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.

Durango High School is a great place to learn and grow. The teachers are very supportive and truly care about each and every one of their students. At this school there are a variety of programs, activities and especially sports where students can explore their interests to further prepare themselves for the future. Overall I'd recommend Durango and am currently loving my time at the school.

I have noticed that I and others never want to come to school and clever thought we have good classes and the teachers know what they are doing the over all administration doesn't know how to help or make it possible for kids who don't want to go or be at school come to school. I've always ex hated showing up to school and others have to with diching or not even showing up.

My experience with Durango high school was presumably normal as I have gone to school there all four years. I have seen multiple time when staff treated student unfair and it brought my view of the school down. Though for myself most of the time encounters i've had personally, were positive. Appreciatively I have tried to to give my all back to the school by coming to school and working as hard as I can to get the school the respect it deserves.

Some teacher’s seem unhappy and it shows in how they treat their students. I really hope that Durango starts making improvement...

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...
