POOR My son was bullied every day until finally this April he was punched and kicked badly, I had to transfer him 2 months before the end of the school year because the Principal did nothing about it. Among things that happened during school year, a sub teacher locked my son inside a closet and the school didn't notify me. My son was cut in the neck by a class mate during class time - do not send your child if not aggressive to this school. all kids are very aggressive at Dimmit.

I LOVE Dimmitt! If you like having fun while learning, I definitely suggest going to this school. The staff is amazing, some might be strict, but most of them are pretty chill. The music programs (band, choir, orchestra) are extremely fun, and the teacher is awesome. I HIGHLY suggest coming to this school!

The issue at Dimmitt is administration turn over (no administrator/team ) has stuck around for more than 2-3 years. Also 25-30 % turnover of teachers each year. It's basically a training school for administrators, and to a lesser degree teachers.Possible human resources (district) issue.

Do not let your student come to this school! Its nothing but problems! The kids dont respect the teachers and other kids will pick on yours if your child doesnt seem to "fit in" . The academic level is ok but the enviorment is so not worth your child going through the embarrasement of the school life here at Dimmit. If possible move to a different location to where your student could go to Nielsen or McKnight. So much more worth it!

I am seriously not impressed by this school. After looking at reports of incidents that recently occurred at Dimmitt, I recommend that you do not send your children there, there are many proven bullies. The government needs to fill Dimmit MS with new staff because no matter what they say they will do, IT NEVER SIGNIFICANTLY GETS BETTER. Really. This is just awful.
