Dougherty Valley High School offers a great education to its students, as well as many opportunities. DVHS has a variety of clubs and sports programs, it is very easy to find your niche and whatever suits your interests. I had a very memorable experience at Dougherty Valley and enjoyed my time as a student there. There are good amenities and resources that can help you be successful and the classrooms are well equipped. There are also many on-campus events, from college fairs to dance shows, and sometimes they even bring shelter dogs to aid with student stress during finals week!
The academic rigor and pressure put on students is very high so naturally it's a super stressful environment. Highly competitive and if I could switch high schools I would because it does no justice on teen mental health. Great academics though. It's super diverse, if anything white people are the minority. It's just kind of our school in the district that's like this. Go to Cal High if you want to be happy. parents do add to the student pressure, theres an eighth grader in my algebra 2 class. Bs are definitely frowned upon. there's always someone in the bathroom crying over an A- on a quiz. Other than that, great!
I appreciate the fact that Dougherty Valley High School has an atmosphere of minimal racism and bullying. In most schools, a student has to worry about some variation of those issues, but at Dougherty that is very little of a problem. It is true that the academics are hard - overly and unnecessarily difficult, in fact - but I believe that the level it prepares you for college is worth it, as well as the minor social issues that occur there. I feel extremely comfortable at Dougherty Valley. Additionally, I like how well developed the extracurriculars are: because so many of the students are dedicated kids that are focused on getting into college, their robotics program and track and field teams are phenomenal- some of the best in the league. The teachers, coaches, and staff at Dougherty are - for the most part - excellent: not only intelligent and wonderful teachers, but kind as well. I have greatly enjoyed my Dougherty experience, and will miss it when I am gone.
