Speaking several languages means owning a few board feet of dictionaries. In Spanish, the Cortina is my favorite concise dictionary. Its got a clean, easy to read typeface and a livey modern style. The gender of nouns is easily visible, right up front, before the definition. Word gender, (which doesn't exist in English) is key to speaking or spelling Spanish, and getting good grades in class. I own a variey of Spanish dictionaries of varying price and complexity. I bought the Cortina for my own kids, and reccomended it to my neighbors. It should be useful from Jr. High up to about second year college Spanish. It would last till the first literature class, when you might have to get something more complex.

The Cortina Handy Spanish/English Dictionary, is the best dictionary on the market! Its the only one needed for my university courses. I find myself referring to it everyday; this dictionary is very informative, every thing that I've needed to look up has been found in this book. It is so helpful, that my professor has assigned it to the whole class. This is the only dictionary you will need to buy!
