"Amazing school in so many ways. I personally went to a very expensive and elite private school, yet I have no doubt that my children (at West and at STEM) are receiving an education that is superior to my own. I know that moving into this District when my children were young was one of the greatest gifts we were able to give them. Thank you to DASD!"

"My two daughters graduated in 2005 & 2006. They were very successful students (Honors, AP GPA's of 4.25 & 3.8 etc..) They were both good students on their own, but I believe the Faculty & Administration at DWHS was a great factor in their success. I found them to be supportive & caring. Students were treated with resprct, but who also expected to be respectful. The Musci, Arts & English Departments were the best. I think the language department could use a little improvement."

"There are high standards. The students have to work at it, but if they ask for help when its needed, they will do absoultly fine. The school proggrams are excellent from swimming to band to special needs."
