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.

This school is a hit or a miss with some people. The music department is amazing. The classes her can be hard but you can do it

I have went to Douglas my whole life, and it was good for the most part, but I wish there were more opportunities. There are little to no AP classes available, and the honors classes are too hard, and not worth the time and effort.

I personally had on O.K. experience at Douglas High School. I loved my teachers and the curriculum taught. I appreciated the effort that the teachers put into making class exciting each day.

Not so good, a lot of bullying and not much done about it, some good teachers, but also some that should not be teaching. Ineffective administration, I would not recommend this school in it's present state.
