We moved to Louisiana from out of state and my daughter thrived at Dutchtown High School. The academic level of this school is excellent - in the last five years, Dutchtown has sent graduates to Harvard and MIT. The one negative of this school, which is typical of schools in the south, is race relations - students of different races very rarely mix socially.

We moved our daughter in the second half of her freshman year to this school from out of state. The teachers have been wonderful and have taken her in like her own. The school district she moved from was one of the second highest districts in the state. Dutchtown High functions like a private school. Although I do not totally agree with the cellular phone policy, I feel my daughter is receiving a great education and the teachers have been very good to her.

My nephew is a senior at Dutchtown High. Maybe this review should've came a lot sooner but I am very concerned for the kids who attend here. The attendance rule has changed and if not followed the child will have to repeat the grade. I understand this but if there is a death in the immediate family and a child suffers from asthma is this really fair to the child? We lost our mom due to cancer right when school started and it's almost like the student has to choose. Also where is the passion in teaching ? Our state has a problem with drop-outs and it doesn't seem like much is being done. We are our children's voices and I am very concerned about teachers who lack the passion, drive to teach my kids. Teachers teaching our high schoolers should go beyond just earning a salary.

Im a freshman at DTHS. Going here has made me love school,and there always surprising us with different awards. Also they give lots of little fun days to show your spirit. Along with a jeans day every other friday! I mean what can get better then that! Then on top of it they offer free tutoring after school if you may need a little more help.

Dutchtown High School is one of the finest educational atmospheres I have seen in a while. They pair fun and creative techniques with education and the students enjoy the school very much. The school spirit is outstanding and the encouragement from the staff to the student to participate in their high school is also phenomonal. It is a structured, monitored enviroment, while still allowing some freedom to its students. The leadership from the administration is great, and I know that my child will come out with happy years from Dutchtown. Go Griffins!

I am a freshmen at Dutchtown. I love the school. However there is a problem with over population. It's a problem but it does not effect many students grades.

I love attending DTHS. I do however dislike the overcrowding in the hallways. It's hard to get to certain classes on time. However, I'm in my senior year at Dutchtown and I am so glad to be attending it at Dutchtown. Go Griffins! =D
