The school was good, The teachers were great even thou some got cut when they had financial problems. But even then they stayed strong to prove a education for fellow students.

DDHS is a friendly but small school. Teachers make an effort to get to know, challenge, and help students. Athletics programs are not always the best, but there are lots of clubs and organizations to be involved in.

The district will put the staffs wellbeing over your student. They will not apologize for wrong doing. They will not aid in support for your child. Even if behavior from staff is considered inappropriate— they will put the staff first. This is a concern seen from many families and discusses often on...

we moved to Delavan 3 years ago and enrolled our son in Phoenix. He's at the High School now and he is thriving. We had many options to choose from locally, but we decided to stay close and we have never looked back.

I would rate this school a 9/10. Every school has room to grow, but the staff is excellent and strive to be the best they can be.
