I attended this school from 2023 to 2025, and unfortunately my experience was disappointing.
One of my biggest concerns was the quality of instruction. In many of my classes, lessons often consisted of watching videos, completing assignments directly from textbooks, or working independently for long periods. I felt that there was not enough direct teaching or explanation of the material. While building positive relationships with students is important, there were times when classroom conversations seemed to take away from instructional time.
I also had concerns about student safety. During my time at the school, my friend and I experienced ongoing conflicts with other students. The schools response was to create a no-contact agreement, but from my perspective, it did not effectively address the situation because we still had to attend school around the same students. As a result, I often felt unsafe and unsupported. I also witnessed multiple fights during my time at the school, which contributed to an environment that often felt stressful and distracting from learning. I understand that every students experience is different, and I know some former students have had positive experiences here. However, my experience was that the school appeared to place a stronger emphasis on athletics than academics. I believe schools should work just as hard to prepare future teachers, nurses, doctors, lawyers, and other professionals as they do athletes.
This review reflects my personal experience as a student who attended the school from 2023 to 2025. While others may have had different experiences, these were the challenges I faced during my time there.

We moved to OKC in May of this year so I could be next to my cancer treatment center and my kids chose to go to school down the road at Douglass initially for their strength in athletics. However, it has been the overall atmosphere, admin support and encouragement to excel academically that has really impressed me. I had concerns how well my kids would be received, but despite being them being white and Douglass being an HBHS, my kids have excelled socially and thrived on their sports teams. We have had ZERO issues with Douglass. I don't think every white family would have the same experience, you have to be mindful of the fact we inserted ourselves in their world, be respectful of the heritage / history and learn it and plug in socially and it will be a great experience. I don't understand why this school gets such a low rating. WE LOVE DOUGLASS!!! GO TROJANS!!!

This school is and has always been the beacon of hope for minority students. Many students whom come out of here are prepared for college. Currently there are 203 students taking college courses at Oklahoma City Community college. Because its a predominantly black school there will always be low ratings. However, its not the case. Like many black occupied things. If you want your scholar to compete, put them at a black school of innovators who will show you how to teach the top with limited resources.
