The sports teams are dedicated although the hurricane destroyed our main facility, but with a supportive community they made it work. The teachers want you to be successful so they prepare you and give you the best opportunities to help you. Being involved has helped me so much and gave me so many opportunities thanks to the clubs at this school.

Dequincy High School is a great school that has taught me so much, and even though we struggled a little during COVID, I was able to still Lea so much.

the school just sucks overall. the staff says that if you have any issues to talk to them but i was bullied for the short time i was there and whenever i reported any issues nothing was done about it. i have recently went homeschooled because of the way the staff allows others to be treated and all of the staff is stuck up. they favorite certain student and family members so they don't get into trouble. i've went to dequincy schools since kindergarten but my months into my freshman year was just too much to stay there. it would've been better if i knew there was someone there to help with the issue i had but nothing was done to the problems i recorded.
