This is a great school Close Quote

This is my first year at Duluth High, my son is in the 9th grade. I often email his teaching team about his progress and they always reply immediately to my emails. I have watched his grades, studied materials and classwork throughout the year and he is steadily succeeding. His teachers will notify me if there is any issues with his class performance. My son has been promoted to the honors English class.
I enjoy the racial makeup of the school, it is 25% equal across the board. It is 25% African-American, 25% Caucasian, 25% Asian and 25% Hispanic. The PTA is great and there are lots of opportunity to volunteer. I have volunteered twice this year and witness the students interacting with one another. The children seemed grouped according to interest and not ethnicity.
There are several issues that have to be stated along with the positive. The school's football program is struggling but my son, who plays football wanted to stay even after being offered chances of going to private schools. He believes in the coaches. You have to contact your child's teacher at least once a month. This communicates to them that you are concern and involve. You can not leave the school responsible for your child's success. I do not enjoy where the school is located, down in a little hole. Traffic is crazy dropping off in the morning. It takes me 10 mins to drop off starting at Buford and Brock. I don't know about the evening because he catches the bus home. Finally, there is drug activity, so you should truly be speaking to your child about saying no to drugs during their 8th grade year.
I only gave 3 stars because of the football program, hopefully when we graduate, I can give five stars. Duluth is a great school and we are wildcats for life. Close Quote
