As a student at CVMS, the school is decent. If you are looking for a great education for your child, then please look into the school. But, know that your student's mental health will be damaged. The teachers are biased and treat students differently than others. There is a hierarchy between students, which is common, but it results in terrible bullying. Last year, a teacher screamed at my older brother and got into a fight with my dad. That teacher then held it over my head once when I had them for a class. Many kids vape and smoke in classes. We have gotten a new principle, so that might help with the treatment of students. There are limited classes. There are very few optional electives and classes.

Douglas High School offers many AP courses, electives, technical classes, clubs, and sports. The teachers and staff as a whole are wonderful and conservative in their values and truly care about the students. DHS produces high achieving citizens.

After the teacher’s lecture my daughter would not always understand what it was the teacher was trying to say the first time around and would sometimes need it explained in a different way to help her get it. Her first grade teacher was great at this. But then in second and third grade, instead of taking the time to answer her questions her teachers would accuse her of not listening well enough and she would be chastised but not helped. So of course she eventually just stopped asking questions. And when she started scoring poorly on tests the teachers blamed her. Their solution was to send her to the resource room for a half hour a day where they didn’t even work on class material with her! The class sizes here are large and the teachers have no patience for any child who doesn’t understand a lesson immediately. Rather than taking the time to help them learn they would rather just blame the kid.
