Decatur High School Reviews


Posted By: other Quality Score: 3 2009-07-05 “I only attended Decatur for my freshmen year, but I have to say that it wasnt something that impressed me as my first year of high school. First off I didn't know who the principal was til the 2nd semester. She doesnt interact at all with her students. Only the 1 of assistant principal does. The school has strict and unnecessary rules. The white and black students dont really interact as much. The freshmen experience program does not give 9th graders the 'real' experience of high school. I would not recommend this school unless you really dont care what school you attend.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-10-20 “What that parent wrote in 2004 is still true in 2008. The English Dept. is especially good. My child went to a 'name brand' college from Decatur High where her friends had gone to East Coast private schools; she said their training in writing was not as rigourous as hers at Decatur High. The student population is very diverse, and so school resources like the counseling office can be spread thin at times, but we are still happy with the school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-08-01 “I graduated from this school and this school has had alot of improvement and I agree with the parent that stated that even though there's white and black the kids and parents come together to make the school a better place. My son is a Junior at DHS and I have another child that attends Renfroe Middle both coming out of Dekalb County district and I will recommend any parent that have a child in a No Kid Left Behind school that you will consider looking into Decatur City Schools. The teachers and coaches show how much that care about your child education here at Decatur. *Home of the real Bulldogs* #14 QTRBack Mom” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2006-07-28 “Not for every kid. High achieving kids do ok, but not everyone wants to go to an Ivy League college.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2005-03-12 “All of my success in college is because of Decatur High. It is a school that does things the right way. Good people, with good ideas, good hearts, and good principles. Black and white kids don't do things seperate, but together. I'm not sure that words do it justice, but like we say DECATUR where it's GREATER.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-06-14 “Decatur is a small city bordering Atlanta. It has its own school district, with small elementary schools feeding into a single middle and high school. The high school has fewer than 700 students, and the composition of the student body covers the racial and economic spectrum. Yet its student achievement levels measure up admirably to those of the large, monochromatic suburban high schools. Only a handful of grads don't go on to some sort of higher educaton, and many attend top-tier schools like Georgia Tech, Emory, Morehouse, Spelman, UNC-Chapel Hill and even the military academies and some ivys. The physical plant, though recently renovated, is nothing to brag about, but there's a lot more to a school than bricks and mortar. Decatur is obviously doing something right.” Posted By: Quality Score: 5 2003-05-27 “Teachers are outstanding!”
