Douglass could be perfect if they put some more effort and time into their sports. They need more attention on sports especially girls.

I have been at Frederick Douglass for two years now the school academic wise is really great but other than that it lacks severely in pretty much everything else. They have also prepared me well for college.

KIPP Renaissance High School is a great school, the love that the teachers show the children is phenomenal. As a parent with a child who had a learning disability he received all the advantages that the other students were afforded. This is a great learning environment.
