As a rising Junior at Durham Academy, I have seen a lot of what Durham Academy has to offer. They excel in many ways through their academics, facilities, and recourses. One thing I would like to see change is more information about the college process. There are plenty of resources, but little seminars and grade-wide check-ins.

I would love to see a change in the school culture- overall it's very competitive and people do not seem to embody the morals that the school claims: moral, happy, or productive. The teachers are amazing and really care about their students, though.

This school is very woke and they are pushing an agenda on children. Parents are not kept up to date on what is said and if your child doesn’t tell you then you wouldn’t know. They claim unity but teach division. Honestly considering taking my child out because they shouldn’t be made to feel bad abo...
