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 love my high school because the staff definitely looks out for me. The best part of my school is socializing with my friends and learning in a positive environment. The worst part would be the fights, but it isn't often. I would like to see more fun interaction with the students and staff.

Deep Creek has a high number of teachers that are alumni and I think it positively impacts their dedication to the students & the school. Our family has loved every part of Deep Creek high school from the coaches (shout out to the basketball program) to the administrators. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
