(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is the best school I have ever worked for! Dunbar is an excellent school with the most dedicated and innovative teachers in Lynchburg. We have an excellent theater program, an award winning band and orchestra, and one of the only middle school herpetology labs in the country. (I love the touch tank!) Our basketball team was undefeated last year and we had over 200 students enter writing competitions. This middle school has everything. it is truly innovative. The best thing about the school though is the atmosphere and the friendliness. Everyone seems happy to be here! P.L. Dunbar is an excellent school.
