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.

My experience with Diamond Bar High School isn't what it might seem. Overall, as an academic school, the classes are challenging and the right amount of difficult to learn. However, teachers have different ways to teaching and sometimes it doesn't work out best. I would love for a change in the method of teaching/learning at Diamond Bar High School.

I like the DBHS environment, however when it comes to the math and science department, the teachers are really bad. I had a math teacher my sophomore year who would be absent at least once a week, and would often take days off a day right before our test. She would NOT respond to any emails you sent, unless you complain to your grade level coordinator. I had multiple breakdowns because of her. However other than her I really enjoyed my time, the students are really nice, and they offer lots of advanced classes.

The academics at Diamond Bar High School prepared me well for college. I enjoyed all my classes and the teachers care about their students greatly. However, I do think some of the resources were limited and you had to search for them outside of school.

The overall impression I got from administration was that I did not matter and my wellness and success as a student was not being put first. There are definitely great te...

I attended DBHS for two years. Worst two years of my life. I worked very hard to maintain a 4.0 GPA and still be in clubs and play high school sports and sports out of school. If teachers don't like you they will make class hard for you. Social ranking is a very big thing at this school. If you don'...
