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.

Every school has it positives and negatives. Deptford was a great experience for me as teachers were supportive and understanding engaging and willing to help students. They have a great administrative staff and counselors who actually help you figure out classes that will put you on the path to what your goal is. They also help as counsel in deciding what college and career path you would to pursue. Coaches of sports programs are not only focused on athletes performance but their educational and mental health. They do an amazing job of making sure that athletes are mentally okay just as they are physically. The negatives of this amazing high school is heavy traffic from parents and others drivers that hinder students from getting to class on time. Another negative is the lack of a left turn arrow for cars turning onto Fox Run road. The lack of this arrow makes it dangerous for student drivers who drive on that road. Changes that could help the school is a turn arrow for students.

The school itself is very clean and the teachers there are wonderful. this school is very diverse and has people from all over the world. The school also offers a variety of extracurricular activities such as various clubs and many sports. The only downside is that there are occasional fights that happen in the school.

The whole experience is great, but the administration needs to do better to help students and staff. Many students struggle with getting to school and getting involved and they are just left there to figure it out on their own.

Good. This is a tax payer public school. There's no tuition and teaches you to participate and earn.
