I'm sharing my experience as an alum of the 90’s.
This school has come a long way since 1993, where fights broke out weekly, and cafeteria food fights were a regular common threat. By 1996, there were no fights - food, fists, or otherwise.
Academics: I took a handful of AP classes, so I'll comment on those. Although my friends and I weren't valedictorians, we were were competing with the top 10% of the graduating peers regularly. And several of these students went on to good colleges (Rice, Stanford, Northwestern, etc) and careers that many people deem successful: doctors, lawyers, engineers.
AP class teachers: I'd say 90% of the AP teachers weren't just good, they were excellent. They displayed aptitude and care, the two most important ingredients in a teacher.
AP Calculus (EVERY one of Mr. Lewis's students scored a 4 or a 5 on the AP exam)
AP Chemistry (Ms Gornek had a fun way of explaining Chemistry to teenagers...and a practical way to motivate them to learn the material. Great AP teacher.)
AP Physics (Ms Matney had numerous students ace the AP exam)
AP Spanish (Ms Garza cared passionately for her students)
Non-AP class teachers: It's a mixed bag. Some are great, most are good, some you can tell do not want to be there. But for the most part, I was happy with my experience.
Sports: Also a mixed bag. There are a handful of students and coaches who demonstrated care for sports more than for academics. Some coaches actually tried hard at teaching PE and Health classes, like the football training coach who taught my health class and the baseball coach who taught my PE class. Some coaches you can tell cared only for coaching his big sports athletes. For example, the cross-country coach (also the basketball coach) rarely interacted with his runners, opting to spend all of his time with his basketball players and other coaches.
While on the track team, I got exposed to the athlete sub-culture, which was a 180 degree turn from the AP classes sub culture. Two examples: (1) During down time, the athletes (still teenagers) routinely bragged about getting girls into bed. (2) During one track meet trip, while the bus was on the road, my peers threw trash out of the bus onto other cars, just for the fun of it.
Complaint: The only complaint I have is scheduling structure, which was consistent across all Ft Bend ISD schools, not just at Dulles. There were three lunch periods: A (40 min), B (30 min), and C (40 min). Students get assigned a lunch period based on which hallway they were in for 5th period. I was unlucky enough to get B lunch for three of the four years. The mere 30 minutes allotted us to walk to the cafeteria, buy food, eat, and walk back to class were not sufficient. I felt robbed.
Present and Future: The HS experience is what you make of it. A super plus side is that academically, the school kept on improving after I graduated. Where Dulles still trails Clements in academic success (as an entire school), Dulles is now more academically competitive than before. Look on line at the academic recognition given to the school. Most of the academic categories were awarded recognition.
In summary, at Dulles you have a full spectrum of people from the community: white, black, yellow, brown....upper, middle, poor classes. And people care about a wide spectrum of things: academics, sports, popularity, etc.
