DHS Class of 2008 — Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000

My thoughts in response to all the comments about Dublin High, I graduated class of 2008 from Dublin High. I received an almost perfect on the exit exams and I scored high on my college entrance exams. If you ask me, DHS is one of the best schools a student could go to. The teachers CARE about the students and want to make sure all do well. That is what makes a school, not a football team, not if they charge millions for tuition, and especially not just for the amount of students who are in AP classes.

Hey, think about it, in Olympics, even 0.01 second counts; in sports, even 1 point counts. So why doesn’t 3% in school ranking count? 3% will allow many more students to go to top colleges. That is the difference.

What you are saying would be more credible if you can provide more details about your high school. You can boast whatever you want but smart people in Dublin can easily figure out whether you are lying.

With all this nick-picking on a few percentage difference, has anyone compared the amount of parental pressure and teen suicide rates at these schools? I’d rather not sent my kids to schools where the parents are that intense.

Wow, are we saying a school is bad if it’s only in the top 6% instead of top 3% nationwide? I went to a similar high school and ALL my high school friends went on to very prestigious colleges (mostly private) and graduate/professional schools like ivy leagues, Stanford, University of Chicago, etc. I’m sure those colleges won’t pick a B student over an A student just because the B student came from a top 3% (and not a lowly top 6% high school).
