School Reviews
| 5 Dorman is an excellent school. The teachers here are the best and really care about the students. There are plenty of opportunities to do well if the kids will take advantage of them. I love Dorman and wouldn't go anywhere else. It's like a big family. - Posted by Student/Alumni - carol |
| 2 It's a good school, but I've noticed alot of the students are pessimmistic and don't really care about much. The teachers try hard, but the students are the problem. Many parents aren't very involved - Posted by Student/Alumni - voirm |
