Derby High School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-09-30 “We have 3 girls, and although we are a military family that have seen our fair share of schools, we have always done everything to have our girls in middle and high school here in Derby, Ks. This is one of the best schools in the nation, hands down. Starting with the 6th grade center, helping children adjust to middle school. The middle school only has 7th and 8th graders, and allows children to grow with peers closer to their own age and interests. The high school 9th , 10th, 11th and 12th, has excellent programs everything from ROTC, to weight-trainning. It promotes health, education, and family/student involvement. They also offer multiple fashion classes, airbrusing, clay, woodworking, broadcasting, forensic, mech drafting, and the list goes on. Panter pride runs deep here, and for anyone thinking about school systems in kansas. This is the best choice to make!!!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-05-06 “It really is too bad that this school is more focused on social hour than it is on education. I've known kids that graduated from this school that barely knew how to read. A very low standard of education, I had one child go to this school. It was the worst thing that I could've done being the rampant alcohol/drug culture at this school. I could think of better schools where teacher's actually care and just not pass any kid that comes through their classroom to look like they're doing their job!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-03-02 “I am a student at derby high school and it's pretty cool. I am involved in marching band, AFJrotc, and flag line. DHS has really good teachers an its a pretty safe school” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-06-19 “I am a former student of DHS. I have sent 2 children to school there. I have one in the 10th grade & the other has graduated. I'm very disappointed with the school. My child has been bullied on several occasions but she is labeled the trouble maker due to her skipping classes to avoid the bullies. Now she wants to drop out. I have pointed this problem out but it seems to be continuing. There are some great teachers that really do care about the students. There is to many students for teachers to keep track of what's going on in the classrooms or hallways. Now I'm making plans on Home Schooling my daughter. We have had enough of the bulling. I don't blame the teachers its just the school has to many students where a lot can go unnoticed.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2007-05-15 “I am a graduate of DHS. I attended both Wichita public schools and DHS during high school. I think hands down Derby is above the rest. We moved out of state and have since moved back and I wanted to make sure we relocated in the Derby area so my children could attend the Derby schools.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 3 2007-04-07 “I thik that this school is one of the worst ones in the state, im a senior and ive attended derby high for 4 years, and i've been in the district for all 12. This school has some good things but most of all, it focus's on the wrong things, like making sure we can pass the federal test's, and it really doesn't teach any of the students anything. Im sorry to hear that the district is failing the test's but students are more important and they dont seem to see that. There are some very qualified teachers, and then there are alot more that aren't qualified at all. I am involved in music, soccer, marchingband, pep band, jazz band, poetry.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 3 2007-03-30 “I am a former student of DHS. My experience with the teaching staff and with the principal was not a good one over all. I will say that there are a few good teachers in each department that really care about the students in their class rooms. Over all the student body is just too big to keep even the most dedicated students from falling through the cracks.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-03-29 “Derby High is the Best High School I've ever seen I love that High school theres no problem everyone is so nice teachers are always there to help and they worried about their student's of not passing and it's a beautiful place” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2007-01-03 “I am a graduate of Derby High School who moved to the district at the beginning of my Junior Year. I was a military kid, so I was used to the constant moving; however, I was very nervous about entering a new schoool district with different graduation standards, a different culture, and different opportunities than my last school. I am proud to say that the school staff and students welcomed me with open arms and made the transition incredibly easy. Despite the schools size, the faculty new me by name, and because of the schools size, I was able to experience opportunities that were previously unavailable to me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Derby and my experiences in the band, cross country, swimming, and FCA. If you are moving to the Wichita area, I would suggest looking into the Derby school district.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2006-10-05 “I am a student at derby high school and I love it! I hated wichita schools and Derby makes me feel more safe!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-01-18 “We graduated two children, a boy and a girl, from Derby High School after attending DHS beginning in 4th and 6th grade. My children found wonderful, caring teachers and a learning environment that helped them to excel. The extra curricular activities in Derby are wide-ranging and leave opportunities for every child in the district to find a place where they fit-in and can meet people with like interests. The parents truly care about the students and reputation of the school district. The community - for the most part - is supportive of the expense involved in living in one of the fastest growing cities in the state, and are usually willing to support the school district. THIS IS A FINE SCHOOL - We have been very proud to be associated with this school and community of Derby, KS.”
