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.

As a current high school senior, I have spent the majority of my school career at Douglass. I have been happy with the education I have received there. I am happy with the teachers and the safety provided at the school. In my opinion it is the best school in the county. The improvements made over the last few years have added to the environment in a positive way and though I will not be able to use many of the new facilities as an up coming graduate, my siblings will.

It is a really good school. The teachers are good and I like the small school environment better than a big school. Overall I really love going here and love the experience here as well.

This school has been good for me for high school. I have a good group of friends, and the school allows all students to get a quality education. However, the building that high school classes are in has been standing since the 1940s and it seems that many community members and school officials have been around since then too. No shorts are allowed to be worn in high school or junior high unless you are in gym class at the time. Many teachers are friendly and supportive of the students, and that has always been a highlight.

This is an excellent school district. All my children graduated from Douglass. Jr. & Sr. years students may take college courses on campus and upon high school graduation also have 24 college hours.
