The school focuses too much on football and cheerleading, and barely aknowleges other groups. Also, many teachers and students don't respect opinions that differ from a Catholic viewpoint and will be extremely rude and condemning to those who don't align with church teaching. There are, like in any school, some bad teachers and some good ones but, the theology department is the worst. There are few good teachers in that department. This may be due to them not being required to have a teaching liscence at all or the fact that they don't care about the students. This is a major issue because parents pay 7,000+ dollars a year to have their children get a Catholic education. Even though the school has many issues, it has some upsides. I love the drama and music department and have found many great people there that I am proud to call my friends. Dwenger is a good place for anyone who loves music and theatre. It is also has a lot of great classes and academic opportunities. This is why I have said my experience thus far has been average at Dwenger.

I love the fact that Bishop Dwenger has a great sense of family. Our son, a sophomore, has adjusted very well, and is very happy. That is always a good thing. We are blessed!
