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.

Douglas High School is a great school for students who apply themselves. The only major issue with this school is the Douglas County School Board and their lack of understanding of reality

There are so many amazing teachers that are all dedicated to you, both academically and personally. The small town atmosphere is welcoming and the students get along pretty well, overall. However there is some divisions between the students (people tend to stay inside their own groups).

Overall I think that the teachers were brilliant but I think that they aren't good teachers. Over all I think that it was a decent time

Douglas High School offers many AP courses, electives, technical classes, clubs, and sports. The teachers and staff as a whole are wonderful and conservative in their values and truly care about the students. DHS produces high achieving citizens.

This school has some nepotism issues. Not happy with it at all. This is my personal opinion, but if you are attending or will be attending this high school, you will notice it.
