Desoto County High School Reviews

Even for a small town, with only one high school, I think our grade is less than exceptional: Although, I have been raised to reach my full potential, and always do my best. None the less, FCAT grades aren't always what's important. DeSoto High is crawling with bright and above average students, there is just no extra push, or "gifted" classes to extend our knowledge. Aside from grades and academics, we know how to have fun, and ultimately succeed. No matter what the school FCAT grade is, it's all about how you do as an individual. Your whole school is not looking at the same college, or the same career path. Just shine as an individual.
