I have worked at Don Pedro High School for about a year now. Since our school is so small, our students are able to participate in a lot more functions and have a lot more one on one with their teachers and staff. I know every student by name (there are roughly 60 on campus students) and can tell you where each and every one is on any given time and day. The only thing that I hear most students complaining about, is the lack of sports to participate in. Without the numbers, it makes it more difficult, but with the few things that we do play, we are able to devote much more time and energy to these kids. Definitely needs an update with numbers, our students are amazing.

Don Pedro High school is the red haired step child of Big Oak Flat Unified School District. No football team, no gym, nothing to do. When my brother transferred from Downey High school, he had a B=+ average, but do to lack of courses at DPHS, his credits couldn't be transferred over, and he got an F average. When I graduated, there was only 13 students, and only 3 were girls. I'm a male, this was so frustrating never having a girlfriend. Parents, if you true-ley hate your children, this is the place for them to go. Don Pedro High = Red Neck University.

I graduated from this school a few years ago. The small size makes this school a very warm place to attend. The teachers have time for one-on-one attention to help the students excel. While the basketball team may not have the best scores in the league, they certainly have the best players. Since there's only about 60 kids in the school, everyone knows everyone and there's no such thing as 'cliques' and there's no popular v. unpopular or mean-spirited hassling . We're all just people in a big family. Considering all the ridiculous bullying Don Pedro High receives from Tioga (the 'mothership' of the school district) DPHS always manages to stay classy and keep its chin held high. I recommend this school for anyone who wants their child to learn some life lessons about being the underdog and how to work with whatever hand you've been given.
