Many of the teachers are good here, and I do like the emailed progress reports that are sent by most teachers. As far as safety this school is as safe as any school. Every school has issues with kids. However, I have seen atheletes get away with getting D's in classes but still being able to participate

I know it is the parents responsibility to help with their children, but the school has responsibilities also. Such as, proper discipline for grades and attendance. If students know they can get away with it cause the school doesn't care they will continue to do so and their grades will suffer. Read less

Wow, the reviews on this school is just too comical. Okay yeah, drug problem, but go to any school in this country and you are bound to find that. And yeah, fights among students do happen, but that happens in all schools, everywhere. It doesn't happen all the time so chill out. And yes, football is

And for you whose grades have dropped, it's the schools fault, really? That sounds absurd. Take the blame and move on wit your life and stop bad-mouthing this school. Students- if you don't like it, transfer. Parents- if you don't want you kids to go there- don't make them. Read less

My daughter went to Dacula HS. I did not feel that she was safe there. I did not like the bad influences that were at Dacula HS, and it seems to have a drug problem, along with too many school fights.

Coming from 'up north' I'd heard about the obsession over sports in southern schools, but to experience it first hand...wow...Obviously not very focused on advancing academics/support and encouragement for the non-athelete/(no field trips!!!)/ No tolerance/acceptance for expressions of individuality/Students,

Poor leadership from Administration and not enough diversity amongst the teachers. The student population is changing and the administration is still living with a 60's mentality. There are not enough career and tech classes offered to match the demands of the 21st century. They must improve their

They are overly obsessed with football, while neglecting the arts. The administration is broken and makes the students frustrated. The teachers are the best part of the school. Many of them are wise in the world and in the knowledge of their subject. In my honor level and AP classes I had some really

The leadership at Dacula High school needs major improvement. Parents and students at DHS can not feel safe when teachers lack the ability to adequately manage classroom behaviors. Teachers should provide a safe classroom environment for our children. Teenagers will argue but it is the teachers/school
... Read more responsibility to interven immediately during any verbal or physical altercation. Dacula High school now has a history of students being teased and pushed to the point of violence. Some teachers need to be more assertive to help resolve student to student conflicts before it escalates. Discipline should be distributed fairly amongst students. Anything short of this is unsatisfactory. As is my rating for Dacula High School. Read less
