D'Evelyn Junior/Senior High School Reviews
Rating 4.04 out of 5 264 reviews
Diversity is sorely lacking here. Seriously... 1,000 + students and only 1% or less are Black? You gotta be kidding me. Only 8 students or so on the free/reduced lunch program (1% or less)? D'Evelyn is overwhelmingly White and wealthy and doesn't seem to support minority nor socio-economic representation. D'Evelyn doesn't seem to want to see, hear, or embrace more Black, Hispanic, Muslim, LGBTQI and other divergent voices in our community, as is apparent from their admissions policy (lacks pro-active recruitment effort to diversify). This doesn't mean you lower your standards to bring in the tokens. There are smart & motivated minorities in your district; FIND THEM! How can you be proud of perfect GPAs and test scores when you haven't heard the voices and experiences of REAL people from other cultures and backgrounds, to inform your critical thinking skills? What has D'Evelyn done policy-wise to change this huge disparity in their admissions process? NOTHING.
D’Evelyn’s a great school for those who are willing to challenge themselves. There isn’t a lot of drug use or violence. However, due to its focus on academics, things like extracurriculars, sports, and “fun” classes are substandard. Due to its difficulty, your GPA suffers. Only colleges in the area compensate for the difficulty on the school in admissions. On the other hand, D’Evelyn really prepares you for college. The students are also a little snobby. Overall, great school for academics, but not for extracurriculars or college admissions.
D'Evelyn was a great school for me. I enjoy learning and D'Evelyn offered me a challenging course load that kept me engaged in learning. The staff at D'Evelyn is very responsive to building relationships with students. For me, the structure was perfect. The days were predictable and the 7th period study hall was a great way to get a head start on homework or get help from a teacher. The Friday clubs were a great way to meet other people who shared my interest along with many activities including sports, band, theater, choir, orchestra, etc... The homework load was a bit excessive at times but fortunately for me, I am very diligent and made it work.
