GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Best part of being at Dougherty is the love shown by administrators. They push us to be better, they catch us and correct us when we are slipping. What I would like see change is the school system showing more attention to this school. Due to be on the eastside, we don't get the same opportunity and recognition as the other schools. Funding is lacking over there and that label this school years or maybe decades ago.

How can 10 students out of 300 pass the math portion of the test How can the Asst. prinicpal place blame on the students when it clear that its a teaching issue. How can students have a high average in the class but fail the test?
