Although the counselors in this school seemed to try their best; the school is simply too large to be a great school. Kids are herded through classes with little to no individual help from teachers.
Because they give the children a chance to travel, and other schools are always coming to Diamond for sports events. Diamond is for our children and deserve any extra help they can get for our children. After all our children are our future and we need to keep our children involved. Get them involved now and they will be involved in our community in the future.
My sons attend Dimond and are doing great there, although any high school would have flaws, Dimond tends to keep it at a minimum. This school has been a great school on almost every level, I would recommend Dimond High as one of the best High Schools in the Anchorage School district wether it is academic needs, athletic, or other extra curricular activities. Keep up the Good work Dimond!
Great school, fine staff and heritage
great admin, faculty- the student body seems to get along and have school spirit, the atmosphere is condusive to education and social growth.
The education our son received at Dimond High more than prepared him for the rigors of college. He 'hit the ground running' and exceeded our wildest hopes for his first freshman semester (he made the Dean's List!) My husband and I are forever grateful to the entire Dimond staff for giving him the groundwork to succeed at Rutgers University.
Dimond High is one of the best schools I have been to. There are really no clicks there. It's a everybody knows everybody school. Most teachers are great, theres a lot of student teacher contact. The sports are great! The coaches are very good with us students, they taught us what we needed to know, and helped us improve our skills. I would say this school is the best in Anchorage.
