Danbury High School

Teachers are not helpful and some are downright mean. Treats student like trash. Rules are over the top even for the smallest things. Food is terrible. No quaitly teachers and too many subs.

The lower levels (elementary and particularly middle school) have some good to excellent teachers. Once your child gets to the 9th grade however it might be time to start considering other options. The high school offers very little above the basics and the electives (band and art) are far below par. The only foreign language offered is Spanish so even the students who speak Spanish as their first language are stuck taking it. Ridiculous. Perhaps they could at least offer one more option? Maybe that will change soon. To be frank, they have far too many young coaches teaching real classes. While some are good (a top notch coach and veteran teacher is retiring soon), some of the younger ones seem much more interested in the prevent defense than doing a real job. If your child is an excellent student then they will overcome of course but for a child that struggles a bit or has little interest in sports (which they definitely make top priority at the expense of other things), then this might not be the best fit. They do offer some college courses for older students so inclined and that is certainly one bright spot to consider.

Just average and if your student moves to another district with higher education level they may find themselves struggling to keep up. Not much to offer outside of basic academics. High emphasis on sports though. Okay small school atmosphere, friendly environment but not much past that.
