The education provided by Darien High School is truly top notch and has provided me with the tools necessary to thrive in college, however the culture and community at Darien at times felt highly exclusionary, stress inducing, and alienating, especially as a person of color.

Darien high school has an extremely supportive and inclusive environment, a driven and motivated student body.

academics and sports are strong but the environment is horrible. ignorant privileged students who do not get held accountable. sports teams are worshipped especially football. ruined my mental health and will never come back here.
