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.

The school is the most diverse in the state or Oregon. We have very high attendance rates and highly competitive spot teams. A new CTE building is being built and will be done December 2025.

David Douglas has always had me dreading getting up in the morning The overall aura that was presented in the school was very negative. Teachers did not put in their whole effort to help students learn and be better.

I came from Germany as an immigrant to the US. I went to David Douglas High School and learned to communicate fluently in English. ESL classes allowed me to be open up and change into an opened minded person. People around me were positive and encouraged me to become better. This has led me to embrace the American Culture and intergrade myself with the working society.
