David Douglas Charter School is a excellent learning establishment. I have had one child complete her 3rd,4th and 5th grades there and now she is attending Alice Ott and getting all A's..Now I am faced with the choice of moving or allowing my smart eager to learn child into the David Douglas Highschool which is highly overpoplated and under challenging.
