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.

DCHS is a great high school located in the heart of Douglasville. With all the faculties I was able to have an amazing high school experience. I was in HOSA, yearbook committee, and was able to further my education from the foundation that DCHS gave me.

If you look at the news the school administrator and Board are primarily interested in getting a voucher syst...
