GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Deland High School was one of the better schools in within the Volusia County Schools district. I do feel as though there should've been more diversity and inclusive programs to represent every child at the school. I also think that there should be consistency with counselors and the student population. Students should have the same counselor throughout their high school career.

Fun!! There is lots of opportunities for fun memories to be made but also to hold leadership positions. The city and school has a deep history and culture that creates a big family. I have loved being a Bulldog!

I've had an overall wonderful experience at Deland High School, I've gone all here all four years and I don't regret it for one moment. The music and arts program is phenomenal, the teachers are overall excellent, the safety and administration is all good too. Only thing that is sometimes an issue are student conflicts and the food quality. However, these are small issues that are not even close to deal breaker level. One major positive about Deland High School is the school spirit, the entire school is very involved and the town of Deland is extremely supportive.
