"A good school, but could improve in some areas"

We sent our daughter to Debenham High School a few years ago and had mixed experiences. On the one hand, the school has a great sense of community and the teachers are passionate about their subjects. On the other hand, we felt that the school could do more to engage with parents and keep us informed about our child's progress.
