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.

Dougherty has a competitive nature, but teachers are passionate and supportive, helping students to excel. Additionally, the school places a strong emphasis on college readiness, offering numerous AP courses, college counseling, and extracurricular activities that prepare students for higher education.

I think Dougherty is a pretty good school. It has a lot of things to offer but the academic pressure put on students is pretty high.
Academically competitive school. Students need to be self motivated to learn and work very hard to succeed.
