Best part is how most classes allow you to learn fresh things but worst part is how the AP classes are way too rushed and the teachers stop teaching by the start of 2nd semester.

It was a really good school even though it wasn't really that diverse, out of the whole school it was about 15 black kids out of all 1k students it was only 15 black student and the reast of everyone were hispanic. But I had great teachers that helped me with applying and getting into school.

Overall school was ok but there was times where I never wanted to go times where I didn't feel welcomes there by not only students but some teachers I had. The school was not bad I enjoyed going most of the time well only when I had aid periods because it was really fun to me. going into college this fall I would love to have a community around that supports me I would love to make new friends and have some great memories and I really feel like DBU is a great place for me.

The teachers refuse bathroom breaks to the students. There is very little time between classes and often they walk from 1 end of the school to the other. If a girl needs a eat room break to attend to a need of nature so to speak she is expected to announce it to her teacher so the entire class hears...
