No, Daphne High Schoolis not perfect parents. But it is one of the best schools I have ever sent a child. We have seen many many schools and this is far better than most. But if a child does see something that is breaking rules it would be helpful, if they could be outside the box, and talk to someone in autority about it. Unless someone speaks up, nothing else will change and the students should never take the level of excellence of the school for granted.

i do think Daphne High School is an excellent school for teenagers, no reason to send a child to a private school education. Daphne has prepared their children for college and continue high scores.

I think daphne high school is an outstanding institution. The principal is an incredible leader and the teachers are caring and active in their student's education. I have a 9th grader enrolled at daphne and he has had some problems. His teachers are very helpful and have gone above and beyond what is expected to resolve the issues. Great job!

My youngest son graduated last year and my oldest graduated in 1998 from Daphne also. They may not be perfect but I think it is one of the best high schools in all areas.

I've been attending dhs since 9th grade. I am a senior now and I've noticed that some things could use improvment in the school. Things aren't how I'd like to see them, and I know they are not how parents want to see them. Our test scores are down ,our dropout rste isn't getting any lower,and the disciplinary problems are steadily increasing.

Daphne High is a wonderful school as far as academics and programs and parent involvement are concerned. Outsiders and new comers are very hesitantly accepted due to the small area. Sports and other activities here can and will be very political. I would recommend the school on an acedemic level but not to parents of children who are shall we just say not regulars in the popularity circle. And, I feel that the students lead the teachers more so than the other way around.

I am very pleased, from an overall view, with DHS. The school is overly crowded right now, but that will change with the opening of another area school at the beginning of the 2005/2006 school year. DHS has some great teachers and counselors who are willing to work with the students and parents, and who are willing to sponsor more extracurricular activities, but the principal leadership leaves something to be desired. My children are happy at DHS and are doing well. I have a student who graduated from DHS who is now at a private school, out of state, on a full scholarship. The faculty obviously did something right. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rank DHS with an 8.

Overall I think this is an excellent school. Good teachers for the most part, excellent Band program. Yes this school also has problems, facilities in need of work and some drug and alcohol problems, but these are things all schools deal with. I have had one child graduate from here and she got a great education and is doing well in college. I have one currently enrolled and she is very happy here and enjoying the diversity and large student body and the programs available at a large school.
