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.

I think my experience wraps around all of the teachers. The teachers at Durant High School encourage me to do my best including in school and home life. The teachers interactions with the students makes me believe that they want what's best for us!

I have attended Durant High School all 4 years of my career. Overall, the campus is excellent. The staff is willing to work with you as a student to set you up with the best possible education. I have maintained a 4.0 GPA because of their ability to work with me. I do wish that the sports programs and diversity in clubs were larger. I feel I am limited because of the small selection of opportunities.

We need a better music program. This unfortunately cannot happen without money and that department does not have any.
