Wildly behaved students, and the teacher won't teach in some classes. Lunchtime is fight time. Sports teams are spectacular, other than that it's not a place of learning, and is not somewhere I'm proud to call my Alma Mattar.

Douglass High School is a very academicly challenging school. Althought this is a fact, teachers are caring and open to their student. The school's administration is always open to hear suggestions from students and are creative in incitives for student. Douglass is a place of norm rigorous learning and a community that shares love and knowledge.
