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.

We love Deretchin. We are enrolled in the dual program and it's been an amazing learning experience for my child. The principal is very involved and the teachers are great. The PTO has great activities and keeps everyone involved and they are always finding new ways to improve the school and the community.

Not “bad”, but more of the stereotypical “mean teacher” from children’s books. I...
