Horrible my son has been under stress because of teachers not wearing mask all the threats that are being made at the school my son does not feel safe at all in school a security guard even went into bathroom and began to harass my son .students are sick and not reporting it and as for health and safety very poor to the point my son fears to go to school especially when not even staff are all wearing mask as they are Sapose to where are in a pandemic my son struggles as well being Latino and how he's treated differently. Sad our daughter went through the same thing when she attended Durfee high school in fall river ma.

AP Classes are fantastic. Every year several kids go in to IVYs. Focus on that!

I only attened Durfee for 6 months as a freshmen and it was the worst experience of my life. There was a lack of interest and of passion. The teachers certainly didn't care. Most classes were too big to control so we sat there using our phones for the period. I gained nothing from my time there especially nothing with any educational value, and dreaded showing up every morning.
