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.

Teachers that were there were really good at their jobs. Some on the other hand were not as professional as they should've been. Wish they would've offered more courses so students graduating wouldn't have to take as many prereqs when enrolling in college.

My experience with Donaldsonville High School was a bit rough to start but things got better. I started out in dual-enrollment taking all my classes at a community college for the first 2 years maintaining a 3.5 gpa but when covid put everyone out of school I struggled to keep up with my classes and I fell behind unfortunately. When I started at DHS 2 years ago, I had many mixed emotions and I was going through a lot. However, the teachers, principals, & everyone else were absolutely awesome and I was able to maintain good grades again & I graduated with honors.
