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.

There are a variety of AP classes to take if you want to challenge yourself. On the other hand are a multitude of resources that can be taken advantage of if you need extra support. The key at this school is to ask for help and anyone you ask will be more than willing to put in the extra effort to help you succeed.

Overall, DHS is a really nice school. There are good teachers, a lot of resources, and the building itself is very new too. However, the community is not the most inclusive, since a lot of students tend to form cliques, so it is hard to make friends.

I've had an overall amazing time at Danvers High. I've established great relationships with a lot of my teachers, and rely on them on advice and help. I will say, the school isn't that diverse, and I feel that the majority of the students should be more educated with race, gender, and sexuality issues.

Danvers High School is a hidden gem. I've sent three children through and have one more to go. Compare its academic programs to Hamilton-Wenham and other top local districts and you'll see that DHS has a greater choice in AP, Honors and CP level courses. Whatever level your child can handle is avail...

We all turned out great, I'm a Doctor and I know other professionals and business leaders as a result of DHS. They are building a new facility now 2011 and it's plans are amaz...
