Beginning in 2007, I became a student at SDOHS. I had transferred from Deer Valley HS as a sophomore. Despite not being overly fond of studying and homework, my three years there weren't too bad. It was more the experience and the friends I made while there that left an impression on me. Most of all, though, I miss my senior year class of 2010: they provided me with some of the best moments of my high school life.

It's heartbreaking to witness the state of this school, as we already possess some of the worst public schools in all of America. There is no one keeping these schools responsible for their actions or lack thereof. The counseling office had complained to the district that they were overwhelmed and required an extra 60 days to enter student GPAs when they enrolled in college. Permission was granted to refuse any questions from students and parents due to being overburdened with work. The four principals try as best they can to evade students and parents; when you try scheduling a meeting with them, you are referred back to their secretaries who inform you that their schedules are full. The office staff speaks rudely towards both students and parents, and cafeteria staff have even been seen pushing students around or grabbing them by their arms! We did report this issue to the school district but I feel powerless since it is a public school - my two daughters attend here, and upon conversing with other parents, it appears they share similar grievances regarding this school too.

Was from 2012 class, had a nice experience as foreign student.

Love my school
