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.

The school has a good environment with multiple chances in advancement and opportunities. There is not a lot of close-knit relationships with the officers.

Denison high school is one of the better high schools in Texas. While Denison is a small town, the school spirit at Denison high school is greater than many larger schools in the state. I have been apart of the touch of gold band program at Denison for 4 past years, and can say that the staff for the fine arts department is just amazing. The teachers at the high school are for the most part really great, and I can definitely say I've had a great experience.
