Posted July 22, 2011

I am a proud parent of a learning disabled student at Douglas High School. We have had a change in administration, and my children now have Mr. Scott Bonds as principal. Under Mr. Bonds direction, I feel that the school has went from being a great school to being the BEST school in our area. It is nice to have caring personel that will approach you with a problem rather than stab you in the back, when it comes to problems your child has in school. The counselors and teachers have worked very hard along with my learning disabled child, so much to the point that he is pulling himself out of the "LD" status. I am forever greatful for the reputation of this school, as it is my Alma Mater as well. I'm sorry, but I have 6 children enrolled in Douglas and don't see the discrimination you speak of. My children are not enrolled in any sporting activities and I don't teach either.

douglas high school does not treat all kids the same and picks out certain kids to make an example of if you are the child of a teacher or in sports you have it made

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Alabama used the Alabama High School Graduation Exam (AHSGE) to test high school students in reading, math, language, science and social studies. High school students must pass the AHSGE in order to graduate. The AHSGE is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Alabama. The goal is for all students to pass the test.
