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.

Doniphan High School had some of the best teachers I've had the privilege of learning from. The now gone Mrs. Lebron, Mr. Brannum, and Mr. Lebron all helped me become an informed adult. Mr. Jones, the principal, does his absolute best to work with his faculty and staff and his students. He's patient, amiable, and wise. The only fault I can think of are the students, some of which can be unsavory. However, nothing so bad as to not attend Doniphan over.

I have attended Doniphan from pre-k to the 12th grade. While attending school for most kids is boring or they hate it,but my school was such a great place to be we all loved it. We have just brought back Football after 39 years of not having it and as a JV and V teams I have had the opportunity to play and I am actually now wanting to go to college and become NFL player or even a high school Football coach for my home town pride Doniphan high!!

Doniphan is a very small school located in a small close community. We all seem to be there in the time of need for one another. Two summers ago we lost a student that would now also be a Senior. He was killed in a drunk driving accident. The community all came together in that time and it was so beautiful to see our whole community acting together to stop underage drinking and drinking and driving. I would most definitely choose this school if I could go back and do it all over again just because of how nice the people in the community are.

In the most kind and general description of my experience: Teachers have long stopped caring. Students talk over class. Sexual harassment is rampant. Corporal punishment is still a part of discipline. This school did nothing but prepare me to meet the minimum test scores for state requirements. Goin...

I have had more positive interactions at the school than negative ones. It definitely has its faults as does any school. There is a lot that needs repaired and fixed both in the staff and the buildings but when the community refuses to pass any new tax raises then I'm not sure how they expect the sc...

I graduated a few years ago and nothing has changed. When I was there Several teachers said to the class "I do not care if you pass or fail, I get paid the same". These are high school students not college students, you have to get them interested in school. The building is old and run down. If you...
