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.

Some teachers are great and they teach so well. It is very obvious they love their job because they work towards helping students excel. Other teachers are terrible. They have been there for a while and do not want to help the students. They think we have already learned things previously so we don't need anymore schooling on that particular subject. One teacher in particular helps the students then marks wrong what they helped the student do.

The best part is some of the teachers. We have some really great ones who will go above and beyond to help guide students to success. I guess the worst part that I saw for myself was the lack of funding for activities other than sport. Things like FFA and FBLA did not receive funding anywhere close to what the sports did. I believe they are all important. However I believe I learned more about real life experience In FFA than any other activity. I think these things need to have more importance as far as the budget goes.

All of the teachers at Douglas High School want their students to succeed. They will make appointments with their students to help them in the needed areas.

It seem like the teachers do not care and this school has had a problem with student teacher relationships.
