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.

DECA does a wonderful job at preparing its scholars for college. The courseload is rigorous, but once finished it sets a good foundation for work ethics and discipline. I wish the school offered more student activities, like sports and clubs.

My experience as a DECA student was very interesting. DECA is far from a traditional school. The entire school is on one floor of a building. This leaves everyone to get to know everyone. At DECA students find their "people" who they develop string bonds with. These bonds are the ones that help guide and support them throughout their time at DECA.

I can only give my perspective as a teacher who works there. DECA is unlike the schools I attended when I was in grade school and by that I mean that I went to schools where kids (for the most part) did what they were told without the need to constantly redirect them, repeat directions, or issue con...

The School is designed for students that want to succeed and for being in existence for such a short time they have shown results! And as a former student I will tell you DECA students work just as hard as college students and it all pays off!
