A good school that is mostly fair and a good learning environment for myself and others. It is a very diverse school that treats other students with respect.
5/23/2020
It was a decent school. I liked most of the teachers, they were nice and taught really well. However, there are a lot of fights and dramas everywhere
5/21/2020
Denbigh High School is very different from other high schools. One would think that it would have a lot of school participation. That is one thing i'd like to change. This school needs more student involvement. On the bright side though through my experience, the friendships that I made were good ones. We bonded over things such as cheer-leading. Cheer-leading made my overall experience at the school a lot better because i was also a transfer student.
