TEA nearly shut them down once. They need to follow through and save the young minds from this poor excuse of a school and give them the opportunity to actually receive an education.
Loved the way our kids were taught and the success they had as students. I love the open campus and availability of teachers and administrators, where I as a parent could contact anytime. Thanks Desoto. Eagle for life.
They don't give the kids an option of what electoral classes they want to take, instead the force 100's upon 100's of students into whatever career program they can to collect as much money as they can from the state. 30-40 kids in one class, with one teacher? How much are these kids learning? This is a high school, not a college campus. These classrooms can't even accommodate that many students. 2) Sports, if you are involved in any Sport (primarily football or basketball) and you are a remotely decent athlete, your going to pass and you're going to Graduate. It doesn't matter if you sleep through the entire school year, you will pass in order to ensure you are eligible to play and win championships. What happens to you after high school? Well that is no longer DHS problem. Desoto does not care, they just need to win their championships to continue their sponsorships and again make them more Money. You're not a part of DHS athletics? That's okay, you will still pass, some way, some how, this school is not concerned with the future of these kids, they are concerned with themselves and themselves only. They continuously pass students left and right and every 4 years send 1000's of students out into the world that are completely helpless with no education and no hope of a career. Look at their state testing scores, and explain how you can score among the lowest in the state, yet you have majority of your students passing and graduating high school?
Desoto high school does not deserve any stars at the end of the school year kids say they did not learn anything thats not good.Desoto high too strict with the dress code what wrong with the wearing a shirt with worlds on it.I regret sending my kids here plus lowest test score.
I graduated from this school in 2015 and and I can tell you that this school DOES NOT prepare you for college! This high school doesn't teach you anything unless you go to an Advanced Placement (AP) class. The teachers in regular classrooms like to play around with the students instead of giving them real work to help them learn and prepare for college. The students in this school like to act like they come from the ghetto bringing in drugs and the teachers easily pass students who are lazy and don't learn a thing. Also there's too many students in 1 classroom. They either need to make another high school or expand the high school and hire REAL teachers who are willing to teach.
Students are allowed to do just about whatever, whenever they would like without reciprocation of any sort. Students threaten teachers, make sexual comments at the staff, fighting one another and what happens ? They are sent to the office where they receive a slap on the wrist and immediately directed back to class. What is this teaching our kids?!? We aren't educating them, we aren't disciplining them? What are we really do for them? Nothing. And do not think about questioning their antics or you will find yourself fired or removed from the school system. They are so quick to throw our words like "hostile" or "harassment" the moment you question their methods. It's absolutely ridiculous.
The building violates health standards and the students barely learn anything . The school has low security of bullying and no one can do their job right also students have a high risk or chance getting into a fight at this school and getting seriously injured. DeSoto High School does not reassure that your child is safe in their hands. Molesting and harassment happens every now and then in this school,students have the possession of drug use and also drug dealing at this school. DeSoto High school needs the be shut down because of the violating health code that is not being fixed and also the drug dealing.
And who thought of "BYOD" (Bring Your Own Device) a.k.a An excuse to use your cell phone and have it with you in class to text, FaceTime, Facebook etc. How can you expect 13-18 year old kids to learn a thing when they are allowed to have their cell phones with them at all times throughout the day. It's a joke!
This school really deserves 0 stars. DHS really does not even deserve the title of a "School" or anything remotely close to a learning facility. Their (By "their" I am referring to admin staff, principles, assistant Principles, superintendent) priorities are listed as follows. 1) Money. Make as much money as they can, any way they can, to fill their own pockets. (When has anyone ever heard of an assistant - assistant superintendent, and no, not just 1 there's several)
The things that take place within this High School are disgustingly sad.
