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.

I like how small Decatur High School is. It gives students a chance to connect with one another and feel like a family. I would like for the administration to change. When it came to my senior year there weren't many resources available when applying to colleges and plans after high school.

I like that the teachers always have that one on one time with students who could really use their help! It's a small community yet it's full of many opportunities.

We do not many extracurricular opportunities at this school because of financial problems. Many students would like to have a variety of options but the school does not have the means to do it.
