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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

This school is adequately funded, which reflects in the quality of the teachers and facilities. There are many AP courses offered to aid in college readiness. However, more funding could be allocated towards performing and visual arts; a lot of the funding is concentrated in STEM and the school's band and football team.

I would say that the facilities are slightly outdated but our music program is nationally competitive and wins on the national stage.

I think DB has a LOT to offer but when it comes down to getting to the basics for the kids that need that type of help, I wonder if needs are being met. The hearts of teachers and admin at DB are certainly in the right place but sometimes you need to stop looking at all the BIG plans and look for th...
