Douglas County High School is a very friendly and thriving place. Most of the teachers are very kind and will listen to you if you see a problem with your grades and whatnot. I have found it to be generally safe and there are lots of people so plenty of opportunities to make new friends. There are plenty of club and after school activities and of course, sports!
I would like to see a more diverse population with better standards. Although the graduation is fairly high, I believe with a little more work from administration the rate could see a large increase. Additionally, I would like to see better college readiness classes. However, I do love the culture and environment of the school!
Solid school with a fairly vibrant sports culture, however this pertains only to football and basketball. All other sports are left with zero funding.
The teachers are hit or miss but the ones that truly excel are at least placed in the classes that are worth it. (AP, STEM, ect.) The AP classes that are offered are usually high quality. Foreign language and Arts are quickly dying off in this school.
The counselors are nice, but are hard to communicate with and will often make mistakes or cause confusion with scheduling. The administration is the same but worse, and communication to parents is poor.
This school is violence-free, but drama is high, and not very friendly to students who are different. The student majority is white, and resources for queer students is non-existent and I can't imagine it is great for low-income students either.
Quality education, decent experience, however not very thrilling for those who expect to move on with their life.
