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.

Denham Springs High School is overall a really great school. For being one of the most popular public schools in Louisiana, student life has grown very well and everyone is connected and involved. The school is constantly adding and changing new things to benefit student's success. As well as the admin being apart of change, the students are frequently involved in that change as well, influencing a lot of the growth around the school.

It is a great school, very diverse in its career paths with an entire stem center with engineering and computer science pathways, large range of AP's. Tons of sports and clubs to be apart of, almost everybody has at least one extracurricular after school, with many great teachers and coaches to support your high school journey.

The administration is the real problem at this school. (Teacher...
