It's nice but there is no boys swim team. The cafeteria does not have good food. Lots of options for music and great theater department!
5/22/2025
Average school, average teaching, average administrative, everything about this school is average. Sports are pretty good. Lots of clubs. But like any traditional school, it lacks any real world learning and projects.
3/30/2025

DHS has some good teachers, but also a fare share of really terrible teaching styles. Most of the people that go here are rich, and many of them are snobby. Lo...
