Darien High School

Excellent in every respect. Rich choice of activities and academics. Experienced counselors and teachers and positive atmosphere. Strong support for IEP and 509.

For the right kid, this school is amazing. There is a wide variety of activities and courses, the facilities are outstanding, and the academic expectations are high.

When we moved to Darien from New Jersey, we walked in blindly, without knowing what to expect from the school and community. I have two kids that are currently juniors in high school, and even though they were concerned about the new environment, they really liked how attentive school staff and classmates are. They participate in AP classes and were able to keep their grades up.I would definitely recommend the school to anyone who wants a quality education and a good environment for their children.

This school was one of the worst experiences of my life. I got bullied and whenever I brought it to someones attention, they shrugged it off because my bulliers were doing extremely well in sports and they didn't want to affect their athletic careers. I played lacrosse here, and it was the only important thing to the school. My academics were put aside and were under appreciated. I went to dhs for freshman year, but then got out of here as soon as I could. The kids are rude, entitled, brats, and the teachers have no clue how to deal with them. The diversity in this town is so appalling, and I don't know why anyone would want to send there kid here.
