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 have been At Deep Creek High School for four years. During that time not one teacher would go along with my 504 plan to help me concentrate on my work. I have ADHD and it has been very challenging to say the least. My mother has been involved many times but they simply don't care. Quit sad in my view but I made it anyway. I am on track to graduate. The food is not great and could use some improvement. However the parking lot is very large which is nice.

The best part of Deep Creek High School is that once you attend, you are apart of the community for the rest of time. As they say, "Once a hornet, always a hornet". The worst aspect of the school was the dress code and the food. I would like to see the dress code be updated to represent equality.

Deep Creek High School was a very fun and interesting while also teaching me skills needed in the real world. The best part about it was meeting the different people that go there and learning about all the subjects. The worst part was the final exams because you had to remember everything you learned since the beginning of the year.

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!

My daughter attended Deep Creek High School as a member of the school's Science and Medicine Academy. I have nothing but great things to say about the school. She had the best teachers and access to the same AP and Duel Enrollment courses that are available in all Chesapeake high schools. She gradua...
