Amazing school with great community engagement and support. Teachers have long tenure and it shows….. very experienced and wonderful at their jobs. Specials are well thought out and routinely enjoyed. School supports all learners where they are. The overall feel is that they truly care about the kids, which is the point.

I am a student here and I have so much confidence about highschool, the average grade here is an A in high. My counselor and deans are amazing, we don't have AC in some classesrooms and I've heard a lot of complaining about that but most DPS school don't have that so chill out. I'm in 8th grade so I have some experience and it's really not as bad as these reviews are making it seem, good education!

This school has pros and cons. This is surprisingly a really diverse school (nothing is wrong with that) and has some very good clubs and activities. Aside from its pros like every school, it has its lists of cons. One thing the school can really improve on is their punishments, they use a system called an “RP” to punish bad kids (which makes you miss either lunch or recess) Which does not really give the students a harsh punishment because the same kids keep getting them over and over again. I suggest that instead of the “RP” system they make the students do something more affective like clean the school kitchen, or help clean the classrooms instead of recess. Another problem I would like to note is the dating, lots of kids in this school make out and have secret social media accounts which ship students with each other. The school also needs a better job of teaching the kids respect and discipline, I am constantly hearing about fights in this school and kids cussing in the hallways. I also am constantly encountering groups of disrespectful girls that laugh at me and talk about me behind my back. The school will probably not listen to this feedback but I will update this review if they consider it.

I had a concerning experience involving how legal custody documentation and participation in my child’s IEP process were handled within the school district.In my situation, I provided legal custody documents, but there appeared to be inconsistency in how they were interpreted and applied. As a result, I was not included in certain parts of the IEP process. I filed a state complaint, and the outcome supported my concern that I should have been included.What was especially concerning to me was that similar communication and participation issues continued after my child transferred to another school within the district and worked with a different IEP team.Because of these experiences, I encourage other families—especially those navigating custody arrangements or special education services—to stay actively involved, keep detailed records, ask clarifying questions, and keep your options open to ensure procedures are followed consistently.I hope sharing this helps increase awareness and supports clearer, more consistent communication in similar situations.
