School Reviews1 10/10/2025Worst school in East Texas. Teachers gave up teaching a while ago and couldn't care less about the students. It is a freaking zoo and the keepers are the ones drugged. They are horrible for students with learning disabilities and don't help them.1 10/10/2025I'm not even sure if you could even call this a school. Most of the teachers don't even care to teach the children not to mention most of them are coaches. They have no programs since all funding goes to football. The district needs to come in and enforce more academic programs or provide transportation so children can go to other schools that will provide them with the real education they desperately need. I regret keeping my child in this school and would not recommend this district to any parent.Review Daingerfield High School. Reviews should be a few sentences in length.
