Academic Excellence is what Dunbar HSEP is all about. Most people already realize that HSEP provides an excellent education in the math and sciences, but few realize that our program also provides a solid background in other subjects as well. It makes just as much sense for a student with ambitions towards a law degree to attend HSEP as it does for a student who wishes to be a civil engineer.

So how do we quantify our quality?

  1. Our curriculum

    Dunbar HSEP offers several courses that cannot be found anywhere else. One such class is Ordinary Differential Equations and Their Applications, or ODE, as it is called around campus. Another course unique to HSEP is Creative Design, where students design and construct everything from bridges to bottle rockets to advertisements.

  2. Advanced Placement (AP)

    Dunbar HSEP offers 18 AP classes, ranging from Calculus to U.S. History to English Literature. In addition to the variety of AP classes offered, Dunbar HSEP has one of the pest passing rates (score greater >3) in the entire district, and many AP Scholars.

  3. UIL Academics

    Dunbar is the 2001 FWISD UIL Academic Champion. HSEP has won the State UIL Computer Programming Competition over 8 times, and was the 1995 State UIL Academic Champions.

  4. Science Fair

    The Science Fair is possibly the best measurement of our quality of education. It is unique in the fact that it requires more than mere knowledge; it requires the ability and the motivation to investigate a scientific problem independently. Our students excel at it.

  5. National Merit/PSAT

    For the year of 2001, Dunbar HSEP had six national merit scholars. This is as many as Paschal, a school many times our size.

Of course, there is much more to HSEP than this small list. Check out some of the links below for more information.
