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.

I enjoyed the staff they were dedicated to students and had great class management. Personally I was not a fan of how many lecture based there are. If students had more hands on learning it would teach them interpersonal skills how to work with the world around them.

I loved my time at D'Evelyn Jr/Sr High School. I felt extremely prepared for a rigorous university while taking a difficult major (biology). This school has also helped train me for the school/life/athletics lifestyle. I really enjoyed my time at D'Evelyn and felt that I got a good liberal arts education that still allowed me to focus on the science aspect. The worst part was not getting the credit for how hard we worked. For example, not getting honors credit for the honors classes.

Based on their standardized test scores and achievement through elementary and middle school, my expectation was, honestly, that they achieve straight A's in high school. But now they both hav...

This school has no care for the students only caring for the test scores. The teachers are shown in many ways to have no care about the students well being, the teachers only contacted me when I was "bringing down the point average". D'evelyn teachers would assign at least 2 hours of homework per ni...
