Most of the teachers are okay. Some go above and beyond, but then there are others that do not care.

DeKalb County High School, was nothing special and often failed me. It was lacking in resources and even the teachers at the time lacked life. Nothing outstanding, not even mid. I was able to graduate and continue my education, but that it because of my own motivation, not because I felt this school...

DeKalb County High School is a wonderful school. They now have honor classes, duel credit classes, and A P classes. Students can graduate with over a years worth of college credit.
