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.

The school is fun, and entertaining however unsafe. The school has frequent fights and lockdowns. Overall the school is a good enough location for education.

I just started my second year at this school and am now a senior. If I'm being honest it's nothing remarkable. I'm used to having at least one teacher each year that seriously makes me enjoy coming to school and unfortunately during my junior year (first at DO) that just wasn't my experience. It's also extremely overcrowded and uncomfortable to maneuver through.

I heard from a friend that teachers are quitting because they just feel like it and they are lazy. They are capable of writing referrals f...
