Daingerfield High School

I think that the teachers are trying but they should find more creative ways to teach the kids. Try to relate to something in their lives, and work on that. Most of the students are busy or worried about something in their own lives rather than school. My son is a very smart kid but unless you challenge him with something that he is interested in you would not really see it. It has to be fun or interesting to him in order for him to really get in to it.

I am a Jr. at Daingerfield High School. I think that our school has a very good athletic program. but they care way to much about it. I also think that because of this TAKS test the teachers push and push so much stuff in so little time on us. If they made it fun than maybe we would pass every time. i think Daingerfield is an ok school i guess.

Daingerfield is a very outstanding school. If the the kids are not passing it's bc their parents are not getting involved. The teachers are teaching the best they possibly can.

DHS does have an outstanding sports program, but our academics is not as poor as some of the previous reviews report. We have an active group of about 50-70 students who participate in UIL academic contests and a number who have advanced beyond district. We have a superb math team with great roots from junior high competition. Our school has an active Business Professionals of America (BPA) chapter that competes at the regional and state levels every year and has had national qualifiers for at least the last 3 years. Our FFA chapter participates in all of the academic contests offered by its organization, like Parliamentary Procedure, Quiz Team, Skills, Public Relations, and so on. We also have a Health Occupations club, a Spanish Club, and an FCCLA club who all compete in academic contests pertaining to their respective fields.

Poor quality of education, getting worse. Would not reccommend sending any kids to this school young or older.

I am a parent of a sophmore student. She is being well prepared for college and life in her classes. She has been very successful in several extracurricular activities - not sports. She does not let the few unruly students interfere with her education.

I am a former DHS student, and the quality of this High School is below average to say the least. The faculty is mostly new and not very good. They interact very little with the students. Most of the older teachers have retired due to the nature of the students. The bad kids make it very hard for the good students to learn. The school has enforced very strict discipline policies that make DHS like a jail rather than a high school. All the school cares about is their sports programs. DHS does not stand for academics. I would not recommend sending anyone to this high school to receive a quality education.

I am a former student of dhs (class of 2007) and I would under no circumstances recommend daingerfield high school. My freshman year was not so bad, but as my senior year rolled around I was begging to leave. There needs to be a big change.
