Before laying out potential plans for bringing more kids back to Del Norte High School, principal Alison Eckart shared a grim statistic with the Board of Trustees the number of students receiving Ds and Fs increased by more than 50 percent over last year.
During the first six-week grading period for the 2020-21 school year, 60 percent of DNHS students received Ds and Fs, according to Eckart. She didn’t yet have the statistics for the second grading period, pointing out that it had just ended, but Eckart said they were bleak too.
