Darnell Cookman Middle/High School

My children have been at Darnell-Cookman Middle/High for 2 years and we are very pleased with the results and help they are getting in this school.

this is the worst school especially this teachers they called my son dumb and retarded i disagree because my son was in the accelerated program and he was told to go to the advance program which i didn't him to go to. they also tried to call me out during a parent teacher conference next year my son is going to Paxon i heard they act more mature over there.

DC STAND 4 DRAMA CENTRAL AYYYYYEEE CLASS OF 2016!!!!!

This school is AWESOME and AWE-INSPIRING.....I have attended DC for 5 years and have watched it grow from just a middle school to a middle/high school. Some of my good friends are going to be in the first graduating class this year (2012). This school pushes you to the max and doesn't let you get by doing nothing. Expect a lot of homework and outside of class assignments (sometimes it seems like I am in school for 12 or more hours because of homework) but it pays off when you pass the AP Classes and exams. The teachers are great in both middle school and high school and they really care if you do good or not. I had a choice of this school, Paxon or Stanton and I chose this one and am glad I did because I love each and every day and can't wait for school to start back in a couple weeks.

This school is fantastic. My child never comes home complaining! Great teachers and very friendly. I'm so glad she ended up at this gifted magnet. No problems and worries here.

I love this school. I especially love the teachers. They're so nice but still strict. The medical program is just amazing. The lab fee isn't costly, plus you get to hold all this equipment. Each morning the principal is standing there always wishing students a good morning. I love Darnell Cookman! I'm not afraid to recommend it!

Thay have great teachers. Both my children have gone there and love it.

I have attended Darnell Cookman for the past three years and I've been on the gifted team all three years. I will be returning to Darnell in the fall to kick off my freshman year. The staff is great and the teachers are histerical (Not in a bad way, they're just a pleasure to be around). The eighth-grade Runics team is the by far the most interactive team on campus. Recently, a variety of new clubs have formed in Darnell Cookman, and I am proud to say that the as the president of the Viknig Volunteers, that our service opprotunities we open to the students are beneficial to the community in more than one area and really touch the lives of all who participate. I have a special connection to this school, so I will graduate from this school in 2014.

When i first came here, i thought it was the best school ever! but time has passed & a lot has changed! For one thing, the high school basically took all the middle school freedom! i'm in the 8th grade and i always looked forward to this year so i can act like i'm the head of this school but the high school just messes it up. They take all our dances and we have to share our activities with them which isn't fair. The school is soo boring right now that it doesn't make no since! We dont even get a pep rally 4 FCAT! :( but if i was writing this 3 years ago i would give it 5 stars

This school is somewhat a good school. I am :} that our school has a high school but they made it bad for the middle school kids. We now don't have a nice good track or field and also no tennis court. I will not be attending the high school next year because the fact is, now its just now building up, but I would want to stay because of the medical program. Also this school have some good teachers but some teachers have to be more involved with the students instead they just give them loads of work.Overall this is a good school but need some improvement.
