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.

The best parts of the school are the sports, school spirit, and the great teachers. Biggest issue I have is how many problems there are with bathrooms and vaping around the school.

Throughout my whole 4 years at Durant high school, I would rate the school a 4/5. The reason I would rate Durant this rating is because of all the good teachers and friends you would meet when going to this school. The only thing I would say they need to improve on is the food and adding more extracurricular courses to take.

The best part about DHS is how much they care about the arts; it's not a crazy funding but it's definitely better than other schools in the county. The worst part is probably how normalized racism is here. Teachers and students alike feel comfortable saying racist things directly and indirectly about students in minority groups.

The admin is rude and need attitude adjustments and the respe...
