Darby High School

Posted May 16, 2007

The teaching staff at Darby Schools continues to be excellent. The community passed a mill levy in recent weeks, proving their support for what these talented individuals are doing. Hopefully, new books will be purchased, especially math. The low student teacher ratio continues to be a critical advantage with Darby's test scores the highest in our district. Areas that continue to need improvement are the high administrative salaries. The teachers salaries should come first. Also, the discipline policy is very good. Especially the anti-drug policy. However, enforcement is inconsistent. Especially concerning the dress code. Female students frequently dress in violation of the dress code and male staff seem to have a problem addressing this. Our volunteer base is outstanding. Our PTA continues to bring parents together and provide a voice to and for the community! I will continue to enroll my children and remain an extremely satisfied parent. Go Tigers!

Darby High School always has been, and always will be, a fantastic school. For the size of the town in which it is in, there are a wide variety of classes offered, including college prep classes. The teacher:student ratios are low, and staff involvement in the success of the students is superb. However, as with any small town mentality, progress is not always welcome and the school suffers due to lack of funding. Education opportunities, in any environment, are only as good as the involvement of the society in which they present themselves. Unfortunately, ignorance abounds due to no fault of the school itself. Each and every child at Darby High School is offered an excellent education. Whether or not that opportunity is taken advantage of, however, is another story.

Darby has been a great school up until now. With all this origin crap out there. It is threaten this school. Why did they have to bring that to Darby. We had a great school people willing to do anything for anyone. Now I feel if this goes thur I will have to transport my children to Hamilton which I know for a fact there is 23 other students that there parents feel the same way. So much for funding for darby school if the enrollment goes down that much and who else knows how many will leave.
