GreatSchools Rating
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 staff are great people to work with. The counselors go above and beyond to help each child as needed. There is not anything I would change about Doniphan.

My school has had several bomb and shooting threats during my time there. During shooting threats we go into lockdown. This is supposed to be no one in and no one out. They refuse to let students leave with their parents and count it against them if they do not attend on lockdown days. They allow students to walk across the parking lot to the music building and I do not feel safe. I am constantly looking for danger and I do not feel safe at my school.

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.

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...
