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.

When I first got to Durango High School at the start of my sophomore year, I was surprised of the amount of different students there. This school is really diverse when it comes to race, religion, and gender. I really enjoy being here. Somethings I want changed is how they respond to "outside threats". They are pretty good at following the procedures but tey seem to be on high alert on alot of things.

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...
