GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Being at Denton High School really changes who I am as a person. I met majority of my friends in this school and the teachers there is strict, but they are the most kindest people you could meet. The counselors really helped me get ready for college and all the things I need to do before college. There's people coming to my school to talk about things all the time and I think it's a great thing so people can become interested in them. We have things going on every week and sometimes it can be stressful, but towards the end it's worth because of the fun within. Denton High School is a place to go when it comes to Denton high schools in Texas.

If you pick the right classes, you'll get amazing teachers. They are passionate about their work and will go above and beyond to make sure you are where you need to be as a student. This school has a great atmosphere and personality. We may not always win sports, but other programs such as band, theatre, and art are great and have a great community.

Most problems are from budget cuts and (in my opinion) bad money distribution. Lots of amazing teachers.

My two teen boys have greatly improved their grades after moving here from Oklahoma. Some people feel entitled and are giving low ratings but if they fixed their problems at home maybe their children wouldn’t struggle in school.

This school does nothing about bullying: they tell the child being bullied to just ignore it! It’s ridiculous! What a horrible school!

A school full of adults who care about students. The students get out what they put in and if students try and really care about what they're doing academically then the students do great. Learning starts at home so if the kids have a great foundation then they will do great.
