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.

My overall experience at Douglas Byrd High School was not that interesting. I was a quiet kid in school, but I always got my work done, even with teachers that could be difficult at times. They have probably changed how they run things there but when I attended there, it wasn't anything exciting, it was just OK. I probably should have joined some clubs or do more activities there, but the past is the past.

I went here for 3 years and I attended their middle school and it was the exact same but just a different setting.

A lot of people think my school is a bad school, but it offers lot of opportunity's that most people do not know about. My school also has a lot of teachers and staff that are very supportive and eager to help students succeed. I am glad to have been able to grow at this school.

A school can have a great administration and a wonderful teaching staff but it is all for nothing if PARENTS do not send their children to school ready to learn. Parents are the child's number one teacher and bears the BULK of responsibility for their child's educational experience and attainment. I...

A lot of negative things have been said about DBHS. But the main people complaining, are the parents!! You have to go to the school to understand how great of a school it really is. There's something for everybody. Clubs, arts, sports; you name it. Some people just don't apply themselves so the miss...
