John Dewey High School

We offer an innovative form of education that empowers students to make responsible decisions. Our school is comprised of six small learning communities. Our small learning communities allow teachers to work with students for enrichment, remediation, and social engagement. Students receive the individualized attention found in a small school within the setting of a comprehensive high school. Our small learning communities prepare students for a variety of career pathways and college readiness programs in core subject areas including the arts, business, and technology.
