Terrible and unorganized in every way. Now don't get me wrong at least 10 staff members are good there and thats saying a lot.
teacher
Kids run the school. “Leadership” does not discipline kids or support teachers when they try to. Few good teachers that keep trying but lots of teachers are over it and have given up. Those teachers go undisciplined by admin too.
parent
Our daughter has been at DHS for three years, is in the top 5 of her class taking mostly AP classes and all her teachers have been great! She plays on the tennis and golf teams, is involved in numerous clubs, and is in the National Honor Society. Denbigh has been a blessing for our family and we are so happy with the education provided by the school!
teacher
The faculty and staff at Denbigh is working hard to turn the school around. The new principal Mr. Vladu seems to be truly committed to making sure that all students have a safe, productive, learning environment. Many of the teachers are DHS Alumni and have a vested interested in the success of the school. Many go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure the success of their students. The school is working diligently to change the community's perception of the school. Are there problems? Yes, but the school is better than it was last year and I am optimistic that it will continue to improve in the coming years.
