Overall we have had a wonderful experience at Doherty Memorial High School. My daughter is fully prepared academically to go to college and be successful. She has had incredible teachers who have really helped her along the way and who are so invested in her success. the administration is very responsive and extremely helpful.

The best parts it's the people, everyone is very kind no matter where you come from. the teachers are awesome and make you feel a connection with the subject that engages you and encourages you to participate in class and learn more about it

Good school, the sports and the engineering stand out. Good school spirit, and a lot of diversity. The only issue is not all kids take school seriously so some of the aspects of school are lack luster.

Strip out the low achievers and you have solid students that consistently get into top colleges. Teachers are ok. Back when I attended, some of the teachers ma...

Horrible! Setup is for failure. Lots of bullying, infringement on first admendent rights and poor quality staff.

The physical plant is 50 years old and shows signs of wear but there is no lack of enthusiasm by the teaching staff or the students. Consistently outscores statewide average. Very sociable and accepting student body with several large student groups that are subtly competitive culturally and academi...
