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.

Overall this school is a 4/5. Most teachers are nice and comprehensive. There's zero tolerance to bullying or physical aggression between students. But even so most students help create a better environment for the rest of the school with their involvement in extra curricular activities. Although I would like to see change from the office staff side, it doesn't take much to show mutual respect towards students.

I have attended Durango High School for all 4 years of my high school experience. The best part of Durango is that your voice is always heard. In classes help is always given out. Not just academically but also outside of academics.

Having spent my last 3 highschool years at Durango, I can confidently say that I'm happy to have experienced my highschool career here. I can't say much about sports, but I do know that our school is successsful at producing athletes, granting them the ability to achieve their goals and dreams.

After raising 8 children over a 40 years period, I can attest to the fact that not only is Durango the WORST school any of my kids have ever attended but the entire school district is the worst. That isn't an opinion. it is a fact if you research online based on research groups. I won't go into the...
