I've been very impressed with the leadership at Douglas. They are constantly working to improve and always asking "what would better look like?"

It’s not a good school because of the racism they judge you by your color and I’m Asian and native and they don’t accept me being here they are two faced

If I could put a zero I would. There’s way too much bullying going on up there, I have friends & family members who gotten bullied at this school repeatedly including me. Once we spoken up about it they treated it like it was a big deal, nothing happens though, bullying still continues. The school completely ignores the students & parents about these kinds of problems. They only care about youre grades & if you can pass, rather than putting effort to help the children pass. If you stick up for yourself THEN it’s a very big problem.
