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.

Being such a small school it is a very personal overall experience. The teachers and staff are very nice, however, few resources make it hard to hire teachers to fill necessary positions.

My experience at Durham High School has been great. I am currently a senior and have been attending school in the Durham Unified School District since kindergarten. The Durham community provides a safe and enjoyable environment for kids to learn and be successful in school. The faculty is encouraging and truly wants the best for the students.
