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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I loved my experience at DCHS! I felt like this school prepared me for where I want to be in my future and always supported me! The only think I would change is the lunches, I felt as if there was the same thing each week and it got boring and that they needed more flavor! Other than that DCHS is a great school!

Homecoming is the most traditional, and memorable celebration we have. It is everyone's favorite part of the year, and we always have fun.
