Douglas has incredible teachers. They are dedicated, motivated, and caring. The school culture is great with excellent participation and an air of general ambiance. There are plenty of resources available to students from computer labs to machine shops and ceramic labs. Though the sports department wasn't as strong this year as it has been traditionally, the student section and involvement was still excellent. Couldn't recommend a better school!
Douglas High School is a nice looking, somewhat newly remodeled school but the education here is not the best. The school only cares about test scores and they do not care about the students actual learning.The students here are all white and there is not much diversity at all. The students here are pretty friendly and you will most likely not have an issue with bullying. The counselors are not very good at what they do and the teachers are average, some are great and some are terrible. The sports teams are below average. Overall it is a decent school but not the best out there.
A well managed facility, prepares students well for college classes with a variety of available honors, AP, and jump start classes. Strong emphasis on STEM classes provides students with a practical application for all learned skills.
