I believe that Dekalb High School is a good experience and you can make many connections with different people. I believe it is very diverse and you have a very good opportunity to learn and grow.

I never felt safe at Dekalb High School a day in the four years I have attended. I was able to make many great friends and develop relationships with amazing teachers, but the administration and facilities were terrible. I felt that there were very few policies and resources that benefited students. I would love to see administration actually care about their students.

Dekalb high school needed more staff at the time. It was an okay high school but lacked counselors to student ratio. A walk in was hard to come across. Some of the policies need modifications. Like head coverings. Potential is there but lack of inclusion.
