Douglas County School District Reviews

I received a good quality of education from mostly great teachers. There is always room for improvement, however. I was never informed about many resources the school offered and there was not much diversity. Sadly, a larger budget would be the best solution to a school that's been forced to focus on science and chooses to put too much money into sports.

Douglas County High School prepared me for college, while also giving me all the great opportunities of being a high schooler!
I have had such a great experience going to Douglas County School’s. I have been going to their school’s since elementary school and have loved every second of it. My middle school years were a little rough, but who’s isn’t? I hope to have children who will some day go to one of Douglas County’s school’s.
