My experience at Cairo-Durham High School was fantastic. I feel this way largely due to the outstanding efforts of the faculty and staff. The student body as a whole, in my opinion, benefited greatly due to such a cohesive and nurturing staff. Cairo-Durham High School has more than adequately prepared me for a life of happiness and success.

This school is terrible. The teachers are good but they wont own up to their own mistakes, and blame all their problems on the kids. its always the kids fault, because teachers refuse to take initiative and lead the class. This place just sucks. Period.

When I was at this school, the district had a policy known as "circle 5...
