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.

Douglass high school is a great school for everyone. The teachers and staff are very helpful and understanding. The only thing that's wrong with the school is the students not showing up to school.

Douglass Highschool was a challenging school for me offering so many unforgettable experiences. I appreciate being able to attend here for the three years that I did. The teachers and admin work hard towards opening the minds of the students that attend there.

What I like about Douglass is how the teachers are involved in the students education and likes to help out in every way they can. What I think should change in the school is how administrators are unkempt.
