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.

5.0 Junior

I am currently a junior at DHS. My experience so far has been positive. I am actively enrolled in honors classes and I just got inducted into the National Honor Society as well as the English Honor Society. I am fortunate to have teachers who support and challenge me academically. Beyond the classroom I am a 3rd year soon to be 4 year varsity football cheerleader. Overall school has been a time of growth and has prepared me for my next chapters. Something I would like to see changed is they way some / most of the teachers really push their political agenda on the students. Politics should be presented in a balanced unbiased way. Students should be encouraged to speak their own opinions without having a viewpoint pushed on them. Both my parents and older brother have attended DHS. The school has a strong community feel that I am happy to be a part of.

In my experience, I have had outstanding teachers. They all want the best for me; they wish to see me be successful in my life after high school. I have felt that my advisors have always cared for me and have actually taken the time to get to know me as a student and as a person.

From the first information request call to graduation, a teacher or administrator cared for my teen and us for 4 full years during the most troubling times we've experienced. We were very new to Danvers and I couldn't speak more highly of the reception I felt from the very beginning. My son started...

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...

My grandmother graduated here in 1917, my Mom in 1942 and myself in 1973. My four children graduated from Danvers High also. 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...
