teachers play no role in the high scores from the students. All in all, if you live outside the triValley area, you will not get used to the way Dublin operates.

Largest regret I have is taking my kids out of private school and putting them in Dublin public schools. Checking a box is all they care about. And 2000 students? That's a joke. Very overcrowded. Yet another reason for them to focus on check boxes versus the children.

I feel like at Dublin High people always act like they don't care about school and all they talk about is driving and getting into relationships and most of them are just SO judgemental and they treat certain people badly if they don't "fit in", etc. They wear clothes that show their cleavage all the time and no one dress cuts them, in fact I've heard teachers and these horrible "supervisors" COMPLIMENT them for showing off their body so much. Freshmen go off campus and never get caught. They assume things about you instead of using their mouth to ask. They disrespect teachers right in front of their faces and complain about having to do even the slightest amount of work. They cuss non-stop in every sentence and are really disrespectful and narrow-minded. They do not welcome new comers from outside of the TriValley area. I have moved OVER 11 TIMES in my life and gone to 8 DIFFERENT SCHOOLS and never have I ever been as stressed as I was this year at THIS school. Overall, the people at this school really anger me and I'm SO glad that I'm MOVING.

Best school ever. I really mean it! Academics, sports, staff, kids are all above the average.

Most of the teachers I had were willing to help students and care about their success after graduation. Student and academic diversity is improving such as the mechanical engineering and the completed remodeling of school infrastructure. However, I realized that students in this school are not open to newcomers outside of the Tri-Valley. New students who attempted to make friends there were ignored until they join popular cliques and engage in drinking outside of campus. Popular students and their parents are the main driving force of student leadership programs and parts of school administration. Because of this, other students outside of their circle have little say in meetings or school functions, and tend to get away with school violations behind closed doors.

Cannot say enough about the athletic programs at DHS. The staff in the office is amazing!

We transfered our son to Dublin High from a private high school and our experience has been nothing short of positive. Excellent new facilitiies and a safe environment with caring teachers. Absolultely no evidence of bullying and our son is very happy with his new friendships . I would recommend this school to anyone seeking a high quality and caring acedmic environment. Excellent academics, including Science-Technology,-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) programs. Our son is in the engineering program and as a high school sophomore was already receiving national certifications and college credits. High quality teachers who clearly demonstrate a genuine desire to see their students succeed.

Wish I could give this school minus 5 stars!! Academically Dublin High has alot to offer however due to rampant bullying cliques the school is deficient in providing students a safe learning environment. I enrolled my child there in Dec. of 2013. He was new to the Dublin schools. A group of bullies constantly harassed him. He had dirty water thrown on him, was pantsed and taunted daily. The school officials were supposedly concerned , however when it came to disciplining the offenders (or holding them accountable) there were no real consequences. Not once, was there ever a class on "bullying an assembly or information sent home regarding bullying. The administrators right up to the superintendent (whom I spoke with several times) give lip service instead of proactively making the school a safe and pleasant environment for students to receive an education. I would never ever recommend any child go to Dublin High School.

Dublin High School recently had a lot of renovations/new structures due to bonds provided by the Dublin homeowners. New gym, stadium, theater, class rooms, cafeteria. This is totally different from Dublin High if you look at reviews 2-3 years ago. Major renovation has been done as well new programs are added. There is now an engineering track that helps students who wants to pursue engineering course during college. Students are now more diversed and parents are more involved. DHS even surpassed one of the HS across town in terms of API grades and score here at greatschools. My son graduated here and my youngest son is now a freshman. I would recommend this school to everybody, if you live across town you will sometimes hear pleasanton parents trying to transfer their son to DHS, that's the truth. Check it out first if you want to see the improvements that's currently happening, it looks world class now.

This is an excellent school. I have been going here for a few years now, and it is amazing. Although it is smaller than the other schools in the area, due to the diverse student body and many Clubs/Organizations/Sports, I have made many new friends from different backgrounds, which has given me many off-campus opportunities and achievements. I never feel socially intimidated at all, and it is a very safe campus, barely any fights, arguments etc The Engineering program is great, the equipment + material is modern, and there are new classes added every year.. Most of my classes are Advanced/AP, and I find that it is alot easier to get into those vs. other schools, because our class sizes are much smaller (as low as 15 kids). Of course those are difficult, but it is leveraged with the helpfulness of the teachers, most teachers who teach these will be willing to tutor you 1:1 after school, and there are things like peer tutoring and Tutoring University the evening before Math tests, free of charge. Like any high school, there are groups of kids that can influence you badly. There are VERY few, but you should know how to act around them and make good decisions.
