It was good. All of the teachers and friends at school are like a second family to me and I have learned and had so much fun at DeSoto and I will definitely miss the school and every memory that I have in that school.

The school seemed to just give you a bare minimum to get you your diploma and they seemed to care more for people with high test scores instead of helping people with lower scores work and improve.

Desoto central high school is a good school. There isn't any gangs or drugs involved and the staff really cares about the kids.The best parts of the school would be their band.They are always in atleast the top three ratings and they sound amazing. The worst parts would be the student parking lot, there is a lot of students that attend Desoto central but the parking lot is kind of small. In the future I hope for there to be more school pride involvement in classrooms.
